    Well i think it is clear that Emma is causing things to happen by her presence and her actions. Like Gold got his memories back when he heard Emma’s name and the clock ticked when she decided to stay in town and the mines caved in when she became deputy and put on the badge and Regina’s tree dying the longer she stayed in town. There is something magical going on there. Which is why i like the idea that Emma wishing on the blue star candle could have caused something to happen. And that maybe Emma could have caused other things to happen as well before she came to Storybrooke. I don’t know though about that. It is just a theory.

    And about the lying thing. It isn’t that it is a superpower. It is just that she is really good at reading people. The problem is in the past she has been able to not be emotional about it because she hasn’t had any real connections, but now when it comes to Henry and Mary Emma’s emotions get in the way and she can’t read people because she is just thinking emotionally and not rationally and objectively thinking and and reading the situation. I think that makes sense. If anything is true about the characters in this show they are not rational when it comes to their children.

    PS. I don’t think the curse is technically completely broken because everyone is still in the real world and like Emma asked Henry they haven’t returned to fairytale land yet.

    I am not sure that Rumpel knows exactly what that bottle of love is going to do. I think he knew it would bring magic back, but i don’t think he understands exactly what that means in the real world.

    I do agree TheDarkOne that there is something about the theory that Bae is the father that just rings true. Because it is so neat and adds the connection. And then makes Henry the one who can sort of bring these characters together, It is like the black and white of it all. Like the good guys daughter and the bad guys son. The Romeo and Juliet of it all. That sort of very normal plot form going on there. I think for me though i would rather Bae know who Emma is somehow, maybe he is in contact with the Blue Fairy, i have no idea, but just have him meeting Emma not be an accident. The falling in love or whatever happened between them could be something that was unexpected, but maybe have them meeting be something that happened on purpose. And maybe if the father is Bae and he doesn’t know Emma, that somehow someone else could know and contrived for them to meet. I think that when it comes down to it i don’t quite like that their meeting would just be completely accidental.

    And maybe they could say Emma caused it. Like there was sort of the suggestion that when Emma wished on the blue star candle that she didn’t have to be alone on her birthday that somehow that could have caused Henry to come to her. Maybe the magic of that moment caused the lead up. I would be fine with this. I am not sure the writers are that thoughtful though.

    And i do think that it is likely they will imply that Henry’s father is the one who was meant to be just because this show has done so much about their being one love for each person and that’s it. That also seems contrived, but it is a show about fairy tales where that is a very normal storyline.

    The thing is Lil’Red that about the “a very important part of the puzzle” quote is that in the same answer they also called Graham a “pivotal” character which he wasn’t really. I think that the Huntsman’s story was interesting. And i liked how they talked about the fact that the Huntsman save Snow’s life sort of created this connection between him and Emma because she would never have been born if he had killed Snow. There was a lot that was interesting there, but i wouldn’t call the character pivotal.

    And whomever Henry’s father is he is going to be an “important part of the puzzle” because he is Henry’s father and especially if he is more then that to Emma, like if they are meant to be together somehow. And i do think that there is a symmetry to the situation if Bae is the father because of the connection, but like i said at the same moment it seems too connected. I just think that Henry’s father is an important part of the character’s lives and will be important to the story whomever he is even if he isn’t Bae, but the issue is that if he is Bae it seems contrived and just too neat.

    And everyone is going to say of all the people in the whole world that Emma would meet Bae and they would hook up and have a child. I mean what are the chances. And they are going to have to give a satisfactory answer to that question. And it may be that if it is Bae he knew who Emma was somehow, though how he would know that i have no idea, how he would even know to look for someone like Emma, but maybe somehow he could know those things. It is just that making the father Bae just raises so many questions and they have to satisfy some of it.

    I am fine with it was meant to be and it was destiny to a point and this might be the point for me. It would be just a bit too much.

    Is Emma still going to be Sheriff? Are they going to have to fake being a normal town for the outside world? So many questions.

    I think that Henry found out Emma was his mother in the traditional way through that website and someone searching for the information and giving it to him. I don’t think the book had anything to do with that. Though it isn’t clear if he found out his mother’s name was Emma first and then the things in the book clicked or if it was the other way around.

    Even after he released magic into Storybroke, there are still conflicting theories on why he did this. Some think he did it for power, some think he did it for his son, some think it’s for revenge against Regina, and some think that it’s for the final battle.

    I actually think it is all of these things together. He wants power and he wants to find Bae. I think he wants revenge against Regina, but that is not why he loosed the magic. I think the final battle has to do with power.

    Sorry about the video. It is just sort of what i think about the character when they want power. What are we going to do tonight? Try to take over the world!
