ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
I do think that the obvious is still that Rapunzel is Hook’s daughter and that Rapunzel is Victory, but this show really likes to do the random thing instead of the thing that makes sense. That is very bad writing.
I think that Rumpel wants to not be the dark one. I am not sure if he is trying to kill himself. Though, the writers might write all of that really badly. The dialogue surrounding what happens is regularly the real problem with what happens. How things are framed are a mess.
Remember when the names had meaning, in the new show they just seem to be random.
It has to be another Wonderland. It can’t be the Wonderland where Cora was and it can’t be like Once in Wonderland because this is a different Alice.
I wonder how much we will ever see any of the other Wonderland characters. Like will there be a Hatter, or Red Queen, a Queen of Hearts, a Rabbit, or will we not really see any of that since they have done it twice.
They are probably trying to regain some of those Hook fans, by playing at one of their headcanons.
Maybe it does just have to do with Alice and Hook.
Maybe we will see how Rapunzel’s tower exploded?
Who is the other guy? Is that an older Roland? Or just a random to have a love triangle?
These make it seem like Alice and Hook know each other.
If fake Hook is young, then this should be at least thirty years ago, but who knows how the writers are going to think about all this.
