    I think that is true. The thing is that would mean that Tremaine is his daughter because they are really hinting that Tremaine is Rapunzel.

    I do agree that the writers may hint at things though that nothing comes of. This happens all the time because these writers are very bad writers. They may hint that Tremaine and Alice are Rapunzel and Hook’s daughter, and then turn around and make random person number one be either of those people. These writers think that trick writing is better then building a narrative, which they are very wrong about and that is one of the biggest reasons their show is just not that interesting anymore.

    We are all here discussing the hints in the show and trying to figure out the mystery and it should be possible to do so. The hints should actually mean something, but since these writers are absolutely terrible, they might not mean a thing, and if that is so, again, then there will be no point in discussing the hints because they are meaningless.

    We will see. The writers said they were going to write mystery again. We will see if they actually do or if they just continue to write very bad and pointless trick writing.

    I really think there is just no rhyme or reason to why Henry and Gideon look older. The timeline was messed up many seasons ago. There are many moments that don’t fit in the timeline and then the whole dark one backstory was a hot mess. It makes no sense that Regina and Hook are still the same exact age when it has been fifteen years since Henry left town in the present day scenes.

    They aren’t going to explain this stuff. It just is what it is. They don’t think about anything like this ever anymore.

    I’ve liked what they’ve done with Tiana so far too. They need to do more with her though. I think they are still having the problem of the world not feeling peopled. They are trying to do that with characters like Tiana, but there just needs to be more there. We will see.

    The lines have already been crossed. Hook slept with Henry’s grandmother and his mother. This show has been gross for years.

    I agree that Alice being fake Hook’s daughter is not interesting. She is the only non connected female character on the show though, so it probably is her. It also seems like Tremaine and Hook know each other, so it probably isn’t Tremaine. Unless, it is just Anastasia or Drizella which maybe, but then why is Hook looking for his child in the flashback when he clearly knows where Tremaine is at? Though, that could be a writing error like how Emma acted at the beginning of the dark swan arc being extremely inconsistent with the end of that arc.

    Who knows. I do agree though that who fake Hook’s daughter is is probably not going to be that interesting of a plot point. Whether it is Alice or Anastasia or Drizella or whatever random person, i am not sure that it will matter. I could still see it being Anastasia just so that Hook could cry over her, but they might just do that with Tremaine and leave that plot with her.

    I am glad that they are done with the old characters now though because after four episodes, i feel like there has been a lot of filler wrapping up the old show instead of showing us what the new show is about.

    I sort of find the Henry actor to be pretty awkward. I don’t think that the Regina/Henry scenes are coming off as mother/son scenes and i don’t think that any of the romantic scenes are really working either. I just think it is mostly him because he is the one that likes Jacinda/Ella. Ella is more focused on her daughter in the present day and on taking down Tremaine in the flashbacks. I still think there is a beginning of something there, but i don’t find Henry or Ella to be all that interesting or likeable at this point.

    I don’t think there was any special chemistry with Henry and Ivy either. That, also, just felt awkward and that the flirting was supposed to be evil by Ivy and not really anything. This is one of those things that is moot. The moment they all get their memories back none of this is going to matter.

    I am also not really sure whether or not Drizella has her memories or not, so she might just be trying to trick Henry to mess with Ella and not for any other reason. That would mean if she is the other half of the LGBT couple that that has nothing to do with this.

    Everyone is going to be dead at the end of this show.

    I think there is no way that Henry would be interested in someone like Ivy. If they are just going to hook up then fine, but as some sort of relationship, i just don’t find Ivy to be someone that Henry would be interested in spending time with.

    I hate the whole connecting whether or not a female character is evil to her flirtation, but it is Ouat and Ouat is extremely backwards, so, of course, they are doing that.

    I am glad for them to be done with the old characters and for this to at least be a little bit about Regina. The Tiana stuff seems pretty pointless, but we will see i guess maybe Tiana is more of a character then they have made her so far.

    You know, maybe it is just Alice. They might have just had Henry drive through on his bike to show us where they are because they think the people who watch this show are idiots.

    I think Rumpel hearing his name being the trigger to regain his memories makes a lot of sense. That is why Alice was tripping over his name at first.
