*sits next to RG and waiting for Phee to show up*

Our crackship is cracking and sinking.  I had high hopes that Adam and Eddy had the balls the guts to follow in the tradition of Anderson’s ending.  Looks like the power of Disney is too hard to buck.  This is a sad day in the Hookriel ship.

This sounding more like Once Upon A Time in Wonderland AND Agrabah. Do we even know if any of the other characters from Aladdin are going to make an appearance for certain?

Lol, Josephine. Just saw your tweet to Adam. I hope he answers you. I want to know whether RegalCat is an actual possibility.

I just had to get it off my chest.  So far no answer, but maybe I’ll luck out and get something.

Besides the age thing, a reason I can’t support RegalCat in any way, shape or form is that he’s aided in kidnapping Henry.  I don’t care what way you look at it.  He’s helped  kidnap an eleven year old boy and who knows how many other countless victims for Peter Pan.  I can’t see Regina ever seeing him in a romantic light after knowing he had a hand in kidnapping her son and taking him to another realm.  I can see her throwing a fireball at him or even ripping his heart out, but I can’t see her falling for him.

I wonder if they’ll have the mermaids wear seashell bras, have the fish part cover their breasts or use their hair and a skin colour body suit.

Here are some screencaps of PeterPan’s mermaids:

The animators used all the methods you mentioned:  hair, starfish, shells, and even a lei.

I think the idea of someone from THO putting Belle in danger is more interesting. They could potentially actually hold her prisoner, and Robin could free her, to parallel how she freed him.

Because that’s what Belle needs–to be kidnapped again.  😀 

*shakes head*  Please, please, Belle, I’m begging you.  Take some self-defense classes…and carry Rumple’s pistol.  😉

In the ending of Through the Looking Glass the Red King is sleeping under a tree and Alice is told that maybe she’s just a figment of his imagination and a product of his dreams and that when he wakes up then the game will be over and she will disappear. So something happens, I forget and haven’t gotten that far yet, but she shakes the queen thereby “taking her” and putting the red king into checkmate. He wakes up and she’s back home in her house. The game is over.

I do wonder in Once if we’re going to have a White Queen. She was shown briefly in the beginning but so far hasn’t had too much of a role so far.

We should just have a OncePodcast read along 🙂 The book is here for free:  Through the Looking Glass .  I downloaded to my e-reader, but you can read it on your computer and it’s quite short at only 73 pages long.

Okay, thought I’d add this graphic.  It’s the chess match in the original book of Alice’s journey.

I was looking it up after I posted.  The age of consent in the US ranges from 16, 17 or 18.  My state has the age of consent as 16, however the other party can’t be more than two years older if the younger partner is under 18.  They can be charged with statutory rape.  So in essense, if you’re under 18 and having sexual relations it’s only legal if the other person is under 18, also. 

I agree, it being a family show the thought of having a “teenage” boy involved with a mature woman isn’t going to fly.  If this were cable television, I’d say yeah it would have a good chance of happening, but I can’t see Felix as  viable option for Regina’s affections. 

Regina’s love interest just may be another sailor in Neverland or even a Native on the island.  The problem is we only know the casting of those they’ve put out a casting call for and/or announced.  If they privately contacted a specific person who didn’t have to go through the auditioning process we won’t necessarily know until they want us to be privy to it.

In the U.S., there are varying laws governing adulthood.  The age when you can drive is 16, which is also the age of consent in some states.  Other states, the age of consent is 18.  Males have to register for the Selective Service at age 18 and that is the age you can vote.  But other things like drinking you can’t do until you are 21.  States also vary on what age to charge teens as adult for various crimes.   Additionally, some states allow for teachers to prosecuted for relationships with students even if the students are 18 in high school because they are under the care and protection of the school.  The best I can say is each state has its own laws governing it.  It’s all very complicated.  I’ve heard of cases where parents have had their child’s boyfriend or girlfriend who is 18  or 19 charged with statutory rape when their child is 17 and younger.  They might only be a few months apart in age.  If convicted, those 18 year olds would have to register as sex offenders for the rest of their life.    It’s very confusing and there is no clear cut answer to when adulthood begins.
