Our world is a land without magic, but that doesn’t mean it has no magic in it. Regina still had her crypt of magical objects and beating hearts. Graham’s heart was glowing so it had some magic attachted to it. And if Hook is in Ouat, that means Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle aren’t far behind. Both Peter and Tink visited our world. So I’m not ruling out something magical was in the box.

I don’t think Bae is the writer. He wouldn’t know the stories. He was born in a different time period hundreds of years before Snow and the Scoobie gang.

As for who wrote the book, I think it was either the Blue Fairy, Rumple, or just a product of the curse. Although, I think Rumple was shot down for some reason. I don’t remember why I quit thinking he wrote the storybook. It may have had to do with him having nothing to do with Pinocchio’s story, but I think there was another reason I’m forgetting.

Wouldn’t it be wild if Regina actually wrote the book. 😆

Back to Bae, I do think Neal is Bae. I just can’t see him being the White Rabbit. Everything just points to him being Baelfire. He has to be some fairytale character. He just wasn’t shocked at whatever he saw in August’s box. The look was just so telling.

Also, as it’s been said many times, in the People magazine picture, Henry was wearing both Baelfire’s and Emma’s clothing. I think that is very telling, too.

Aww, thanks, Bee. I feel special to be stalked. 😆

I do think Neal is Bae AND Emma’s true love. I don’t care how many people harp on it that it’s too coincidental and sloppy writing, but it’s true. The whole theme of the show is love and redemption. I just see this happening.

Okay, sadly I relate everything back to Harry Potter now, but everyone’s read it and it’s easy to do. But it’s like with Ron and Hermione. Half of fandom thought Ron didn’t deserve her. He wasn’t as brave as Harry or as smart as Hermione. He was rude to her and made cracks about her all the time. But she wasn’t an angel, either. She harped on him and acted like his mother a lot of the time. But there was something there. A spark that she just didn’t have with Harry. No matter how much Harry might have been a better partner when you list the facts out, or how much it would have been a much healthier relationship than Ron/Hermione, it just didn’t happen. For some reason, they loved each other…before they even realized it. I feel the same way with Bae being Neal, Henry’s father and Emma’s true love. I might be all too much of a coincidence, but so what! Not everything has to be because someone deserves something or earns it. I don’t see it as a coincidence and sloppy writing, but tight plotting and storytelling. The curse is enclosing everyone in this tight knit circle, so naturally everyone is connected.

So I do think Henry is the product of true love and Swanfire is endgame. Do I think it will happen anytime soon? Not on your life. But I think it will eventually a few seasons away happen.

Neal had the dreamcatcher in his apartment in the first episode.

I’m thinking he still has dreams about Rumple letting go of his hand, that is if he’s Bae. 😉 This FTL memories still haunt him, in my opinion.

Should all the box threads be combined? I think there are three on here.

Maybe it’s a heart. 😆 Maybe August has taken to ripping hearts out of people. I know he ripped Neal’s out after he convinced him to leave Emma.

I’m going to be waiting for the famous line ‘I will find you’ from Hook 🙂 . I just realised though that this is similar to how Charming and Snow started. they weren;t exactly friends at first but they soon grew on each other… like mother like daughter
I might be reading too much into this but Emma and Hook both have a tattoo in the same place and (im guessing Emmas is about Neal) they both symbolise their lost love

This could apply to Neal and Emma, too. Snow met Charming while stealing something from him. Emma met Neal while stealing something from him, although in Neal’s case he’d stolen it from someone else.

I do think they’re going to do Emma and Hook. At this point, I think it’s inevitable, however, I think Swanfire is endgame. Emma kept the car, despite all that happened. I think that is telling. But I think things are going to get a lot worse for them before they ever get better. Probably won’t even happen this season. They’ve both got major issues to work through and Henry will be caught in the middle. It’s not going to be pretty, but it will be interesting.

I think it may have been a picture of the dagger, but it could be a fairy or a shadow. Whatever it was, it convinced me that Neal is Bae. Emma took her son being poisoned to make her believe. Neal just looked into a box to make him believe. He looked more resigned than shocked at whatever he saw. Emma was freaked out. So that makes me really think he is Bae.

Do you think they were preventing the other cast members from tweeting to him? Didn’t they start to tweet to the actors playing Aurora, Mulan and Phillip this summer? I might be remembering wrong. It’s been a few months. They seem like a really friendly cast and tweets aren’t uncommon, but this is the first between a cast member and him.

Let’s hope he does great tonight and we don’t want to crucify him after whatever he does to Emma is revealed. But I have faith. I love Rumple despite all the horrible things he does. I have a feeling with Baelfire if he’d rip someone’s heart out we’d just say, “Oh, he’s had a rough childhood being dropped down a swirling green vortex.” 😆

Yay, MR-J is getting some love finally. But I can understand people have different preferences. I can acknowledge that Hook is gorgeous and sexy, but I don’t find him personally alluring. I don’t know why. I see how other people could, but he just doesn’t do anything for me. However, I did melt a bit when I watched the sneak peak and the Canadian promo. I guess looks aren’t everything, although I do think he’s physically attractive, too. But then I have a major crush on Robert Carlyle. 😉 There’s just something about Rumplestiltskin’s family. 😎

I think the reason he wanted the baby was because he knew she’d never fulfill her deal. I think he was crafty enough to know Charming would imprison him. He needed the name of their baby and knew they’d come to him in the cell. He knew Regina was enacting the curse so he played the Charmings for the name of their baby and Regina for wealth and comfort in their new home. I don’t think he ever really wanted the baby, but wasn’t above taking it if she did give in to the deal.
