As a new member, I had just put my first spoiler bbCode on a message because it gave away the main idea of an article mentioned in the first post of the forum and I didn’t want to ruin the article for others who had just opened the page. Is that bad form?
[adrotate group="5"]I will probably be alone in this, butI don't want them to bring Graham back in Storybrooke: it would cheapen his death and the impact it had on Emma if he returned as Graham. There has to be limitations in storytelling: making 'true love' a cure-all and bringing back the dead should be avoided IMO.
I might need to add to my first theory that bringing magic to Storybrooke has weakened the borders between the different worlds: something that is going to become a huge issue for our world as the season(s) goes by.
Oz will come into play next season. Regina will be noticeably quiet for the first few episodes (maybe a few scenes of her traveling, but nothing really to work with) until (mid-season finale?). Then, during some sort of outdoor festival or party, the flying monkeys that were pictured in Henry’s book first episode will descend upon Storybrooke and carry Henry away. Regina has been busy making new allies in Oz and we cut to Emma, Jefferson, August, and (….someone else? ) ready to enter the Oz door.
It was my understanding that Cora wasn’t aware and that Snow telling her really was the reveal. However, when she did realize her daughter was in love with a lowly stable boy, there had to have been other ways to handle the situation besides pulling your daughter’s true love’s heart out. I can see Cora ripping out a heart being very much aware of the turmoil this will send her child into. Maybe emotional trauma/hatred/deathoftruelove is what awakens Cora and Regina’s type of magic? If Cora had already manipulated events to make her child a queen, finding a situations to awaken her magic (even more power for the family) would have just been icing on the cake!
This is the storyline I have the hardest time sympathizing with. There are still a few years there, while Snow was growing up, where the main target of Regina’s revenge might have been Cora (maybe this will explain Cora’s whereabouts???). Maybe even Regina was successful in her revenge against Cora somehow (banishment or something, not death) but then realized it didn’t ‘fix’ Daniel’s death. Emptiness waiting to be filled seems to be kind of a theme for Regina (even before curse). Maybe when her revenge didn’t leave her happy, we get to the point in the story where she kills the King and turns her attention to destroying Snow?
He is very INVESTED in their futures and the conception of Emma. I never thought of Charming and Rumple as related but I definitely see the start of a bro-mance between Charming and Rumple (and some interesting Holidays if they shared a grandson). The Dark One is clearly the president of the Snowing fanclub, so maybe there is motive besides the two making a savior: if the product of true love was really all he needed, couldn’t that have occurred centuries before Charming and Snow? What about this pair caught his attention or did he just see in the future that it was them, their daughter, ect.?
And now I really want a scene where Rumple and Charming train Henry to sword fight. I am doing great repressing this theory!She tells Mary Margaret in maybe the second episode that finding is one of the few things she is good at in life – I think she even makes a comment to Graham and Regina in the first episode that finding people is just what she does. Since she can’t really tell if someone’s lying or not, maybe she will end up with some type of superpower after all.
All of us are just pulling theories out of thin air, and the writers clearly enjoy messing with us: return of the Huntsmen and Maleficent being examples.
I see where you guys are going with them having some type of supernatural connection (if Bae is the father/Emma’s true love). Since love cannot be made through magic (both Rumple and the Genie said so), maybe their initial meeting was engineered by Rumple through the curse, with the intent that she would bring Bae to Storybrooke. With this, any ‘romance’ or ‘baby making’ would have been accidental: she was supposed to FIND him, but maybe they found each other too soon. I like the idea that maybe parts could have been planned/organized, but in the end free-will(or fate) played a hand. Maybe even if they were more closely bond by magic, it was a result of some fault in the curse: some Bae DNA touched the True Love drop while scroll was rolled up or something.
I guess I want to see some limitations with Rumple’s planning at some point, so why not a botched plan to have his son brought to him and the creation of a grandson.
