I’ve actually tried to convince myself Baelfire isn’t possibly Henry’s father recently, realizing I’m far too fond of the idea in case it doesn’t happen. Also, if a man in his 90’s or a 14 year old pop up out of the wood-work, I’d feel kind of creepy next season. Then again, I keep coming back to it. Even the quote, “a very important part of the puzzle,” makes me think of Baelfire: the curse that connects all of the characters was created to find him. In an interview before* the final episode, Ax and Horowitz were asked if Baelfire would make an appearance in the final and the answer was something along the lines of, ‘his absence will be felt.’ Can’t help but tie that quote with the idea of a missing puzzle piece….even though a lot of puzzle pieces are clearly missing in this story!
I think what interests me most with Baelfire being Henry’s dad would be the impact for all character involved in the family-tree, but mainly Henry. He is clearly very invested in being ‘good’. For someone who’s struggled with where he belongs for his whole life, getting the storybook and learning that he is the next generation’s ‘prince’ after a legacy of ‘good guys’ has given him an identity. Think about when he told Regina that good will win, and she’s going down. He’s still young and has a very limited idea of goodvs.bad. There’s no gray area for this kid yet, and the gray areas are obviously very important in this story. I’d be interested in seeing him have a few episodes of enjoying this goodguy life with his grandparents and mother and then figuring out that his grandfather (and probably father) are a bit more….morally ambiguous.Could someone check me on this? I zoomed into the ‘Ex-Jailbird’ article, not expecting to be able to read very much, but noticed that Emma was apparently visiting friends of her foster parents in Worcester, Massachusetts the evening she was arrested. When Emma was seventeen, the date is noted as being June 14th or 16th and the year 1995 or 1996. Can anyone make it out? If that was a little more than ten years ago, the present SB is 2005/2006. Could later seasons have ‘flash forwards’ to 2012 maybe?
