Dr. Whale would defiantly love to stalk Red around a party…
Was going to say Peter prior to Red being out on a full moon…but if your husband watches ONCE, he may not appreciate the future of the character…. 😥So I will second the idea of Whale!
[adrotate group="5"]TimeSpacer, I really do like the idea of Rumple writing the book. He seems to be linked to all the stories. The scene in the Price of Gold, where he tells Cinderella ‘every story needs a memorable detail!’ keeps coming to mind, because HE was always the person to add that detail – he definitely was working as an ‘author’ in these different fairytales. Knowing that Rumple could see the future to some extent (there’s probably some limitations) could explain why he made the book prior to the curse, knowing that the savior would have a son who would need it, read it, and bring his mother to town. (Limitation possiblility: doesn’t see that his son is the father of the savior’s kid???) If Rumple made the book prior to the curse, I still wonder how it ended up at Mary Margaret’s…I’ve wondered if Rumple was behind Snow having her engagement ring in Storybrooke, so he could of planted the book with her things also.
As if the Charmings, Regina, and Rumple didn’t already have enough reason to hate each other, the feud for Henry could be pretty intense. I wonder if Baelfire would even side with his father if Henry was his son or if it would be a four way battle: Charming/Snow/Emma vs. Regina vs. Rumple vs. Baelfire…with a separate Bae vs. Emma throughout. 😈
AntBee, I guess I feel like Baelfire would have put his father’s story in the book (call it bitterness or a warning to Henry about what his father is capable of since Bae (if he knows about the curse/Storybrooke) doesn’t know it’s to find him/his papa’s messed up form of apology..). Until a possible plot twist next season, I’m with you that the Blue Fairy seemed to have been ‘awaken’ in the last episode.
I do think it’d be an interesting twist if Baelfire has been working behind the scenes (like papa, like son and possible grandson) last season. Again, I’m buying that the BF didn’t have her memory so who else is aware of Rumple’s beginnings: the dagger and a son? No one who could still possibly be alive besides Bae. Really do think Bae is August’s ‘little fairy’! If Baelfire and August did meet up in their travels, trust each other to admit their from EF (or maybe fairytale characters are just drawn to their own?), then Bae could have very well have made the book with August explaining the stories (a kid hanging out in a palace had to have heard most of these tales!) August knew enough about the book to find it and add his story: how did he know about the book in the first place? Or gain the equipment for book-making?
IDK, but it'd be interesting if Henry finds a new story in his book about passing through a green vortex and landing in a world of skyscrapers. 😀Whale could always have been a descendent of the Duke of the Frontlands as well as another, better known character? Monstro seems too obvious, and it feels like some type of hint or scene should have appeared in The Stranger if he was Monstro. I could see him as Prince Eric since Eric wasn’t swayed away from ‘the voice he fell in love with’ by physical beauty – and that’s seems like an opposite for Whale…but,
I’m now pretty much certain that Whale is Gulliver. Gulliver was supposed to head to London to apprentice with a surgeon: abandoned that for med. school in French – abandoned that for adventure…restlessness seems to be a large part of his character. Plus, the famous scene of him on the beach, surrounded by Lilputians, has the imagery of a ‘beached whale’. 😎
Gulliver was the heir of an estate in the countryside: maybe that’s the Duke of the Frontlands’ lands?
I love Downtown Abbey! When does season 3 start?
Although I missed it when it aired (got canceled after one season!) I really love Pushing Daisies! Just the right mix of whimsical and dark, plus is a mesh up of fairytales/detective dramas (fan of Sherlock as well..).Trying to get through Neverland (2011) on Netflix right now. Parts I really like and find intriguing to the story…but others just cause me to walk away. I’ve actually chosen to do chores today instead of watching the last part: probably not the best sales pitch. 😀
I just can’t see Baelfire writing the book: most of the stories included happened centuries after he left – I can’t see how he would know them. Since I believe he did land in a world without magic, the chance of a plot device intervention doesn’t seem likely either. Then again, the only options I can add to the table are the Blue Fairy or Rumple: since neither had their memories at the point of the books creation, that seems just as unlikely. The mystery of Henry’s book and Dr. Whale’s identity better deliver next season, because right now I have no idea.
Hang on, if whoever/whatever made the book left it for Mary Margaret to find, knowing she’d give it to Henry (who was the only person not effected by the curse in storybooke) then this thing must have also known that Henry was the Savior’s son, right? 😮
Still not convinced Rumple’s in the book, but maybe he is as his ‘imp’ character in a couple stories. Perhaps this is why Henry couldn’t place him. Even though I think Henry warned Emma not to make deals with Gold at some point (Price of Gold??), which would have been a dead give away IF Rumple’s dealings were all mentioned!, Gold is probably nicer to Henry then anyone else in Storybrooke. With what Henry knows about Gold: limp, antiques, suits, cane, Scottish, owns the town, and calls most people ‘dearies’, I can kind of see why he hasn’t figured out that THIS GUY was the imp in the jail cell.

I actually ship Emma with herself right now. Girl’s got a lot of baggage she needs to work out. Starting a relationship with all that isn’t ideal, in my opinion.
I was kind of shocked to hear them announce that last season was about Emma learning to be a parent and now we’re going to put her into a romantic relationship. Not only does she have a lot of baggage from past men, but now she is going to be learning how to be a child (of a Prince and Princess) and how to be a full-time parent (along with a war starting and magic being added to the mix).
It seems like a lot to have on your plate and then add a boyfriend and dating! 😯
Since we know he is coming at some point next season, hopefully it won’t be for awhile (looks like he won't pop up for the first few episodes). And when he does, hopefully he's good at battling, traveling through other realms, and curse breaking: those might be the only dating options for Emma next season. Still love the possible family dynamic of Rumple/Charming households being joined..
I don’t know if anyone has brought this up before, but…
It’s always bothered me that Zoso didn’t have eccentric mannerisms or voice as the Dark One: he could easily be passed off as a regular guy. At first watch, I passed this off as Rumple being the Dark One for a longer period of time + guilt = a delightful amount of madness…now, I’m not so sure.
Could Rumple’s voice, behavior, etc. after Baelfire left but pre-curse all have been a ruse to keep people at bay? You’d be less likely to seek out a man with dark powers, but someone who isn’t even human, an ‘imp’, would be even more dangerous. He had centuries to cultivate this image. As the people who remembered who he had been died out, the new story of a demon, beast, imp that terrorized deals could have started. Besides, what is most likely to catch on as a story to pass on to children: this formerly sweet spinner was a coward, became the dark one, killed people, lost his son, continued being bad or an ancient being tricks people into deals/killed people. Take away his humanity, and you have a villain worthy of early oral storytelling.I think he’d even want to get lost in the story, to have people forget about Baelfire and who he was. At the very least, less people would be bothering him and/or trying to get his dagger…
Had a conversation with a stranger tonight about how this is possibly the most awkward love story that was meant to be romantic. After we both sang the words back to each other a few times, it clicked who on ONCE this song has to go with.
…she’ll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she’ll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you’re bleedin’
But she’ll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she’s always a woman to meDedicated to the relationship between Sidney Glass and Regina Mills, may I present to the forum Billy Joel’s She’s Always a Woman. Enjoy!

The above. 😎Even if Jack is a completely new character (not Baelfire), he sounds like someone who – while being kind and everything – could still keep Emma on her toes (and vice versa)…
I could easily root for Emma being with someone like that. Most of my excitement about Emma having a love interest next season doesn’t come from ‘hero finally getting a love interest’. The last episode proved to me that if the entire series Emma’s ‘true love’ was her son I’d be perfectly happy. Knowing that she gets to try a romantic relationship next season excites me because I can’t see Emma in a relationship at all similar to the ones we’ve already seen on the show: be it her parents, Rumple/Belle, Regina/David, Nova/Grumpy, Cinderella/Thomas…etc.
It’s going to be difficult, awkward, and probably have a lot of eye rolling. Can’t wait to meet the guy (whoever he is) that get’s to fall in love/date Emma Swan. He’s going to have to be a special man or just very persistent…. 😆
