You know, I love this idea of doublespeak — if nothing else, it has these delightfully Orwellian overtones, and imagining OUAT as a dissident text written in such a way that the Ministry of Truth censors couldn’t pick up on the subtext is sort of wonderful. Or ambiguously like Shakespearean play — is Hamlet really crazy or faking it, that sort of thing. But I guess I’m just too much of a cynic — I think the doublespeak has more to do with the fact that the right hand doesn’t know what the left one is doing. In other words, I think different writers are doing different things, and aren’t necessarily writing “in unison” and with one message in mind. I guess one can look it up, but I wonder about the contradictions: like Henry one day saying he doesn’t like Hook, and on another episode helping him find a house for Emma and him. Is this written by the same writers? I think it’s this sort of “jerking” characters back and forth that I find most problematic and troubling.
The thing is, if this is really the case, then it’s still on Adam and Eddy. Adam and Eddy have final script approval, so if they see any problems with the way their writers are writing their characters, then they should step in and tell them “no, you can’t do this. This isn’t how we want to portray the characters. Fix it.”
[adrotate group="5"]Any guesses as to who the stranger (who appears to be a young woman)?
Either she’s an ordinary woman from the Land Without Magic, or she is yet ANOTHER character Emma met who originated from Fairy Tale Land or some other realm. Considering this show’s track record with figures from Emma’s past, I’d go with the latter. August, Merlin, Neal, Lily, and Ingrid. Walsh too, if you include Emma’s time in New York during the missing year. Chances are, she’ll encounter this person again in the Underworld, too.
On the plane. Excited to celebrate with cast and crew in Storybrooke on Saturday! #OnceTurns100 #OnceUponATime

Seeing the latest set photos, I’m willing to bet that the title is referring to the jacket, and that there will be a flashback showing the origins of how Emma got said jacket. The strange new character here appears to be wearing it, and it looks like Emma is donning her “Tallahassee” era glasses. Maybe the new character Emma meets here goes by the nickname “Firebird” because she wears that jacket or Emma creates the nickname for the jacket herself.
Is that Cora? I know they said Emilie would be filming tonight but it doesn’t look like Belle.
I think it might be somebody new, and I think they might even be wearing Emma’s jacket…
