unless it’s going to turn out that Will had some sort of memory wipe happen to him hence why he doesn’t seem to remember Ana.
I think it’s clear that Will still does remember Anastasia, given how he ripped out a page with her on from the “Through the Looking Glass” book. Plus, Robin asks him where Anastasia is now, and he replies “Sometimes when you win, you lose.”
[adrotate group="5"]I really think Emma Rigby’s availability was a factor as to why they’re still waiting to tell the story of what happened to her. This Season being crowded as is was the main factor of course, based on their answer.
Based on what Isaac said in Cruella’s centric, these realms are literally realms of STORY. To me that suggests that these realms could have literally been written into existence. So based on this theory, whoever wrote the Enchanted Forest as a realm did so using knowledge of Medieval culture, including religious influences. This would also explain A Land Without Color, Frankenstein’s realm. Victor and his family were shown celebrating Christmas, and Victor even uses the expression “cross to bear.” Also, Victor’s commission letter refers to Austria (obviously a fictional version of it). We are supposed to be getting more in depth on the job of the Author in the finale, so maybe we’ll get some clarifications then.
Ok, this is a bit of a rant that I want to get off my chest. I feel the biggest issue with the way the show handles its core relationships is that there is so much “angst, angst, angst”, with not enough room to breathe. I know Jane Espenson in particular has made her opinion known that she doesn’t like the relationships to be calm and peaceful, because then where is the conflict to move the story forward? There are ways to have conflict on this show without constantly being on and off with the relationship angst.
Rumbelle is no doubt be the biggest victim of angst, with Rumple and Belle always being separated in short bursts of time. Rumple kicks Belle out, Rumple thinks Belle is dead, Rumple find Belle again, Belle threatens to leave him twice in a row, Belle loses her memories, Belle becomes Lacey and shortly diverts from Rumple again, Lacey ends up sticking around with Rumple because she likes his darkness, Belle gets her memories back, Belle is left behind when everyone else goes to Neverland, Rumple dies, Rumple comes back and is enslaved by Zelena, Rumple lies to Belle about the dagger and kills Zelena, Rumple’s lies build up to the point where Belle finally finds out about what he’s done and kicks him out of Storybrooke, Belle ends up dating Will, and now Rumple admits that his heart is blackening to the point that he’ll soon no longer be able to love.
OutlawQueen actually started out pretty angst free, once Regina decided to pursue Robin. They were so free of angst for most of 3B to the point that some fans felt the relationship was rushed and that they weren’t going through any obstacles. Guess they would regret wanting to see OutlawQueen going through obstacles once said obstacles started to occur. In fact, I know plenty who were initially planning to support the relationship, but things soured too much for them once it turned out that Regina killed Marian in the original timeline, and that Marian had returned. I actually thought making Marian Zelena would be their way out of this mess, but they actually had to make things ever worse with the whole Zelena pregnancy thing. I feel the main reason for the pregnancy is just so Regina will still want to change the book. After all, had OutlawQueen actually reunited without any further obstacles, then Regina would already have her happy ending.
I think all the couples will be fine eventually. I do however think that the couple people should be most worried about in the immediate future is CaptainSwan. All the Once couples so far, excluding CS, have had to deal with the crap thrown at them by the writers (for OQ, that crap comes bearing the name Zelena), CS is the only couple that haven’t had to go through major trials in their relationship so far, so it makes sense that it’s their turn now.
Hah, I’m sure CaptainSwaners would argue that just getting together in the first place was the couple’s main obstacle. Though that doesn’t mean they won’t face more in the future.
After so many years of Sneak Fairy theories not coming to pass, I really just don’t see it ever happening.
I wonder if there’s misdirection in these publicly-filmed scenes, to keep the big surprise secret like with “Who shot JR?” on Dallas. That’s a lot of film crew workers to pay, even for a few extra minutes, but it was April 1st.
That’s been suggested for so many plot points that have been spoiled by fan set reports and photos, and it has yet to happen.
@Slurpeez, here are the sources for the spoilers I mentioned:
Set report: http://jordynmoka.tumblr.com/post/115359647014/april-1st-once-upon-a-time-shooting
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrMu9loi_5oThat’s curious. I hadn’t heard that is what Emma said. But her saying that and the stabbing herself with the dagger suggests to me like she is voluntarily adding her own name to the dagger. Why else would Emma say that and then stab herself? Also, if Rumple’s name has already been erased, implying he’s already dead or mortal again due to TLK, then shouldn’t the dark one curse already be lifted? I thought if the dark one died by some means other than being killed by the dagger (e.g. poison in ALWM) that the magic would just evaporate and the dark one curse would cease to be passed on anymore. That was why Cora was in such a hurry to stab Rumple with the dagger, because she coveted the dark one curse for herself and she didn’t want that magic to be lost for good. Why does the dagger “always needs a name” if the dark magic has evaporated? It may be because magic can neither be created nor lost (a S4 rule), but that would seemingly contradict what Cora said in S2 about the dark one magic evaporating into thin air.
I don’t think she stabbed herself. From what I saw of the set video, she just raises the dagger in the air and then disappears. As for Cora, she was probably just theorizing what would happen.
