2. There is no daddy. It’s the egg Charming stuffed inside Dragon! Mal
Well yes and no. We saw Emma take the egg out of Maleficent in the Season 1 finale. I do think Lily’s conception was still a side effect of the true love potion being inside Mal, though.
[adrotate group="5"]In regards to Hook and Ursula, I found this amusing:
They were sitting together in an episode of House of Mouse!

Granted, this is likely from whatever episode Mark Isham is currently scoring, which is probably around 416, by my estimate.
I’ve seen a similar idea before in a web series I follow. The show broke the 4th wall by introducing the character to the writer/creator. The writer explains that initially that character started out as just a character, but they had eventually evolved. An appropriate quote from said web series: “You literally leapt off the page and taken on a life of your own. It became less of me writing you what to do, and you telling me what to write.” I guess the best in real analogy I can make is between a parent and a child. It was the parents who brought their child into the world, and they had their own expectations on how they would grow up and live their life. Slowly but surely, the child would become more and more independent as they grew older. While the child became more independent, the parent would of course still be there for support and guidance. Don’t authors consider their characters their children? Maybe their characters don’t literally become real people, but writing these characters makes the process more organic the more they spend writing them. The character now exists in their head, and there’s that little voice whispering to them where to take them next. In turn, they’ll make writing choices for that character that they didn’t initially think of back when originally creating that character.
I actually find it fascinating for the show to explore the question “What if there really is a writer/god like figure who’s responsible for everything that happens?” It’s not like we don’t see that in real life too, where people will question if there is a higher power out there, and how much control they really have over their lives. Can you really blame Regina for her curiosity, when the book exists and all of their lives already exist as a piece of fiction in our world? Especially when Regina had come so far in Season 3, and her happy ending was THIS close to happening, only for yet another roadblock to occur. However, I feel the whole moral of Season 4B will end up being that there’s only so much the author can do, and that in the end happy endings are up to each individual’s actions. I see the author giving them a few pointers, when they do find him/her, but it will still ultimately be up to each person to work towards their own happy endings. In short, you and only you are ultimately responsible for your own destiny. To quote Albus Dumbledore, “it is our choices…that show what we truly are.”

Some of the teaser quotes Hypable posted made me laugh:
“If that old bag still wolfed out I would make her into a coat for my collection.”
Cruella talking about Granny?
“You wore leather, you rode a motorcycle, and you didn’t shave!”
Obviously Emma talking to Pinocchio about when he was August.
“I should’ve known fish sticks and pound puppy are here for more than just a second chance.”
Definitely sounds like a snarky Regina line.
More teasers:
I’ve been reading through past threads today (home sick with a bad cold and a great way to pass the time) and your post connected with something I’ve been kicking around for a while. I could be wrong but I don’t think Cora is dead, as in really, really dead…forever dead. A magic candle was used to “kill” her…but the candle used to “kill” her was her own magic. When Rumple used the cuffs on Peter Pan they did not work because they were Peter’s own magic. If Cora is alive she may be in a different form…who knows…there are so many possibilities. I would love for this to be true because there is so much more that could be explored with Cora. She is a villain who gets under my skin.
We saw Cora’s ghost in “Bleeding Through” though, via a spell Regina used that’s specifically intended to contact the dead.
They’re on record for saying the theme they want to explore this Season is how the traditional black and white view of heroes and villains is skewed. As others have said, I do wonder how bad Snow and Charming’s secret really is. It’s apparently so big that they’ve been so busy hyping it up, and only select journalists (the ones who attended the in person screening in Burbank) got to see both 412 and 413 ahead of time. That’s why we’ve gotten less teasers from the pre-premiere screenings than we normally would have gotten. Seems to me that they really don’t want to risk this big Snowing secret somehow leaking.
#OnceUponATime rose to a 3.0 A18-49 and 8.7M viewers in L+3
