You don’t die for good from a sleeping curse, though. Henry flat lining was the sleeping curse taking full effect. That’s how I took it at least. So yes he was in a state of death, but he was essentially in limbo
[adrotate group="5"]If Aladdin is end up happening post-curse I just thought of a new idea. In a twist of fate, what if Jafar was Aladdin’s genie? Kinda seems like a twist they would do.
Well I don’t think it’s a good idea either. But I disagree with Ana being an exception, not a norm. There is a reason why it is becoming a joke for people who watch ONCE–because it keeps happening.
Henry (TLK from Emma);
Daniel (new heart from Frankenstein)
Blue Fairy (throw a coconut into a fire);
Rumple (dark magic at the vault of eternal goo);
Ana, the first time (break the laws of magic);
Ana, the second time (freely given water from the Well of Wonders as thanks for returning Amara’s waters and because it wasn’t Ana’s time to go).
Now there are about an equal number or slightly higher number of people who have died and stayed dead (if we don’t count soldiers in battle) : Graham, Cora, Gus, GOAT (though Greg is open to interpretation with Adam’s interview comments), Pan, Neal.
But that doesn’t change the fact that they keep breaking their own rules when dead is supposed to be dead, except in the case of breaking the laws of magic
I would argue that Henry, Blue Fairy, and Rumple were near-death experiences. Henry was under a sleeping curse, Blue just had her shadow ripped, and with Rumple it was established that the only way he could really be killed was if someone else stabbed him with the dagger. Rumple sacrificed himself, with nobody to pass on his dark one curse too. Therefore, I feel that’s why his essence was transported to the vault. Daniel being resurrected was to show how wrong it is to do so, hence why he wasn’t acting like himself. Ana, though, I completely agree was breaking the rule.
It’s also not uncommon to recycle previous props and redress them as something else, in regards to Phee’s post. It’s an efficient way of saving time and money.
I actually suspected that maybe Cora had Will kill the Red King using his heart. That would also explain his wanted poster.

Some of us were just discussing this in the chat, but I was thinking Aladdin and Jasmine’s story could end up taking place during the Post-Curse timeline. Perhaps Jafar’s new goal is to rule Agrabah as the “rightful heir to the throne.”
I don’t think using the Well of Wonders plot device as a loophole for reviving Neal or any other dead characters on the parent show is a good idea. Anastasia was an exception, not the norm, and even then it comes off as “way to break the dead is dead rule.” Not to mention it wouldn’t make sense or be fair to randomly bring a concept that one needs to watch WL to understand over to the parent show. Hypothetically, had the laws of magic remained broken, Once viewers would need to watch WL to understand how that happened and they’ve stated before that they want the two shows to remain their own things. And once you break those rules for good, that throws away so much of the stakes right out of the window. “Oh we don’t need to worry about a character dying now. They can just be resurrected.” Yes death for characters can be tough to deal with, but it is a very natural risk these characters have to face. You take away much of the danger if you offer all of these ways for character resurrection. It is also messing with fate, which was something Nyx brought up. Nyx stated that Amara’s time was up and she wasn’t supposed to remain alive. Neal’s death was a price for bringing back Rumple, and therefore Nyx would likely argue that his fate has been sealed. You need to have deaths that stick for a variety of reasons.
I shared this theory in the chatroom, but I think somehow Zelena changes the past so that Regina was never born. In the sneak peek for episode 31, Zelena says her problem with Regina was that she “was born.” I think Zelena wants the life she feels she was robbed of.
If Regina were never born then Henry wouldn’t have been born either.
Rumple needed Regina to cast the dark curse. If Regina hadn’t been born, she never would’ve cast the dark curse, Emma would’ve grown up in the EF. Emma never would’ve met Neal and therefore never would’ve conceived Henry.Exactly. A lot of things that would be interesting to see. A What-If scenario, if you will.
Will we meet Zelena’s father?
Kitsis: Absolutely. In fact, you will meet Zelena’s father and find out the answer to who the Wizard is this weekend.Does this mean that Zelena’s father isn’t Leopold as we feared? Now I suspect it’s the Woodsman.
