They were the ones who staged the phony anti-magic movement and served as the go-betweens to GOAT and the Lost Boys (the Lost Boys contact John and Michael with instructions, then John and Michael relay those instructions to GOAT and any other members their sham of an organization may possess, claiming they come from “the Home Office”.)
Where on earth did you see that? Because it wasn’t explained on the show…
I think its implied very heavily. Its the ONLY explanation >> GOAT had clearly never been to NL before, they didn’t know any of the Lost Boys and knew nothing about Pan. Yet they still communicated in apparently a non-magical way with The Home Office. The only people connected to the Home Office in our land would be the Bros. Darling and they knew all about what was going on. So yeah, I think its safe to assume they were the mediators. There are still some issues with THO plot though… What were Greg/Tamara doing before the Henry situation? Why did Pan have Tamara go after the potion thing and kill the dragon? For them to be convinced they were working to destroy magic, they must have had results. Heck, Tamara even said that to Regina (that magic had spilled over and caused havoc before, etc) so I’m still a bit confused about the home office in some aspects
I assumed all of those other orders were simply a way to continue their charade. Pan was just looking for them to find any trace of magic so they could eventually find Storybrooke and locate Henry. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were originally more in depth plans for the Home Office, but Greg and Tamara’s hatred within the fandom, along with Sonequa Martin-Green getting promoted to a regular on The Walking Dead, convinced the writers to quickly kill them off.
[adrotate group="5"]It’s a shame the original purpose of Hollywood Studios (formerly Disney-MGM Studios) is no longer there. Back when it originally opened it was a real functioning studio. TV shows, live action films, and even several Disney animated films used to be produced right there. Back in the 90s, Disney and Nickelodeon (via their Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida) had a little Florida Hollywood going on. For whatever reason, interest diminished over time and both Disney and Nickelodeon abandoned that. Now Disney Hollywood Studios is really just a Studio in name only, while it’s going through a bit of an identity crisis.
Erm….unexpected title is unexpected. Am I the only one who thought Alice and Wonderland first? “Curious and curiouser” Maybe it’s about the slippers? They could be “curious items”
There is this quote from the book about the slippers/silver shoes:
“The Silver Shoes,” said the Good Witch, “have wonderful powers. And one of the most curious things about them is that they can carry you to any place in the world in three steps, and each step will be made in the wink of an eye. All you have to do is to knock the heels together three times and command the shoes to carry you wherever you wish to go.”
I hate titles like this. Usually the titles are so obvious in its meaning, but this could really mean anything. Adam and Eddie wrote it though, so it’s a biggie.
It feels like this title was them trolling at all of the fans who heavily speculate over everything, like ourselves. Anyway, my honest guess is that this will be Glinda’s introduction, since we recently learned she was being cast.
@MatthewPaul just made a good point in chat but this isn’t the official full synopsis, a full one has to include credits. In others words: we’ll get another one (more detailed..) eventually. Chin up, folks. 26 days.
The full press release would be posted on ABCMedianet too, which so far it has not. Judging by their patterns, though, we’ll get a press release next week or the week after.
Thanks for your input. My next idea might be a bit controversial since it involves the removal of the sorcerer’s hat as the icon. However the hat was only supposed to be a temporary icon because Disney lost the rights to use the Chinese theatre. My idea was to create a Disney’s Hollywood Studios theatre. I was thinking the outside might look sort of like a white tuxedo with the Hollywood Studios sign that is currently there being mounted on the building in place of the bow tie. Then on the outside in two little courtyard areas on the right and left they could put Minnie and Mickey’s car from the motorcade parade they had at one point with statues of the two stars. While on the other side they could put the statue of the man with a video camera and maybe a statue of walt behind him giving directions, or posed that way. On the inside of course on the left you would have the entrance and queue line for GMR. On the right hand side there would be a Gone with the Wind style staircase that would lead upstairs to a second level where there would be a revamped version of Hollywood and Vine all about Hollywood glitz and glamour. I kind of want it to be Jessica Rabbit for a character dining thing there but I don’t know if they would do that. They could have black and white photos of her, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn… There would also be a gold elevator for handicap access. On the third floor there would be a lounge bar area where adults could come and relax with lots of electrical outlets for charging one’s electronic devices. This would take the place of the Tune-In Lounge.
The Sorcerer Mickey hat has always been an eyesore, in my opinion, and it was originally added for the 100 Years of Magic celebration, which celebrated Walt Disney’s hypothetical 100th birthday. If they can’t regain the rights to use the Chinese Theatre, I think they could just redesign the exterior based on the El Capitan Theatre. The El Capitan is actually owned by Disney outright, and it is also on Hollywood Boulevard.

Yeah that one was…special. lol
As if Robbie Kay didn’t make Pan creepy enough….
One of the biggest faults I would change is the way the show handles its recurring characters. I get that they can’t make everybody a regular and that they have to keep the focus on the main cast, but I’ve still seen it handled better on so many other shows. I’m sick of characters only appearing for a few episodes, and then disappearing. The recurring characters should be further developed with a well thought out arc. What frustrates me even more is when recurring characters still have loose ends, but those loose ends have yet to be addressed on the show. This happened with Phillip, who we have yet to see how exactly Mulan and Aurora saved him. Then there are characters who have their storylines rushed too quickly. This happened with the Ariel and Eric reunion in “The New Neverland”, which literally only lasted like 1 minute and then they were swept under the rug for the rest of the episode. We also have issues where it feels like the recurring characters are just there to be plot devices. Jefferson suffered this fate in the last two episodes of Season 1. Jefferson was only there so Regina could get her apple and so Jefferson could free Belle. The Belle thing still feels like a huge plot hole, because it just felt too out of place that Jefferson knew about Belle’s relationship with Rumple and being locked in the asylum. Eddy and Adam addressed this on the official podcast that Jefferson knew because he spied on the town, but it still feels like a stretch.
It’s too blurry to tell who it is. It could also easily be an extra wandering around the set. I’ve seen extras in Granny’s diner scenes plenty of times.
