Welcome! 😀
Working as a Nanny, important job. Guess getting some inspiration for new variations of fairy tales to tell comes in handy in this job. 😉¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
Yeah, tough to get paid jobs sometimes. 🙄 But so important to get experience and connections. Well, looking forward to your first film. 😎

Welcome to the forums! 😀
Sound engineering – cool! I mean, software engineer or a cardiovascular scientist sounds interesting as well (and an interesting combination of knowledge), and being a parent is quite sure the biggest project in one’s life, but sound engineering is the cool part 😉 And you’re so right about it being more than pushing some buttons.¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
Welcome to the forums! 😀
Hope you made it okay through the blizzard?
And you will let us know when you found Storybrooke, right? Please? There is number for the podcast you can call if, just save it in your mobile phone book under HER, uhm, or maybe THEM 😉¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
Think the giants hid from everyone, kept their existence a secret from everyone, even from the fairies. Don’t think the fairies are all knowing just because the can do magic. Even the Blue Fairy, as old as she might be and as much as she knows, doesn’t know everything.
Some though have the theory, that the Blue Fairy has her own grand scheme running. Not a theory a share, but would fit if, that she kept any knowledge about the giants to herself.
Another question is: Did Rumple learn about it? It sounded like Jack and James attacked the giants with an army, and somehow I can’t imagine, that Rumple didn’t hear of that attack. If he did hear about it, must have nurtured his hate of the fairies.

No one, not even Anton who should know, seemed to be bothered, that it might take a while for the beans to grow, they were only worried about Cora’s plans. What makes me think that the time it will take to grow the beans is not an issue at all.
RumplesGirl and Riddleraven already pointed out, that what we have seen this season speaks against time running differently in the Enchanted Forest or in the land of the Giants. So see two options:
1. If the beans take a century to grow and yield fruit they will have to find some way, magic or science, to speed up the grow of the beans. Another possibility is, that simply the soil of our world works differently on the beans so they grow faster (but doesn’t count that as an extra option). But wouldn’t have anyone at least worried for a second about it, if the beans would grow fast enough for them to use them?
2. It never has taken the beans a century to grow.
Arlo: Today we celebrate. After a century of hard labor the time of the bean harvest has finally arrived.
That is what is said about the beans and time it took till harvest. The wording is open for interpretation. Could mean it took the beans 100 years to grow and yield fruit. But as well it’s possible, that it took the giants 99 years to prepare the land before they could plant the beans. They obviously had contacts with humans before and traded beans with them, so it was quite sure not the first harvest ever. What made me wonder a little, if eventually the attack by Jack and James was not the first attack on the giants and not the first time they destroyed the beanstalks and burned the land they grow on, so they had to rebuild. Mentioning, that it took them a century of hard labor before this harvest was maybe just to emphasize how dedicated they are to their work.
It’s a simple explanation, no fiddling with time or magic necessary. 😉 Of course possible, the writers made a mistake.

I think she just wants ALL the powers from ALL the lands. They made a point of establishing that the humans had used the giant’s beans to plunder other lands, which I think is basically what Cora wants to do. I think that her lust for power is so overwhelming, that the only way to stop her will be to kill her. I’d like to see Regina do that, because it’d be a nice little parallel to how she killed her father. Back then, she killed a parent to doom everyone. Now, she’ll have to kill a parent to save everyone.
Pretty much agree with you, why Cora wants the beans. They offer power. We don’t know how much the magical lands have been affected by the Dark Curse, if all have been pretty much devasted as much as the Enchanted Forest, or not. There might be not much left to conquer, but the lands had magic, still seem to have some magic, and that is interesting enough for anyone able to use magic who is seeking power and control. Not to mention Cora can count on people wanting to go home, so imagine what power it would give her, if she could offer a way back home.
