    Okay, runaway idea(s)… Perhaps in addition to Regina/Mal backstory in “Enter The Dragon”, we get more information about “the dragon” character that Tamara took out in Hong Kong…and perhaps some tie to the “Home Office” she was working for at the time…which could tie into Lily’s role (if she’s Tigerlily)…? Or, maybe I’d better stop before I make myself dizzy.

     

    These were my thoughts as well. We really need to see more of The Dragon from that episode. I really hate it when they throw in some random plot devicey character and never flesh them out.

    I would like to see a link between this dragon and Maleficient.

    To reference the bible, perhaps when the dragon swept  his tail, Lily was one of the stars that was knocked from its position and fell to the earth.

    Maybe there is a connection between Lily (the mother of all demons) and Cruella DEVIL?

    I am not sure she is related to anyone on the show, or that her other identity is that of another Disney character, I just think she is a fallen star or angel, and a new character unrelated to fairy tales, myths, legends or novels. She might be biblical, but that’s about it.

    Perhaps she was inside the hat and was released? Perhaps she was placed inside the hat many eons ago to keep the original dark magic at bay, and that for some reason she was reborn as a younger self when she came out, or was trapped at a young age and subsequently lost her memories as to her origins?

    Is there a way to rewrite the story book so that deaths can be reversed?
    HOROWITZ: Can’t say.

    The answer to this should be ”no”. ”Can’t say” implies that they are at least considering it.

    Should the fans still have hope for RumBelle’s happy ending?
    KITSIS: Yes, they should have help because this is a show about hope. The minute you lose hope, then nothing will happen.

    I hope they don’t mess up putting them together. Sorry Rumbelle fans, but with the current storyline as it is, they should be kept apart.

    Will we ever see Rumple’s trip to Camelot?
    HOROWITZ: Can’t say.

    I want to see Camelot, though!

    Will Regina (Lana Parrilla) find out that the Knave (Michael Socha) knew her mother?
    HOROWITZ: Maybe.

    I really do hope so. There needs to be more character moments on this show, even if they don’t serve the plot. They just need to serve the characters.

    Will we get the story of Will Scarlet’s sister?
    KITSIS: We did get it in Wonderland.
    HOROWITZ: We’ll get more of Will Scarlett’s story.
    KITSIS: We’re really excited about the second half because we’re going to see much more Will.

    I am glad to hear that we we will finally get his story, though I would have liked his sister’s story fleshed out more. If it wasn’t for Frozen, they could have linked it with the SQ. Another lost opportunity.

    Will Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) get a flashback episode?
    HOROWITZ: Oh, absolutely.

    He needs more than one, as there is so much to explain and explore. Did he come from landed gentry originally? Was his king Richard the Lionheart hence the tattoo? If not, what does the tattoo mean? Marian’s family had several horses-was she from landed gentry originally? Why is there a disconnect between what Robin thought had happened to Marian and what really happened? Is he connected to the golden bird story that features on many of the pages in the Book? etc.

    Will Regina ever return the hearts that are in her vault?
    KITSIS: Boy, I don’t know. If they’re still around.

    On a different website, I have been repeating over and over that this is what I want to see as a part of Regina’s redemption: her giving back the hearts to people who are still alive, and if they are not still alive, giving the hearts to their descendents. The writers really need to address this issue; I don’t like their reply to this one.

    Will Hook seek revenge on Rumple?
    KITSIS: Oh, yes.

    I never liked Hook, I always thought he was wrong for Emma right from his introduction in Season 2. However, the writers have shown some amount of character growth, and it would be a shame for him to backslide. If he does, I hope Emma finds out and decides to break up with him for good.

    Does Hook have a past with Ursula (Merrin Dungey)?
    KITSIS: Can’t say.

    This is dumb. They should have a past.

     Will we see King Triton’s kingdom?
    HOROWITZ: Maybe.

    I hope the budget allows for it.

    Will we ever find out the identity of the Black Fairy?
    HOROWITZ: Maybe.
    KITSIS: Someday we will.

    Two very different answers. Which one to believe?

    Will the Snow Queen’s (Elizabeth Mitchell) curse on the town line be broken?
    HOROWITZ: In the near term, it will be a big problem.
    KITSIS: But we have seen that you can find Storybrooke if you have the right utensils.

    We have? What utensils were they? Someone remind me.

    Any chance the Frozen sisters will ever return?
    HOROWITZ: Never say never.

    Please, don’t.

    Is Henry (Jared Gilmore) going to learn any magic?
    KITSIS: Is he going to learn magic? No. But does he believe in magic? Yes.

    This is dumb and a waste of an opportunity. Given his lineage, he should have magic of his own other than  the heart of the truest believer, should he not?

    Should we expect another pregnancy on the show after Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Aurora (Sarah Bolger)?
    HOROWITZ: Can’t say.
    KITSIS: I mean, at some point, someone is going to get knocked up. That’s just the way life works.

    I will take this as a ‘maybe’. Two very different answers again. Do these two ever communicate? Explains the many plot holes and not following their own rules.

    Ursula-changing into and/or controlling creatures of the sea (signature magic)

    Maleficent-changing into and/or controlling creatures of the air (signature magic)

    Cruella-changing into and/or controlling creatures of the land???? (Signature magic).

    maybe Cruella is nothing special on her own, but when the three of them are together, they can enact a Super Spell (or something?)

     

    Regina can turn herself into rats, but perhaps it is not her signature spell (whereas fireballs might be).

     

    Perhaps Regina was originally part of the trio, but because metamorphasis was  not her signature spell, and because ursula didnt trust her after Regina impersonated her, Regina left the trio (or was kicked out) and Cruella was her replacement?

    Wish list for 4B

    -Filling in the plot holes from the previous  season and a half (a pipe dream, I know).

    -More focus on the core characters.

    -Finding the author, if he/she/it exists. (Merlin?).

    -Finding out more about the hat: Who else is in there? Is there another world or universe in there?

    -Finding out more about Lily and that star on her wrist.

    -Finding out more about Robin’s back story: Did he come from landed gentry? Was his king Richard the Lionheart, hence the tattoo? Did he really ”steal” Marian? Why is Robin’s perception of what happened to Marian and what really happened so different? Did Marian tell him that Regina was going to execute her in the past and what was his reaction? etc.

    -Finding out what happened to Will and Anastasia

    -An explanation as to why the fairies only get involved to help at the last minute.

    -More light magic from Regina, pretty pretty please!

     

    I am not really interested in these three new antagonists, tbh. I would like to see Maleficient and Regina argue things out and make peace by Regina promising her her HE. That’s about it, really.

    Elinor, you are not the only one.

    Previously I had said that I didn’t think Regina is pregnant.

    But why the 6 weeks between Rumple being forced over the town line and him finding Ursula? Why did the show jump 6 weeks forward in time?  Is it so either Emma or Regina can be absolutely sure they are in the early stages of pregnancy? I have been thinking about this for a while, ever since I watched the ep.The writers don’t move the plot forward in time arbitrarily, there must be a reason.

     

    Then again, over the counter pee-on-a-stick test can tell you that within 2-3 weeks of conception…

     

    Hmm…

    Does anyone have any alternative theories as to why Once moved forwards in time by 6 weeks?

    I really do hope we get more of Robin’s back story. We need to find out why Robin’s impression of what happened to Marian and what really happened are two different things. And we just need to find out more about him in general, like how he got his tattoo, his relationship with the Sheriff of Nottingham, whether he really did ”steal” Marian, if he came from landed gentry originally, if his king is Richard the Lionheart and so on.

    If the golden bird is a lost story, and Regina and Robin’s story was also lost (due to Regina’s ”choice”) then maybe there is an author afterall (it;s not just Regina’s and others’ imagination), an author who is picking and choosing the characters and their stories.

     

    Thing is though, the presence of the cages in Rumple’s shop suggests that the Golden Bird story happened, making it not a ”lost” story after all.

     

    Confusing but intriguing….!

    I have no idea what her super power could be outside of shape shifting. Controlling animals and their movements? Seeing through their eyes to spy on people as well? Though I can imagine the other two can do that anyway, too. hmm

     

    As for the alien suggestion,  I think we can say all of the fairy tale characters that are in our world are aliens. They are not from our world, after all. Perhaps Cruella is from another world other than FTL, making her an alien in FTL.
