Ginny is so stinking adorable! How was she walking in those shoes when she’s 8 months pregnant though?!
Love the lost wedding contract story.
[adrotate group="5"]Theory from tumblr…
OUAT THEORY – Dorothy is Queen Eva/Snow’s Mom
Okay so here’s my latest theory. I think Dorothy might be Eva. And here’s my reasoning, based on this spoiler pic:1. This little girl in gingham looks a LOT like Eva. She’s got long, silky dark hair, pale skin, and her posture is incredibly straight, which has been true of both actors who played Eva.
2. This little girl is almost definitely Dorothy, based on the gingham dress and the whole hanging with Oz witches thing.
3. Obviously something kind of wacky has to be going on for a grown-up Zelena to be seeing a child version of Eva. Could this be time travel? Zelena is dressed nice in fairytale clothes but her skin isn’t green, which seems to suggest some jumping around. Perhaps this scene takes place when she jumps back in time to go kill a young Eva.
4. Eva has to remain relevant to the plot, because Zelena’s goal is apparently to KILL EVA, not erase Regina, but kill Eva before she rats on Cora. Making a young Eva Dorothy keeps her tied up with the Oz plot.
5. In the original story, especially played up in the popular movie, the Wicked Witch is after Dorothy, her arch-nemesis. Who is the Wicked Witch after in this story? Young Eva.
6. This last point is a stretch, but could be a cool little bonus Easter Egg thing. Queen Eva was buried in a pair of ruby slippers. In the OUAT version, they went with the original silver slippers, but the ruby slippers could still be a clever bit of foreshadowing for Eva being Dorothy:
Dunno if I believe that a young Princess would be wearing that dress, but on the other hand, the bit about how the WW wanted to kill Dorothy and Zelena wants to kill Eva, certainly has some merit.
He really is one of the most psychologically realistic characters the show has produced….and tossing aside his story like they did offends me to my core.
Firstly, I’m so sorry about the loss of your father, I can’t imagine how hard that must be to deal with. I think a lot of people identify with Neal on a very real level. Yeah he’s hopped realms and his life has involved being around magic, but at the core of it all, his struggle is that of a regular guy with family problems, who has just tried to do the right thing by others, and life kept kicking him down, but he kept his good heart despite all of his trials. And when we see a character we identify with basically being told, “Nope, no hope for you, doesn’t matter about your good heart, your reward is a contrived death and then to be swiftly forgotten about, because you and your strength and struggle don’t matter,” people who identify with him take THAT to heart as well. It’s not just people feeling like Neal Cassidy the fictional character has been tossed aside, it’s people feeling like they’re worthy of nothing more than being tossed aside as well. I really believe that that’s a major contributing factor to the outrage over this turn that the story has taken. And if that’s a message that A&E believe in to the point where they thought it would be a valuable story to portray on their show, then is it any wonder that people who feel offended by it are now pissed off at them?
DSB, that map is fabulous! LOL
enchantedfan, glad your mum is OK!
The idea that Neal cast the Curse makes zero sense, because he had noone/thing to sacrifice to even be able to do it. The wording of that article fueled my suspicions that it was Hook.
I think the article was referring to Marian. Possibly Abigail, but her return has been stated publicly now. Unless you’re up on secret BTS pics, noone knows about Marian yet, and with OQ taking off now, a Marian return would warrant a mention in an article.
PS. I too don’t get the point of apologising to CSers in this thread. If they’re gonna come in here, they know the opinions they’re gonna be seeing and that they may not like it.
1. Zelena turns wicked green
2. Returns to Oz and takes over
3. Meets Glinda
4. Glinda enrolls her in green rehab
5. Zelena confronts the issues with Regina
6. Dorothy brings back the jealously that Zelena had with ReginaThen it causes her to go on a rampage and turn green again.
Gotta be something along those lines. Glinda collared her with that necklace to change the nature of her powers/attitude and then Glinda’s plan went to hell somehow and Zelena got re-corrupted
OK, based on my thinking that it’ll be a boy, named after Charming’s father, who I hope has an Arthurian connection, I’ve decided to nominate Tristan for the name. Since Charming said no to Leopold, I was looking through a list of Arthurian characters, to see which of the Knights’ names sounded the most normal. 😛 Not only does Tristan sound like it could be a modern name, but his mother’s name was Blanchefleur, which made me think Blanchard.
(Plus it would allow for a cool backstory if Ruth was really Isolde. In some versions of the Tristan and Isolde legend, they run off together and have kids. And they get together due to a love potion, which sounds like a stunt Rumple might pull to get them together if he’s foreseen that he’ll need their sons.)
So I’m taking a stab and betting my cookies on Tristan.
This, to me, is the single biggest piece of evidence that Neal’s death was NOT planned from the start. You don’t have a character promise to break the cycle of abandonment and then “it doesn’t matter that I never see Henry before I die…”
It’s things like this that make me think he’ll be back, (even before seeing this gif just now, I was already in one of my “no doubt about it he’ll absolutely be back” moods that hit me randomly from time to time), because it’s just FAR TOO contradictory to the current situation. If they wanted to 100% kill Neal for forever, they could have written it differently so it didn’t completely contradict things that happened only a handful of eps beforehand.
If Zelena summoned up the twister, then how did The Wizard and Dorothy get to Oz. The wizard is older than Zelena (when she was a newborn, he was already ruler of Oz) and Dorothy could have been brought to Oz by Zelena’s magic but… Idk. Even if Baby Zelena summoned the tornado, that still leaves the question of the wizard >>
Hmmm. Did her parents actually mention the Wizard after they picked up the baby? *rewatching* They only mention going to the Emerald City, not going to see the Wizard. Walsh was obviously set up there by the time Zelena went to see him, but we don’t know that he was there already when she was a baby. It’s possible that she caused a twister at some point in her life that inadvertently brought Walsh to Oz?
