I’m trying to think when/if we’ve seen gold magic elsewhere, and I’m not sure if we have.
I’m wanting to say that when Robin used the fairy wand, I think it glowed gold?
I did love that the magic that came about when Belle was doing stuff that had been set up by Rumple, that it was gold of all colours.
I’ve always got the TinkerMomma theory tucked away in the back of my mind, even if I’m not fully subscribed to it, but I just can’t fully let it go either. As things stand right now, with Belle’s known parentage being 100% genetically mortal, I’m inclined to say that she isn’t especially magical herself.
[adrotate group="5"]I am starting to notice hints of fanservice here and there. Emma and Regina’s “our son” and Emma lightening the candle in 307 using the magic Regina taught her (which according to Tumblr is in every SQ fan fic EVER) and then in 308 them using their magic together to move the freaking moon feels like they are trying to reach out to one side of their fandom. Not saying SF OR CS are fanservice but I do wonder if A and E are still writing for themselves or now writing with their internet community placed more toward the front of their minds than normal.
I think stuff like Emma and Regina doing magic together fits perfectly in the story. They are both powerfully magical women, one dark, one light, who are also both Henry’s mothers, so having them join forces makes sense. SQ shippers can read into the “making magic together” stuff very easily, and if it gets them excited about the show then that’s great, but it still works on a non-romantic-SQ level as well, just as a plot point. Fire making lessons might be in every SQ fanfic ever, but that’s probably because Kitswitz decided to make fireballs Regina’s thing. Also, creating fire is a basic, elemental magic kinda thing, so it’d make sense for that to be Emma’s first magic lesson, both in fanfic, and in the actual show. Right after Regina got her SB magic back, she was testing it out by trying to light a candle, so I think it’s just a standard trick for beginners. So what I’m saying is, I’m sure they always intended to have Emma and Regina come together to use their magic, but the way the fandom has developed has just added another layer of interpretation to it, because that’s what fandom does.
@MsKt86 – Is there anyway you could make a video with the song At Arms’ Length by Plumb from the vantage point of Emma? The lyrics have SF written all over them!
That is a wonderful song and its perfect for SF. I was picturing the scenes in my head as I was listening to it. I’m working on a Neal Cassidy video right now, but I’ll see what I can do
If you want a couple other song options to keep in mind for potential future vid use, I was listening to Resolution by Matt Corby last night and getting some SF feels. Also, Last Day On Earth by Kate Miller-Heidke, (fair warning, anyone who has ever lost anyone in any capacity will totally cry over that song).
I mean If they didn’t want Emma and Neal together I see no point of having Neal proclaiming his enduring love for Emma. Or hype up their enduring feelings for each other after 11 years over S2.
THIS. This is one of the major things that makes me think they’re intended as endgame. If they wanted SF to remain in the past, they’d have written their present day interactions completely differently. And as recently as 306 they were still writing Emma as loving Neal, so I don’t think they’ve changed their original gameplan. There would be no point to them having written that unless they’re intending to have them struggle through and get back together.
I’m not sure if Hook realizes how much Henry will be around when they are back in SB and that Emma would probably never leave him there to go off adventuring or something like that without him
And considering the last time he knew a woman in that exact same position, she did put him above her son, I guess why would he be expecting things to be different this time. Methinks Hook is headed for a much needed, long time coming reality check. *skips away singing* You can’t always get what you waaaannnnttt, but if you try sometiiiiiimes, you might fiiiiinnnnd, you get what you neeeeeed…..
I still reckon Oz is more likely to be S4. I just feel like NL AND Oz both in the same season would be overkill, but if they’re separated in different seasons, then each land gets to be a proper focus and a proper star of the show. I know we’re having a big break mid-season anyway, so 3.2 will be like a new min-season, but I dunno, it’s still technically S3.
I think re-establishing FTL would work for 3.2. That’s not just gonna be smooth sailing, and if they kick it off in 3.2, they’re setting up new potential storylines and conflicts that could be elaborated on in future seasons as well, even if the core cast pop off to a different land again for a bit to find something or save someone or defeat someone, they’ll still have FTL story to show as well.
How much fresh storyline could be generated in SB by comparison? Especially if the whole family start getting along better. They wouldn’t be able to show the same sleepy little town being run by the two evil characters who are trying to mess with everyone if those two evil characters are now not trying to rule with devious iron fists so much any more. And if there aren’t still evil characters trying to rule the town, then where’s the SB storyline gonna come from?
If they go back to FTL, how many former royals would want their own kingdoms back and what sort of new power struggles could arise? They could have Regina having to deal with no longer being the one in charge, because in their kingdom, power would most definitely swing back to Snowing, even if they don’t fully revert to the royal system. Regina would have to deal with that, and find her new role, because she wouldn’t want to go back to her former, exiled EQ role, but being back in that old familiar setting might tempt her.
Re-building FTL is a process we really need to see play out, I’d hate for the show to just end with them all going back and we don’t get to see what happens next, but it’s not necessarily something that would qualify as blockbuster, super non-stop action packed storyline. So to see it play out gradually over a couple of seasons, with additional plot points like adventures involving other worlds as the main story, I think could work.
Well maybe its just an episode at home in SB as they figure out the new curse? Are there scenes of just the non-cursed people running around or something that’s driving the speculation that all the cursed folk are in FTL?
Far as I know the only “evidence” of people being separated is that people saw them shooting a scene that looked like it might have been Regina saying goodbye to Henry and Emma, and it was the same scene where Grumpy comes running, yelling about the Curse coming.
I tweeted Keegan about it, and she RTd me. Didn’t add a comment, just a little iemoji, which doesn’t show up on the computer because it’s an iphone emoticon type thing, but it’s just a pic of 3 little stars (gold stars, that’s what you usually get given when you’re right about something, so I’m now even more suspicious).
“@PHEEEEEE: In "Dark Hollow", when Belle was casting spell, was Blue silently mouthing her own spell? Coz I'm suspicious. #SNEAKYFairy”

It just seems like endgame not something that should happen now.
Remember when we all thought that the Curse breaking was gonna be a series finale endgame thing, no doubt about it. 😉
Let’s say that they are going to the EF and that several people are being left behind in what I assume will become the woods again (what SB was before the Curse). How do those left behind get to the EF?
Maybe no one does get left behind.
I would really love for SB to go to EF and the theme for the later half be everyone trying to find each other. It will still be about family, but not only focused on the Charmplemills but include everyone in SB, since they’re practically family at this point. And it’ll allow the spotlight to shine on some other members of the SB and not just the main cast.
They’d need to re-establish who rules what and where. Would old kingdoms be re-established? Or would they keep on living and governing in a way similar to our world instead?
Adam sent a couple tweets lately implying that we’re gonna get more Philaura at some point, (and finally find out how he was saved from the Wraith), and the only way they could be made relevant to the current storyline is if people go back to FTL and interact with them.
Same deal with Robin. If only Regina goes back, what’s she gonna do, sit around the campfire with the Merry Men for half a season? If everyone goes back, there’s a whole community for Robin and the Merry Men to be integrated into, (and they’ve never lived in our modern world, so that could be interesting), so he can become a real part of the story.
The whole being transported back to the EF is just speculation right? We haven’t seen any spoilers or anything that would confirm it?
*Trying not to get depressed I feel like the show would go south if they go back this early on. As RG said, then what would they do? Be transported to Oz and then have to get back to EF again, and then be sent to another land and have to get back to EF again. It would be so redundant. And just staying put in the EF for the rest of the series would be mind-numbing lol. Hoping it plays out differently.
Yeah it’s all just speculation right now.
Even if they don’t go back to FTL, if they’re still in SB, they’ll still have to go off to Oz, and come back, then go off to somewhere else, then come back. No matter where they are, people will be having to go to some other place for adventures. At least in FTL they could branch out more within the one world. As long as they’re in our world, they’re confined to SB.
Maybe but I keep going back to that scene they were filming for 311 that we got a report for: Emma, Regina and Henry and apparently Regina saying goodbye to Henry.
Yeah that’s the glitch, but we don’t actually know for sure that Regina was saying goodbye to them, that was just the best guess from those who were there.
