ParticipantI reckon they’ll be off the ship and on land by 302 and may not be back on the ship until they head home. So this pic is in 301, right after they arrive. One of them probably goes overboard when the ship comes out of the portal, and the mermaids swoop in to see what’s up all, “Ooooo, fresh meat in town, how fun.”

ParticipantThis PP story is starting to really depress me. I watch OUAT to escape the cruel world and I have a feeling that I am going to cry a lot.
Having recently re-watched season 1 over the course of a few marathon sessions, I’ve re-discovered how heart wrenching the show is overall. It really is rather depressing a lot of the time.

ParticipantI also like the idea that they had a something something during cursed SB. Maybe they can finally clarify just how much free will people had. Maybe Regina is struggling with Baby Henry, and along comes RH and saves her. And he’s good with babies. Helps settle the fussy guy down, changes the diapers, let’s Regina get some sleep. It starts to feel real to her, but she knows she’s holding him in a curse.
This is what I’m hoping for, some sort of interaction between them in SB past that relates to a child and them having a little connection/bonding moment over Henry. Would be nice foreshadowing if they plan to inject Tamara/Robin child/parent issues into the future relationship of RegalHood.
As for the aspect of her maybe considering it but she knows any connection isn’t real for him because he’s not really aware, we can inject her relationship with Graham into that scenario too. If she wants to start something with Robin, she has to end the thing with Graham, unless she intends to cheat on Robin, but if she thinks she could really have feelings for him, she probably wouldn’t want to go that route of cheating on him OR essentially using him, like her dysfunctional arrangement with Graham.

ParticipantAh, the end part of that scene gets me right in the FEELS!!
Now that we’ve seen Tamara straight up tell Hook that she killed Bae with no remorse whatsoever, I think he can be considered a candidate for the one who ends up killing her, (assuming she dies, which we all are).

ParticipantI’m starting to get really suspicious. I mean, obviously they haven’t announced any new character that it could be, but they sure are talking up RH A LOT. I’m starting to suspect something, like they may be misleading us. I know, shocking (sarcasm). It just seems like a whole lot of press pointing us in one direction, when they’ve been so careful to keep so many other things quiet, all happening over the last few days. I guess all of this really reminds me of Neal = PP. So many clues and everyone talking about it, just to be hoodwinked.
Am I crazy? Don’t answer that.
Oh we’re all completely crazy, and I do love a good conspiracy theory. 😉
I’m wondering if maybe they’ve been paying attention to murmours in the fandom about Regina’s love interest, and that’s why there’s now new info popping up about Robin. This theory of him being paired with Regina has popped up on tumblr a little bit, and there was an article, on the TVGuide site I think, that actually linked to their story about him being cast, at the end of a blurb they’d written about Regina getting a new love interest. So the chatter about it had already begun. Also, there’s been an increasing number of people shipping Regina with Tink, many people out there still insisting that Regina has to end up with a woman. A previous blurb about her new love was cautious to remain very gender non-specific and all inclusive. But now we have this new blurb that includes, “Regina’s love has to be very manly, and Robin Hood is that,” Parrilla says. “I’m getting very excited.” That pretty blatantly shuts down the speculation that Regina will be a lesbian, (or even bi), which was still persisting after the SQ meltdown, and in fact it seemed that some fans were latching onto the idea more than ever. So releasing spoilery info about plans to put her with manly man RH…like I said, I love a conspiracy theory. 😉

ParticipantFrom the last few spoilers (and because of our crazy obession) I’ve been under the impression that perhaps Regina and RH would meet in a flashback. Isn’t 3×03 supposed to be a Regina episode? It would make sense to me if this is how they’re introduced, and maybe we’re allowed to believe that there is a spark there, thus laying a foundation for a romance later. Then they wouldn’t be lying, we would be meeting RH early in the season and so would Regina.
Yes, I think something like this will probably happen. I’m really itching for some spoilery info about what type of scenes they’re shooting for 303, so I know whether or not I should drop my insistence that there may be flashbacks to Henry’s adoption in the ep. (It just seems like it’d be a good point in the story to show those flashbacks, because Regina’s now searching for Henry to get him back, so showing how she got him in the first place would make for good parallel scenes. Assuming they rescue him before mid-season, they probably won’t have time for a 2nd Regina centric in the first 11 eps, and showing her adopting him after he’s safe and they’re all back home may not have the same impact as showing her desperate to make sure he’s safe.) Because if there are SB flashbacks, that could be how we see Regina and Robin meet, instead of in a FTL flashback.
–The new love interest will be introduced very quickly in the season, but they never said he would be introduced WITH Regina
The article did say, “Regina/Evil Queen will find a surprising love connection in the third episode”, so I think they will share at least one scene somehow, but I don’t think it will be the major focus of the ep.
Seriously. I think they are giving RH something to *do* to reintroduce him to the audience by having him assist Belle but his real story will begin in the second half of the season when Regina is back home.
Agreed!

ParticipantAnother notion, what if Marian’s curse was Robin’s price for his magic bow–nothing to do with Regina, but she helped him to get a solution (though her aim was to annoy Rumpel).
Interesting idea. All magic does come with a price of some description.
Your post got me thinking about ways that Marian could have gotten sick though, and I ended up with a completely different theory. Maybe it was Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother who’d gone bad and cast a curse? That could explain why it had to be her wand to heal Marian, and they couldn’t just use any old magic to do the job.
No matter how tragic or short-lived any romance will be for Regina, at least she’ll get to have some time with Sean Maguire.
We should all be so lucky. 😉
On the “tragic” thing, just had a thought. If RegalHood were to happen (still not keen on it) and if Tamara were to be RH’s daughter, what if Regina killed Tamara in Neverland, not bothered by it, then hooks up with RH and is happy, then realises that Tamara was RH’s daughter.
Regina will then face the dilemma of does she tell RH the truth about his daughter and risk having him reject her or does she lie and continue with him knowing that she’s keeping this big secret from him.
Something like this could work really well, especially if, as you say in your next post, that it could inspire some some actual change in her if she loses him because of her actions. Actually seeing her take some responsibility would be pretty great.
So then they get to NL and he is working with Regina and that is where things happen?
I liked Prices suggestion that Regina will have a conflict between killing Tamaara and RH being her father. What if she grants mercy when the connection is revealed and does not kill Tamara. Then Robin does it. After all, we need to see a reason to think them soulmates. (as to why he does it, it’s a justice thing, she kidnapped a boy and activated the failsafe that almost killed the entire town. She may be his biological daughter, but he feels she is no true child of his).That would be intense! Even if it doesn’t play out exactly like that, and Regina does the killing, (I still reckon she’s more likely to kill Greg, and Rumple’s the one with the real personal vendetta against Tamara, but it could go either way), and the revelation that Tamara was Robin’s daughter creates tension for the relationship, I could still see that it might be resolved by him having that “no true child of mine” mentality. Especially if he’s never even met her as a baby. He’d still feel a sense of loss because he never knew her and now she’s gone, but she really did end up being a baddie, who almost killed him. Conflicting emotions for him much?
Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, for a different perspective on this…if he does have some sort of longing for his lost daughter, and does still wish he could have known her, could that potentially result in him being drawn more towards Regina? Just like Tamara, she started out innocent. Just like Tamara, she was manipulated and corrupted and did evil. You could even go all the way to how Tamara all but killed her father (with the failsafe) and Regina’s no stranger to patricide herself. Of course, Regina was painfully aware of what she was doing on that last point, and Tamara wasn’t, but I’m just saying, Tamara’s and Regina’s lives have actually had a similar trajectory, and if Robin would have been willing to forgive Tamara and love her despite her actions, then he may well feel similarly about Regina. But she’ll be full of self loathing over killing his daughter, and won’t be willing to accept his forgiveness and love.

ParticipantAh, Boromir! That monologue is a classic!
Again, we don’t know the time in either land and as for Wendy I am sure she thought it was longer as to what she saw made of seem like she was gone longer. But I don’t think this proves that there is a time difference in my opinion.
From SSTTR…
Wendy: How long was I gone?
Bae: Just the night.
Wendy: Felt like so much longer. So time works differently in Neverland.It’s not speculation that time works differently there, they actually had a character flat out state it. They wouldn’t have given her a line so specific if there wasn’t actually a difference.

ParticipantFor me, it would be too repetitive to use the dream as a communication tool. Snow said the dreams fade in time and I’m with Daniel when he said in one of the podcasts that the dream thing has to be gone now.
Yeah, I sorta think they may not wanna go back and re-use it. It might be weird if no one even contemplates it though, so that’s why I said maybe Aurora will try it, but it won’t work, due to the passage of time not matching up in the different worlds.
Might be harder to explain it away if no one thinks of using it in NL to contact Henry. But I suppose, if they have Hook, and he has knowledge of the Lost Ones, he probably knows where Henry’s being held better than Henry knows himself, so there wouldn’t really be much use of Henry speaking to his grandparents in sleep anyway.
But I really liked what Phee was saying in the chat. Phee? You wanna chime in?
Basically, I was saying how in order for people to communicate in the burning room, they have to be sleep at the same time. When they were communicating between SB and FTL, where time passes at the same rate, it was hard for them to get more than a couple of minutes’ worth of time together in the room in order to speak to each other.
We know that time in NL moves at a different rate, because Wendy was gone for 1 night, but said she thought she’d been gone much longer. So 1 hours’ sleep in FTL could equate to the blink of an eye in NL, which would make it practically impossible for two people to be asleep at the same time long enough to have a conversation in the burning room.

ParticipantWe don’t know really what happened to the red slippers.
From The Doctor…
Rumpelstiltskin: What about the slippers?
Jefferson: Oh. Couldn’t find ‘em. Heard talk they’ve already been moved to another land.
Rumpelstiltskin: That’s what I needed to get to that other land.
The slippers are in our world, with Dorothy.
Not everything went to SB, there was Snow’s cabinet etc so there is still stuff there at Rumbles place.
A crystal ball isn’t just some random object. I’d imagine that Rumple saw to it that all of his magical valuables ended up with him in SB.
As for the necklace that Emma through down I don’t recall Bae ever picking it up and why would he keep it at that time he loved Tamara.
Neal has always been in love with Emma. Whatever he did or didn’t feel for Tamara, he NEVER fell out of love with Emma, and I simply cannot imagine that he would have left such a specious momento sitting on some bar.
