Thanks for the alternate link, em28. 🙂
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SCENE!

Here’s number 5!!
The Great Road Trip 2013 begins!
They need some music in that car to cut the tension. Does SB have a classic rock radio station?

That’s an interesting thought! It must be something tangible, since how could someone steal magic, which is comparable to energy? Perhaps the thief steals potions or golden thread spun from straw.
If this guy is Robin Hood, then him stealing the (magically created) gold from the rich guy would be perfectly fitting.

Also, wasn’t there a long monologue about the whole jaberwock incident in one of Carrol’s books? It was been so long since I read that, but I seem to recall something about it.
It was a poem in the sequel to Alice In Wonderland…
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.‘Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!’He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.‘And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’
He chortled in his joy.‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.Lewis Carroll
In the Tim Burton version, they had Alice kill it in battle, so I’m intrigued that they’ve got a girl killing it in the Onceiverse too.

Oh Snow White!! You’re such an awesome person!!
Why was Hook there, that’s my question. He’s part of the Axis of Evil.
And was it Regina or Cora who brought Anton through?I’m guessing it was Cora who brought Anton, since she was the one who accompanied Hook on his ship to SB. Based on the promo pics, I think Hook is in on Cora’s plan to gain power, which includes using the giant, who has a score to settle with who be believes is Prince James. Also, I think Hook doesn’t want to be under arrest for shooting Belle. Despite fearing Cora, Hook realizes his best chance for freedom and revenge are by being her ally. Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if Hook might fancy Regina.
It was definitely Cora who brought him. In the original promo (I think) there’s the bit where Hook uncovers the cage and says that he’s her most precious cargo, (or words to that effect). As for what Hook is doing there, perhaps he struck some sort of deal to get back on their good sides so they’d let him go. Let’s not forget the spoiler about him falling in with a righteous crowd.

Poor Anton. He doesn’t really seem to belong anywhere.
They just couldn’t bring themselves to turn dear old Hurley into a nasty guy. 😉

Now if it is Hook himself then that is something that should be allowed no matter what. If it does not break the terms of service then have enough grace to accept it without the intimidation and defensiveness (which I have already seen in here).
I think that people feel so passionately about this character that sometimes the line gets blurred, and if people don’t like Hook and state that in an emphatic way, his fans feel it as an attack, and as though they need to defend him, and themselves for loving him.

So how could the two possibly exist long-term in the same town, because I just don’t see it.
What you say about their neverending grudge preventing them from coexisting is a fair enough point. I think it’d be too simplistic and boring of a storyline for them to just kill Hook off and eliminate the problem though, (because yeah, if one of them has to die, they won’t be getting rid of Rumple).
I think it’d make for far more interesting storytelling if they develop each character in his own right, having them mature and deal with their issues. I’m not necessarily talking about full on redemption for either of them, I’m just saying that it’d be interesting to see them learn from their mistakes. I think that could lead to a situation where each of them is mature enough to set aside the blind rage. They’ll never be BFFs, but if each of them is developed to a point where he can accept his own faults and responsibilities in this situation, then I can see that eventually they could tolerate each other’s existence.
One of the things this show is big on is showing that even the baddest of the baddies weren’t born that way, something happened to corrupt them, and now they’re being given chances to make amends. The show reflects real life in that way. None of us are perfect, we all make mistakes, and when we’re given the opportunity to make up for it, it’s a struggle to make the correct choices. So I think that keeping Hook as a bad guy and just killing him off because he’s an inconvenience to Rumple would be far too simplistic, wouldn’t challenge the writers at all, and would be a contradiction to the moral of the show.
I agree that the mystery Thief sounds Robin Hood-ish.

ETA: If the theory about Lacey being the place in Jersey where Bae came into this world pans out as the reason for the title…having a thief in the back story with Rumple could parallel Neal’s (if Bae) journey to becoming a thief in this world.
Yes, that’d all fit together quite nicely.

These Ben and Owen characters are doing my head in. Just watch, every single one of our frillion theories for them will end up being wrong.
My theories almost always end up wrong but it’s fun to guess…bad when you have guessed almost every possible way things can be and still end up being wrong. lol
Seriously, the crackpot speculation is half the fun of this show for me, even if I get it wrong more often than not, at least it’s keeping my brain active and it’s fun to let my imagination run riot. 😀

Interesting that these two characters are in the flashback episode. Either while we see 28 years of history in SB, we will also see Ben and Owen (Greg and Dad?) outside of SB OR these two have a history with SB.
😮 Great idea. Maybe Ben and Owen saw SB magically appear out of nowhere when it was first created, and Greg (aka grown-up Owen) has returned to investigate the strange occurrences from 28 years before.
I’ve been wondering if perhaps there was a glitch in the beginning where outsiders (Ben and Owen) could find the town, and it was only after that that Regina put the barrier spell into effect. But I dunno that she’d have had enough magic to achieve that.

I’ve suspected for ages that Cora had something to do with what happened to Snow’s mother.

Milah said she never loved him, but she certainly does look happy and in love. So what up with that?!
Exactly what I was thinking when I saw these pics! No wonder it cut so deep when she spat out that she’d never loved him. Judging by these pics, she seemed happy at some point. So she was either lying when she said she never had been, or she’d put on an act that he’d fallen for. Either way, it made him feel like a fool.

Baby Bae is wrapped in the same shawl that Mr. Gold is wearing as a talesman. 😥
I’ve officially lost it! I’ll be crying in the corner if anyone needs me.WAAAAHHHHHHH!!! 😥
The way Rumple is dressed, it looks like he’s fresh from the war. I’m guessing the Seer will tell him something about Bae being born. So rather than stay and fight and possibly die without ever meeting his son, Rumple runs and goes home. When he gets there, Milah is less than impressed that he deserted the war. And then my heart breaks into a frillion pieces.

So Rumple is gonna be the one to get Belle’s memories back…I wonder if he’ll ask David for relationship advice again given that he went through a similar situation with Snow?
I’m still sticking with the idea that Rumple will almost die, and that situation is what will force Belle’s memories to come through so she can save him.
