No, I mean as in horror flick Transylvania, where monsters exist. If we can end up in the EF where storybook characters originate, then why can’t we end up in fictional movie Transylvania where werewolves, vampires, invisible men, mummies and Frankenstein exist. Or, just plain old horror folklore.
Gotcha! 🙂
I like the idea of the pocket watch but the world in the sneak peek was black and white. That leads me to believe that Victor remained in that world but worked out of the “summer home” when reanimating his dead brother. HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean that Victor couldn’t have traveled between worlds looking for items he needed for his work. While I like the idea, I’m not totally sold on it. I think the whole point of that was to show that one son was the favourite and was rewarded with a treasured family heirloom while another got an unwanted commission in the army. But then again, they have to show us Gerhart dying and giving the watch to his brother Victor, so……………..oh, the possibilites! 😮 😀
Even if it doesn’t come into play in the crackpot theory way of my last post, I can’t help but think that that pocket watch is gonna be significant somehow. Viktor had a look of, “OMG, that thing!” like there’s a story behind it. And if they just wanted to show a family heirloom being handed down to the favoured son, they could have shown any number of things other than a pocket watch, being given to a guy dressed in white, no less. Like I said before, I think there’d be timeline issues with Gerhart himself being the White Rabbit, but I could see it having been their grandfather or something.

I’ve been saying since 2×05, The Doctor, that I believe it is Transylvania. The fact that his world is black and white, typical of the old ’30/40’s horror flicks. Looking at their attire and surroundings in that sneak peek, it’s all reminiscent of those horror flicks, which always take place at the turn of the century.
As in, real world Transylvania? The glitch there is that Horowitz tweeted that Viktor’s land did have magic, and we know you could get there via the hat. It’s been established that our world does not have magic, and it can’t be reached via the hat. Which makes the “real world” vibe from this sneak peek quite confusing.
Would they make it that they were originally in our world, and Viktor took his injured brother to another land to fix him, somewhere their father couldn’t get to? Seems a bit far fetched, but this White Rabbit talk got me wondering. If the pocket watch had belonged to the White Rabbit, and it was a portal device, similar to the hat, and if Viktor’s reaction to it in this sneak peek is because he’d heard stories of how it was used in the past, perhaps he’ll end up using it to take himself and Gerhart to another land. Perhaps?

Love the line from Papa Frankentein: “I’ve already allowed you the use of our SUMMER HOME for your foolish purposes.”
Oh, is that what they call Castle Frankenstein, the summer home? 😆
Snow’s family had a “summer castle”, I think that’s where EQ ended up living? Summer residences on this show are built for creepy shenanigans.

I wonder what that pocket watch is all about? poor whale he looked like he wanted it.
There’s definitely something to that pocket watch.
PapaFrankenstein: Your mother gave me that when we were married. It was her father’s. She wanted to keep it in the family.
Viktor: *shock and awe* I remember.Does that imply that Viktor remembers when it was given to his father? If so, does that imply that Gerhart’s mother was his 2nd wife and Viktor has a different mother, and maybe that’s why he’s a less favoured son? Or does it just imply that Viktor has heard about the pocket watch being handed down at some point?
A couple of pages back, EvilQueen mentioned him maybe being the White Rabbit. I dunno that Gerhart could be, because I’m guessing he’s headed right back to the battlefield and will soon be in bits and pieces on Viktor’s operating table, but perhaps it’s their grandfather who was the White Rabbit, if the watch originally belonged to him?

whale said “here on earth” just caught that as interseting
Yes, I noticed that too. And they appear to have a Christmas tree up. They shouldn’t have Christmas in alternate, magical realms, should they? Hmmm.
I think he was running from them both. You see your ex girlfriend who you landed in jail, hanging out with your evil, power obsessed father…of course your instinct is gonna be to RUN.

Neal being Bae and Peter Pan makes more sense to me than any other option. Rewatching the Disney movie the other night I found another correlation that I just wanted to share. The OUAT characters often carry key personality traits to the Disney versions, such as Belle loving books. In the big fight between Peter and Hook, Hook goads Peter into not using his abilty to fly by calling him a coward. Peter is affronted. “Coward? Me?” After further goading Peter exclaims, “Nobody calls Pan a coward and lives!” He nearly loses the fight, but he refuses to go back on his word and be branded a coward even to save himself. If that doesn’t fit with Bae angrily calling Rumple a coward when Rumple refuses to go through the portal, then I don’t know what does. If they make anyone else Pan, I’ll be very disappointed.
Excellent observation! They’ve certainly made a point of giving the word “coward” a whole lot of emphasis between these characters.
Another thought on this that popped into my head as I was about to fall asleep last night…how did Hook know that Milah had made Bae’s shawl? Was that just a throwaway line that we weren’t supposed to analyse? Too bad if it was, coz here I go. 😛 It looks very similar to Bae’s cloak, (so much so that when it’s been in spoiler pics, we’ve been referring to it as his cloak). If Hook had known the kid, who never took off his tattered old cloak, and had asked him why he always wore the old rag, and he’d said, “My mother made it,” that would explain why Hook knew that the similar shawl in SB had been made by Milah. How else could he have deduced that it was something she had personally made?
Cora is such a creeeeeeeeeeeper! Agree with everyone that “Henry” is actually Cora, and this fits in right before the other scene where Cora’s in Regina’s little hidey hole.

Hook-Emma so called interaction, it’s gross beyond everything. Is this, as they claim, a “family show”? I understand the writers are trying to feed the Hookers but this just lacks any taste.
The innuendo will go over the heads of the kids it’s inappropriate for. I look back at lots of the pop songs I used to sing along to as a kid and am stunned at what I was actually singing along to. 😯 😆 The CaptainSwan shippers get a tidbit, the people who don’t like Hook have it fuel their distaste, and those who are crushing on Hook get a kick out of it, (it’s in keeping with his character and I loved it), so it works for everyone and you can take from it whatever angle suits you.

Anyone else thinking that Gerherdt (sp?) dies saving Viktor in battle, and then driven by guilt, Viktor continually tries to resurrect his brother.
Good theory, could totally see this happening. I am not a fan of PapaFrankenstein.

I’m thinking the death of Snow’s mother brought about a great change in young Snow Flake. Maybe her mom was very sweet and kind and gentle and tried to make Snow like her, but Princess Snow was a spoiled brat (her father seems like he would have spoiled her) but when Eva dies, Snow changes to be more like her mother.
Sounds good to me. Maybe seeing her father’s grief over losing her mother will inspire Snow to change her ways and be good like Eva always wanted her to be.

So now we have a first name. Will Barrett be his last name or was that just used in the casting call to throw us off?
Could be his surname I suppose, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just a fake name. Seems they’ve done that a couple times for casting calls this season.
I was also under the impression that he would be in a coma for the rest of the season. Does anyone recall reading that somewhere? I can’t seem to remember where I initially heard that or find any links about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 😀
I think, and don’t quote me, but that may have just been speculation, because if his identity wasn’t gonna be revealed right away, the best way to keep it secret is if he’s unconscious in hospital. Perhaps.
