Oh has it, I hadn’t heard that. Thanks for the info.
The title could do double duty in that case, because I checked and according to the Once Wiki, this is indeed meant to be Barrett’s first ep, and one of the things we know about him is that he’s gonna be a “visitor” to SB.
I wondered in the title thread for ep10 if that one might be about Hook vs Rumple. If that theme was set up in ep10, then Belle could be feeling very much on the “outside” in ep11, if suddenly the topic of Milah has come to the forefront. If Hook gets Rumple all fired up over Milah, Belle could get a bit of a, “what about me” complex going on. Perhaps.
[adrotate group="5"]Yep, this is meant to be Ethan Embry/Barrett’s first ep, I believe.
Now I’m back to pondering my little theory of him being a real world person as opposed to someone from a magical land.
Surely it’s gotta be an Archie ep with a title like that?
QoH’s fave game was croquet, which is different to cricket. Cricket has two teams, one batting, one bowling, and the batting team scores runs running up and down the pitch while the fielders try to get them out by hitting the wickets (3 little wooden posts standing at each end of the pitch) with the ball before the batter gets back. How that’d work into the storyline, if at all, who knows.
Is this the ep with the pics of Hook with Rumple and Belle? If so, perhaps it could relate to Hook vs Rumple in some way, given they’re both Brits, and cricket originated there. It’s known as “the gentleman’s game”, and while neither are stereotypically gentlemanly, (God love ’em), perhaps their feud will be kept polite and low key to begin with? Maybe Hook will want it that way to he can try and charm his way into Belle’s good graces?
And Archie will get stuck in the middle somehow, coz they just can’t have an ep with the word cricket in the title without the cricket being involved.

there is a point where Regina asks mr gold where he found Henry and he grins like he knew. do u remember that?
That happened after Mr Gold had met Emma and remembered and been able to put the pieces together. Before he met Emma and heard her name, he had no idea that Henry was Snow and Charming’s grandson.
I personally think that Blue Fairy/Mother Superior kept her memories, kept tabs on Emma, and found out about the baby. Then she put the idea into Regina’s head to adopt a baby, then Regina went to Mr Gold coz Rumple deals the baby trade, then Mr Gold went to Mother Superior, who, as head nun, would likely know of any orphans in need of adoption. Then Mother Superior was the one who arranged for Henry to come to town, but Regina doesn’t know that, which is why she was questioning Mr Gold.
Dunno that I buy into August having been part of the plan to bring Henry to town, because I think that once he’d gone to Phuket, (which he did while Emma was pregnant), he stayed there until he got the leg pains 10 years later. I certainly think he was acting as Blue’s messenger boy when it came to his actions in Tallahassee though, so I do think he has a history of working for her. I just don’t think he’d have come back from his Pleasure Island to help her again with baby Henry. Then again, I didn’t think he was the one who’d sent the postcard, (thought it was Blue), even when a bunch of people suggested it, and look how wrong I was with that one. 😛 I love me some August, so won’t complain if they do work him into the storyline more than I’m expecting.
I’d be incredibly surprised if they killed Hook in the same season as introducing him, if at all. It’d be a seriously stupid business move, considering what a following the character has.
I’d also be incredibly surprised if K&H haven’t learned some lessons from their experience on Lost.
Basically, I have faith that the show runners of Once aren’t idiots.

yesterday Etan Embry was on set, with Robert, Lana and Barbra let the speculation begin. 😀 I kinda wonder if he is Cora(?) assuming the other imposter theory is debunked. Anyone????
I read that tweet too! I’m at a total loss for who Ethan is playing. I’m holding out hope that he’s the Wizard of Oz.
…wait, wasn’t it confirmed that he was going to play Victor Frankenstein’s brother? Hmmm…me confused.
Like Spyglass said, Victor’s brother (Gerhardt) is being played by Chad Michael Collins. Everyone assumed that Ethan Embry would play Victor’s brother because there’s an uncanny resemblance between him and David Anders, but it turned out we were wrong. Ethan’s character is the “mysterious visitor to SB” named Barrett, “kind and smart, but also has a very dark side and has beliefs and a way of life that he will fight fiercely to defend.”
I’d been wondering if Ethan’s character might be a real world someone who would be anti-magic and follow Neal to town. But there’s been no suggestion that MRJ is filming right now, is there? So that theory is pretty much shot. Though the Wizard of Oz is meant to be a real world guy, if they stick with the original origin story for him. And he wasn’t truly magical, he was more of an illusionist, so he could potentially be anti-legit-magic. So maybe he’d get drawn to SB, and would try to put things right by using his own bag of tricks to try and get the better of the magic in town. Perhaps. Part of me likes the idea of him being Oz and part of me thinks they’ve already got enough big name players right now, so they could hold off on bringing in Oz for a while.

I think when they said “explosive” they were using it figuratively – as in a dramatic shock/major surprise.
That’s what I’m hoping, but you just never know. With folks flinging magic around town, stuff could literally go BOOM.

You gonna kill me now? Go ahead. Try”
Hook seems overly confident considering that Cora can easily kill him or rip his heart out. Maybe living in Nerverland for so long has made him immortal…? I think it pretty obvious that Hook doesn’t really like Cora, especially compared to the way he behaved with Emma and Snow. But I wonder why he didn’t try to defend himself and deny that he chose Emma, because the last thing he needs is to get on her bad side.
Hook does come across as having too much confidence for his own good. While I doubt he’s become immortal, he does seem to have a trick up his sleeve. Maybe he knows Cora won’t kill him because only he knows how to kill Rumplestiltskin, a common enemy.
That’s an intriguing thought about him potentially being immortal. Dunno if they’d go that far, but maybe he’s protected against Cora by a spell, somehow, like an insurance policy? If I was gonna be going into business with Cora, you’d best believe that I’d take out life insurance of some description. At the very least he must have something she needs, likely knowledge of some kind, because if it was an object she needed, she’d just kill him and take it.

See and that’s why I made a “There’s Something off with Mulan” thread not sure what but sometimes some things with her make me suspicious. As far as with Hook I think he has to have some way to equalize the field against magical enemies like Cora & Rumple that we haven’t seen yet. I love Hook as an anti hero I really want to see him do something important to get Emma & Snow home.
I didn’t take Mulan’s silence about the sleeping curse to be a sign of her guilt. I read it as her realizing the connection between Henry, Aurora, and Snow that shed hadn’t before understood. It was like the wheels were turning in her head as she realized how serious the consequences of the sleeping curse were. Whereas before Mulan thought Aurora was a bit of a pansy, she now has more respect for the amount of suffering Aurora has been through.
Yeah I agree with slurpeez, I didn’t think Mulan’s reaction was suspect, I think it was just a moment of realisation on her part, and maybe along with that, he was regretting some of the crap she’d given Aurora.
As far as Cora and Aurora only discussing Emma and Snow, and not also Mulan, I didn’t read too much into that either, just because she’s not the leader of that little group, she’s only with them to help them accomplish their goal of getting home. Emma and Snow call the shots in that foursome, so if there’s the option to exchange Aurora for the compass, Mulan doesn’t get a say in that decision, so she’s not worth discussing in that scene.
Raphael tweeted a pic of him and Colin together, so I guess Archie and Hook are gonna meet up for some reason.

“Henry’s been through it because I wouldn’t believe him.” Oh, Emma! 🙁

– Hook confirmed that he was acting against Cora, or supposedly so – they agreed that he stole the protection spell from her as she was originally to accompany him on the bean stalk.
That sorta surprised me. I was sure that she’d never intended to go up the beanstalk herself. Mad props to Hook for betraying her.
