Looks like it! And Daniel seems to be the famous Frankenstein monster. I guess now the question is who will kill the monster? Looks like Regina may have…
In the traditional story, the monster kills himself, doesn’t he? Though that doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on how it happens on the show, because obviously the real story didn’t end that way. Weren’t there pics of Josh Dallas at the stables? Don’t remember what ep that was meant to be for though, or if I’m completely imagining it.
There appears to be a disembodied arm in the midst of that sheet that Regina finds. I’m guessing that’s Whale’s? Looks like the shirt sleeve has a lavender cuff, and isn’t that the colour shirt he was wearing?
[adrotate group="5"]Don’t think Regina can work the hat on her own, otherwise she wouldn’t have gone to Jefferson for help in Apple Red As Blood. In Broken, I think she was just hoping it’d somehow work, because magic was back, and she didn’t have time to find Jefferson, and she was desperate, so had to take a gamble and try. But as we saw, it didn’t work until Emma touched her.
So going back to Hat Trick, I think that Jefferson wasn’t far off the mark when he told Emma that she could make a hat work. I don’t think that the hat she made in that ep worked though. There wasn’t any magic floating around town at that point in time, so there weren’t the necessary resources for Emma to tap into to make it work. The more I think about it, the more I think that Emma’s power isn’t so much an individual power of her own, it’s more like she’s a conductor of other people’s powers and magic in general. Kinda like she can tap into magic that’s in the air and amplify it. Back in Hat Trick, there was simply nothing in the air for her to conduct or amplify, but in Broken, there was.
I guess that could be linked to her self professed lie detection “superpower”. As long as she’s fed some information, be it something someone says, or some magic, she can find the truth in it and use it.
Look at me getting all rambly and off topic, oops. 😛
Yeah, I think it’s when they were originally pitching the idea for the show, and they had so many people say, “OMG you can’t kill Prince Charming!” that they changed it. Thank God they did.

Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney movie and I was not sure about the whole brunette Aurora thing.
However, since this Phillip did not slay Maleficent before getting to his Aurora and since there have been ample references made to another sleeping beauty, I believe that we’re seeing a different sleeping beauty.
Yep, they’ve confirmed this:
Was it Aurora’s (Sarah Bolger) mother that Regina (Lana Parrilla) was referring to back in Season 1 who got the best of Maleficent (Kristin Bauer)?
Edward Kitsis: Yes.Might we ever see that?
Adam Horowitz: We might!Taken from this article, which is sorta spoilery, so don’t click if you don’t wanna know stuff: http://www.tvguide.com/News/Once-Upon-Time-Spoilers-Horowitz-Kitsis-1054834.aspx
When it was announced that we’d be getting Aurora, everyone assumed that we’d be getting the Sleeping Beauty we all know. Turns out she’s actually a different character, which I think was clever of them, because it means they can tell Aurora’s story, which has elements of her mother’s, so it not completely foreign to us, and then they can also tell us the actual Sleeping Beauty story as they move ahead in developing Aurora’s character. Two fairytales for the price of one. 😉
I’m looking forward to seeing more of her story, to see how she ended up in the same position as her mother, and what this sacrifice is she mentioned.
Here’s how the casting call described her:
Female, early to mid 20s. Born into a life of wealth and privilege, Anastasia was raised every bit the polished princess. But beneath the shiny veneer of a spoiled young girl beats the heart of a woman willing to sacrifice everything for love.
The “spoiled young girl” vibe has bugged me a time or two, but I’m waiting for them to flesh out the character a bit more before I decide just how much that’s gonna bug me once we get to know her properly.
PS. I’m completely in love with her dress and want one for my very own.

I don’t really see the point of Emma and Snow being in the Enchanted Forest. It doesn’t add anything to the actual plot, and it pairs the main characters off with new characters that most people are pretty apprehensive about. So, Emma and Snow going missing for a few episodes doesn’t bother me, but having them in a storyline that is completely separate from the main Storyline going on in Storybrooke is upsetting. I’m more invested with what’s going with Charming, Rumpel, Regina and Red in Storybrooke than Emma and Snow’s storyline, and that’s a problem.
At the moment, there may be a disconnect between the two storylines, but I’m thinking they’re gonna link up sooner rather than later. I’m assuming that Hook, (and Cora) will end up in SB. If that was the plan of the showrunners, to get them to SB from another world, then I think this was a very creative way to go about getting them there.
Not only has it thrown the show’s heroines into peril, it’s forced them to bond and begin the mother/daughter relationship that the fandom was eager to see. They wouldn’t have had that breakthrough if they were both still in SB, it only happened because they’d been thrown into this situation where they only had each other, and Emma was forced to see Snow as her mother. It’s fun to see Emma in her native land, and important for her to see the place she came from, (like, literally, she saw what would have been her nursery, that’s not something she ever could have imagined she’d get to see), because she’s had issues with her identity her entire life, and is only now beginning to learn who she really is. It’s great development for her character to have a reality check that there are some situations that she really can’t handle alone, so she has to let the tough exterior crack and learn how to be a vulnerable girl who can let her mother take the lead, a concept that’s completely foreign to her. None of this character development would have been possible if they’d remained in SB.
Also, it’s caused us to ask more questions about the curse. Here we thought it was broken, so it was over and done, but it turns out there was a part of FTL that was left untouched, and now we’ll get to discover more of how the curse really operated, and what caused it to behave that way.
Getting back to my first point about them joining up the two storylines, when that happens, it’ll impact multiple SB storylines. Emma will hopefully be in a better place to move forward with accepting her parents, and may well have a whole new outlook on how she wants to be a mother for Henry as well. If Cora comes back, that’ll mean hell for Regina. If Hook comes back, well, we now know he has a sordid history with Rumple, which will impact both of them if they’re back in the same town, and in turn that will affect Belle. And if they’re gonna be bringing Bae to town as well, that’ll mean that the real story of what happened to his mother will come out, assuming Rumple never told him the whole truth. Imagine an adultBae coming face to face with Hook, the man who took his mother.
Anyway, basically, I guess what I’m saying is that IMO, the way they’ve split the storylines for now is a brilliant way for them to introduce new characters, develop existing ones, and set up new elements of the story which will play out during the coming season.

What if Hook kills Milah in front of Rumple because Rumple did not fight for her?
That is definitely a possibility. A lot of people think the body being dumped into the ocean in the promo is Milha’s. 🙁
I’d hope they wouldn’t make Hook that heinous right off the bat. I just don’t see how they’d expect to win him many fans if in his first of many appearances on the show, they have him kill Milah in cold blood, so I doubt it’ll happen. If that is Milah’s body, (wouldn’t surprise me if it is), then I’m hoping she gets caught up in the middle of a fight and killed accidentally, or something like that.

As far as the spinning goes….I think it’s misdirection. I think we’re supposed to think Belle thinks he’s doing something bad/wrong. I think what he’s actually doing is making the necklace he gives her. Just my hunch though.
Love that idea!!
That’s pretty cool! X Files was a great show.
Also kinda cool…I was watching the DVD extra about Steveston not even half an hour ago, and now this thread gets bumped up. We need Mulder and Scully to investigate this freaky coincidence. 😉

As far as the “Wendy” connection, I still believe it will be Emma. I don’t think Bae, even as Peter Pan, would have gone back to the Enchanted Forest. That would rule out visiting Morraine. Peter always came to the real world, a world without magic. In the movie Hook, Moira (Peter’s wife) was Wendy’s grand daughter. Moria was the reason Peter left Neverland and stayed in the real world. In my mind, this has to be Emma. She is Moira and I think she reminded Bae of his childhood friend Morraine.
I think that Emma can be a Wendy connection of sorts, but there’ll still be someone else who was actually the Wendy. I agree that it’s quite possible that it was on the trip to our world where he met Emma that he decided to stay here, but I still reckon the traditional story happened at some point in our history before 1904 (the year when the story first went public as a play), otherwise our world wouldn’t have Peter Pan’s story at all.
They could twist it as though Peter came to our world multiple times over several hundred years, because he was inexplicably searching for someone. He met Wendy, and thought she was the one, so he took her back, but it turned out she wasn’t the one after all. Then one day, on another trip, he met Emma, and somehow sensed that they had a connection and she was the one he’d been sort of subconsciously searching for, and that’s why he stayed here, to be near her, because after whatever happened with Wendy, he realised that he wasn’t meant to take people back to Neverland with him, it was him who was meant to stay here.
I like this idea that Hook and Smee can potentially communicate between worlds…
We know that somehow, Snow will find a way to communicate with Charming. Snow’s in FTL, hanging out with Hook. Charming’s in SB, where Smee is kidnapping Belle…
If Hook has a communication device, chances are they’ll find it. There’s that shot of Snow holding the hook, and also the shot of Hook tied to the tree, so odds are, they’re gonna search his possessions at some point and be suspicious of him…
Maybe Smee’s end of the communication device somehow ends up in Belle’s possession, and then ends up in Charming’s possession when they find her. Or maybe they just go after Smee after Belle is found, and that’s when they find it. Of course, they’ll conveniently find it at just the right time when Snow’s on the other end of the line, trying to make it work.
Thank you for that link, bec. OMG MY HEART, poor Rumple!! 🙁
“A man unwilling to fight for what he wants…deserves what he gets.” I do believe we just witnessed the moment where Rumple officially became emotionally scarred for life.
It’s probably not entirely logical that I’m loving Hook, considering I love Rumple, and Hook is so horrible to him.
