So, MRJ is headed back for more filming and it’s the “most intense Emma episode yet”. MRJ is SO playing Henry’s dad.
[adrotate group="5"]Yep, that’s totally his arm in that cooler. He seems to be in alright condition otherwise though if he’s able to wander around town carrying his own detached limb in a big box.

Dr. Whale has:
-an inflated sense of self
-Classic “god complex”
-Frames himself as a victor in all conflicts
-Feels persecuted and misunderstood – paranoia?I could see those fitting with the Merlin theory, especially the ones about the God complex, (understandable for someone powerful who fixes people’s problems) and feeling persecuted, (though I guess the practice of magic is more accepted in this FTL universe than it was in our world during the time of Arthurian legend).
I’d rule out Peter Pan just because I’m sure I’ve seen it suggested in a few different places for a while, and they said that he’s someone they haven’t seen guessed so far.
LOVE seeing Aurora, Phillip and Mulan. 😀 Can’t wait to see how they mashup those two stories.
The scene where Regina appears to have the faulty magic, when everyone is ducking, it looks like Mr Whale who is on the far right of the shot, and he’s facing the other people, and he barely flinches, which makes it look like he was standing beside Regina, not against her. But then I’m thinking this shot comes directly after that, perhaps?
So will he be bluffing, making like he’s still willing to work with her, until it’s clear her magic is bust, and then he turns on her?Wonder if the Charmings are looking for anything specific when they’re in Mr Gold’s shop? Seems like something big is about to happen when they’re there, considering the earth shakes and they look out the window and there seems to be lightening and wind. I wonder if that’s right before whatever happens that rips up the road, which leads to whatever happens to Snow and Emma? I wondered if the shot of the street with the junk blowing in the wind is where the big hole ends up, but after digging up the pics of the hole, it doesn’t look like that’s where it is.
That shot of the wolf is an old shot from Red Handed, isn’t it? Interesting that they’d include it. Hmmmm.
PS. I’m totally in love with those gifs showing the morphing of the characters with the smoke. So freaking cool! 😀
SQUEEEEEE!
Thanks for the link!Of course I see this right before I’m about to walk out the door, so can’t sit and over analyse every shot right now. One thing I will say is that I liked the bit where Belle was all, “Wait up there mister!” I’d have been disappointed if she just accepted that action of his and went along with him no questions asked.
SO COOL! Love that Regina has the same book!
I dunno if it’s just the angle of the shot, and/or the face she’s pulling, but Barbara looks made up to look younger in that pic. I’d love to see them go back to the miller’s daughter story as well as showing stuff from when Snow was young. Can’t wait for this ep!

Just an idea that combines the notions of Bae being alive and Bae being dead. What if the magic brings back dead loved ones (not likes zombies but actual back to life) but it brings them back wrong. So the good, brave Bae that Rumple knew in fairytale land would actually come back as a nasty manipulative little so and so out to wreck his father’s life. Rumple would then have the dilemma of does he let Bae go and remember him as he was in fairytale land or does he keep this new twisted version of Bae around even if the fairytale land Bae wouldn’t have approved.
That would be be really interesting! Cool idea!

It’s probably not tied to the MR-J character, but there’s been another spotting of Daniel and in more context,
She (Lana) drove the car to the end of the street and proceeded to drive it towards the intersection, where another car would drive in front of her causing her to stop suddenly. It was at that point that she saw the mysterious new character standing on the corner, by the entrance to the Storybrooke Library. Lightening distracts Regina for a split second, but the character has vanished.
Was Noah Bean on set for that, or is it speculation that the person she thinks she sees in Daniel? It’s a fair assumption to make, so I’ll go with it coz I just had a thought. I wonder if he’s not so much come back to life, but if Rumple’s well trick, “bringing back that which is lost” is causing Regina to manifest Daniel in some way? Maybe no one is intentionally gaslighting her, it’s just a side effect of the magic well mixing with her own subconscious? Or could the barriers between present and past be thinning out somehow, so that he’s bleeding through, and that’s what she’s seeing?
I’m thinking that part of why Rumple went to the well wasn’t just to bring back magic, but to summon Bae to SB. If he’s out there in our world somewhere, how’s he gonna know to seek out SB of his own accord? Of course, we don’t know for sure yet if he’ll come to SB or if Rumple will be able to leave to find him, (he did talk about planning a trip), but if there were some way to magically put the call out, so to speak, so that Bae was drawn to SB, that would make Rumple’s job of finding him far easier. What if, in doing that, Rumple has sort of summoned Daniel in some way too?

I think it could create a lot more drama in the long run if he’s alive. If the show were just about Rumple, then I think that they could have Rumple find out that his whole Curse was pointless, and have Rumple go even darker but have Belle bring him back from the dark side. Since the show is about Emma, I think that Bae is going to play a really big part in her journey somehow whether that be as Henry’s dad, true love, and/or some kind of mentor or perhaps the real Big Bad. I just don’t think the writers can make Emma the Cursebreaker and Bae be the reason for the Curse’s existence without them interacting at all since Bae was such a large part of the reason Emma’s life turned out the way it did.
Good points! Emma and Bae are like two sides of the curse coin, so it would make sense if they ended up being vitally important to each other in some way.
That title would certainly fit, though we never got any casting calls or info for the character Lady of the Lake, which is curious. Hmmmmm.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_of_the_Lake
The Lady of the Lake is the name of several related characters who play parts in the Arthurian legend. These characters’ roles include giving King Arthur his sword Excalibur, enchanting Merlin, and raising Lancelot after the death of his father.More about Lancelot’s connection to Lady of the Lake is here:
http://www.timelessmyths.com/arthurian/lancelot.html#LadyThis couldn’t somehow work into the “complicated relationship” Lancelot has with Snow, could it? Lady of the Lake couldn’t have been Snow’s mother, could she? And when she was given the task to save baby Lancelot, she had to choose between that or staying with her daughter, and she chose the former? Has it been specifically said Snow’s mother died, or is she just ambiguously “lost”?
The spoiler for Once says it’s a connection that Charming doesn’t know about though. In the legend, Lancelot and Guinevere had an affair when she was with Arthur, and it wasn’t exactly a well kept secret, and that doesn’t really sound like the situation that’s described in this spoiler.
I reckon they could still go to that place where Rumple feels like he’s completely lost Bae, without Bae being dead. If Bae has done things he’s not proud of, maybe even repeated some of the sins of his father, he may be incredibly resentful and angry at Rumple. If he’s been beating himself down for much of his adult life, meeting his father again, having someone else to unleash some fury on for a change, that could destroy Rumple. Talk about the polar opposite of the last time he saw his son, going from, “Please Papa, do the right thing,” to, “I hate you for what you turned me into.” Ouch. When he finds that his father brought back the magic, that alone could be enough to set him off, so that he doesn’t want to associate with him.
If something along those lines happened, where Bae was all, “you’re dead to me”, Rumple would be in a position where it seems that all he did was for nothing because the one thing he always wanted, to reunite with his son, isn’t possible any more.
But I admit, I want Bae to be alive so the reunion can eventually happen, because I have a huge soft spot for the devious little bugger that is Rumple.

He’s probably expecting his son to still be similar to the last memories he had, but if Bae became Jack and Henry’s father, while I think he’ll be on the side of good, he’ll also probably be very cynical at the very least, and perhaps seem very dark.
Second this! Think about his confrontation with August. I can’t think of the direct quote, but it was something along the lines of ‘you’ve always been the bigger (better) man, son. Now, I need you to be the bigger man once again and forgive me.’ He seems to expect the anger and bitterness, but still thinks his son has retained his bravery and noble nature. If Bae is (at least on the surface) the complete wreck some of us are suggesting – think how crushing that will be for Rumple and the amazing acting opportunity for Robert Carlyle (maybe enough to actually get a nomination!)
All of this! Rumple has Bae up on a pedestal, so what happens when this person he’s put all of his faith and hope into, the one who motivated everything he’s done over the last few centuries, ends up falling short of his expectations? There’s so much potential for delicious angst in this father/son relationship, I can’t wait to see what they do with it!
