[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
–Keegen auditioned 4 times for Blue? Interesting.
–LOL that she had to wear a slinky dress before she landed the role. Anything is better than that BF dress though…
–BF set up as powerful. (RG’s thought: lol. No. We’ve all seen S2. Just no.) But Keegan wants to play the most powerful being. (RG’s thought: lol. No. It’s not gonna happen)
–Blue Fairy vs. Tinkerbell Battle. (I’m for it!)Thanks for posting!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"First off…wowza. That looks great!
I have no idea how you figured out months but nice!
Also, there was a note about Aurora’s birth date and if she is younger than Philip and Mulan. I would say yes. I think they’re sticking pretty close to Aurora being between 16-18 when Philip wakes her up in 2×01. But my only reasoning behind that is her emotional maturity."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think what we need to remember about Jefferson is that he’s unhinged. I don’t think there was an logical explanation for what he was doing but if he could get Emma to get the hat to work then it is proof of magic and then she might be able to break the Curse, realizing that magic was real.
I do like the idea that he’s been keeping tabs on Emma before she came to SB. It would also work if August was tracking her and then telling Jefferson and marked it on a map.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Had Nealfire stayed with her…
He wouldn’t be able to straight up tell her, “Hey, so here’s the deal, we’re both from FTL and came to this world via magical portals, and your parents are Snow White and Prince Charming, (and my dad is Rumplestiltskin, I know he’s not typically thought of as being a dad, but trust me, long story, but trust me), and you’re the “Saviour” who has to go break a Curse that’s imprisoning everyone from our homeland by trapping them without their memories in a town in Maine.” She’d have had him committed, their relationship would have ended, no one in SB would have ever gotten saved, and she never would have found her family. Everyone loses!He couldn’t stay with her and not attempt to tell her, because it would have been a massive and personal secret he’d be keeping from her, and that would have made him miserable, it would have come between them, and if he refused to tell her, it would have driven them apart.
He’d also have had the temptation to not tell her because he was scared of being reunited with his father. And it’s not really fair on Emma to keep her away from her family, just because he’s scared of being reunited with his. That would have eaten away at him every day, and again, it would have driven them apart. By letting her go on her Curse breaking journey, he was leaving himself open for that inevitable father/son reunion he was so dreading.
There was simply no way that they could have remained together at that point and be happy. They were screwed, and he was the only one with all the info, so he had to be the bad guy. He has a history of sacrificing his own wants for the good of others, as shown with the Darlings. Nealfire haters call him a coward for leaving Emma. I’d say it was an impossible choice and a brave move on his part.
I agree about 1000%. I never saw Neal leaving Emma as vindictive of cruel on his part. It was necessary and it was incredibly brave of him. My question has always been: what was his other option?? A town of thousands were depending on her. Does your own personal happiness come before the needs of many? I’m a huge Star Trek fan so if I quote Spock: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. Neal gave up his chance for his happy ending, to be healed with someone he truly loves, to save a town full of people(contrast that to Hook who left an entire town full of people to die to save his own skin. And yes he did turn around, but I did not read it as him turning around for Emma. He did it because he abandoned Neal once and now he’s dead and he has to honor Baelfire by trying to save Henry’s family and then Henry himself. Hook was very much like Rumple in this. In my head, it had nothing to do with Emma. They understand each other and they are alike, but he did not turn that ship around because of her. And not to say that Hook is without honor, but I just read that scene differntly). What Neal did hurt Emma, I agree. And they need to discuss that, but it was also what needed to happen. People act like Neal isn’t sorry he did it, but he flat out tells Emma at the beach that he hated what he did, that he never forgave himself. He is sorry but like Emma giving up Henry, Neal had to give Emma her best shot at finding her family and her true happy ending which has always been and will always be reuniting with her family.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I agree about the final battle of the season between Neal and PP. The good guys will of course be helping out but it will be PP vs. Neal (and Rumple and probably Hook to get the original story in there).

How did you guys feel about OUAT’s interpretation of Jack? I thought it was an interesting twist to make her a woman, but then again, they also made Ruby the Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood.
My honest interpretation? I really disliked her. A lot. Useless character that I never want to see again, I don’t need a flashback of her, I don’t need her story, just let her be dead. The twist that she was a woman was fine, but not nearly as exciting as Red being the Wolf. Tiny was one of my least favorite episodes this season (I think I ranked it right behind S, B and T) because the flashbacks were so flat and dull and predictable (also didn’t like the SB stuff. The only good part of that episode was the Rumple, Emma, and Henry stuff). I’m all for strong femme fatale’s but she was annoying and pointless. She also bears my name so my interpretation might be a little personal. 😆 😉

Queston: Why did Jefferson really have those maps that he was making? ❓
Because he was in a house for 28 years alone and bored and needed something to occupy his time.
Also, it would be a natural instinct for a realm jumper to know where he was and where he could go."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"We don’t know that Snow didn’t get burned every time in the past, just that she didn’t get burned when she went into the deep sleep in Into the Deep. My only explanation is because she went in voulentarily and by this point it had been many years since her sleeping curse whereas Henry and Aurora were both recent victims of the Sleeping Curse and never had any say in the matter if they went to the Red Room or not.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Those are also good points Shandlich that we need a villain who is bad for the sake of it, rather than sympathetic. The Blind Witch was the last one like that.
I do think it’s time for that. It is a standard fairy tale trope, the bad guy is bad for the sake of badness. Cora had potential but then they went and did her flashback and while it did not make me sympathetic to her, it did let me understand her. I’m really hoping PP is just a bad guy who wants to live forever and does whatever it takes to make that a reality.
