So I was at work today day dreaming when I started thinking about the entire home office storyline. I came to realize that the home office knows an awful lot about everyone and all the magical objects in Storybrooke.

So then I started thinking, ‘Who could possibly know all of this stuff?!?!’ and then it hit me.

What if whoever is the head of the Home office is the same person that wrote Henry’s book?!?!

Interesting. I assumed the Home Office had someone on the inside who was relaying information to the head of the office who then relayed it back to GOAT.
There are so many theories about who wrote the book: Blue, Jefferson, Rumple. For it to be an outsider would be a twist no one saw coming.

ETonline: So you consider Emma to be the love of Neal’s life?
Raymond-James: Yeah. I don’t think there’s any question about that.

I wonder if NL-adjacent is London that is forever stuck at the turn of the 20th century. Phee and others have called it FictionalLondon where some of our favorite English character could reside.

But if it is a fictional London, then how do you travel to and from there? Would you have to go through NL and then how does Bae leave NL and fictional London for our world later on?

FictionalLondon could be a land without magic so the bean took him there, as the Blue Fairy said it would. She just said the bean would take him to a land without magic, she didn’t specify which one. The Shadow has magic and can enter that world and take children out (I guess that’s sort of like the Dragon. The Dragon could do magic in a land that wasn’t magical because he himself was a magical creature).
I’m wondering if Bae ever returns to FictionalLondon or if he goes from NL to our world after a few hundred years.

I’m not sure if things mentioned in a podcast should be in spoiler quotes but didn't A&E say that since Neal was between life and death when he went through the portal so he got sent to where lost soul's go or something like that. I can’t remember who said that but someone mentioned it. At least I thought someone said something like that.

That was a fan theory that got sent in to the in-depth Once podcast ep. 100.

I rather like it. We have to get Neal and MAP together somehow and I’d rather them not spend time showing Neal wandering FTL before he meets up with MAP. It makes more sense to have him land where Mulan and Aurora are in the process of rescuing Philip. Then Neal can reveal his story and who he is. Maybe Aurora can then use the dream world to contact Henry and let everyone know. Someone else proposed that last bit a few pages back.

I don’t remember A and E saying that but I do remember Daniel proposing that in the chat this past Wednesday and I think it makes sense for Neal to end up right where Mulan and Aurora were rescuing Philip.

I have always thought that the place the souls go is a spirit world, as opposed to a physical place, so I’ve never been on board with the theory that MAP are in NL retrieving Phillip’s soul. How would Aurora and Mulan actually get there themselves? I don’t imagine they’d go to find him there, rather, they’d do something to pull his soul back so it can return to his body. I’ve always thought the pics were in FTL after having brought back Phillip’s soul.

Yeah, I’m thinking this’ll be it as well. There’s too much going on in the finale to show a proper Mulan/Aurora journey to restore Philip’s soul; it seems more likely that, mirroring the premiere, we’ll witness the end of it, with M/A arriving at Sleeping Beauty’s Casle, use something on Philip that saves him and then they hear a loud noise that leads them to Neal.

That’s a good idea. They could do a quick explanation of Philip through exposition. I wonder why the portal would put him in Sleeping Beauty’s realm though. I know it’s still in FTL but it’s not in the EF (correct?? I really wish A and E would give us a map)

My kids are re-watching LOST and are almost done with season 3. I have never watched LOST so I can only comment on what I’ve heard second/third hand or had explained to me by my kids. My question is this does the Home Office parallel The Others (i think that’s the name)? Is the final battle going to be between our beloved SB characters and the newly introduced Home Office? Does anyone believe that the Home Office was introduced because they are/will be the bad guys?

I’m sorry if there is a thread already out in the forums on this but there is so much in the forums I can’t find it. Anyone is more than welcome to redirect me to the thread. Thanks!

If the Home Office parallels anything, it’s the Dharma Initiative, a sort of secret organization interested in the unknown (for Dharma it was the more “frigne” science and they didn’t want to wipe them out).
The Others are (i’m going to put this in spoilers for anyone who hasn’t seen LOST): a group of people who have been living on the island for many years before the crash of flight 815. Many of them were brought over by a mysterious man named Jacob who is more or less the “god” of the island(this is really complicated and I'm over simplifying because Jacob isn't a god in the traditional sense). The Others consider themselves the protectors of the island but their mission has been somewhat cat off when Benjamin Linus appointed himself leader, after he killed everyone in the Dharma Initiative. Ben has never met Jacob and Jacob has no desire to met Ben so his leadership is questionable. The Others pose a threat to the crash survives for only a short period of time (S1-3) before it becomes the Outside World who are trying to find the island for their own means. That lasts for a season or two before the real battle, fate vs science, destiny, good vs evil, takes over.
This is the broadest outline of LOST I've ever given and I'm really not doing the show justice at all.

I really hope they give an explanation for that taser before the season ends, it was one of the more hated elements of S2 and I think it should be answered before summer.

I pity the fool who tries to taser Rumple.
