Interestingly enough there are no pictures of the Storybook in the Rumple-centric episode The Price of Gold. This is also the episode where Henry says He does not know who Mr. Gold is.
[adrotate group="5"]darcyfarrow Noone who has retained their memories was in Regina’s dream. The characters in her dream were the main characters we have seen all season who “woke up”. We could also ask why wasn’t the whole town there? But it is a dream belonging to the dreamer.
I think everyone is updated before tonight’s show. Good Luck with those postulations
Gwendl wasn’t sure if your “I reckon” was a call or just thinking out loud. Give me a little more clarity and i will put you on the call list, and next time you use “I reckon” I will know for sure you are calling… 😀
My last call before the finale tonight is that the curse is not completely broken.
hjbau I added a [SPOILERS] in the subject line to let people who want to be completely spoil free know, that might now happen here. We will keep that there for the future seasons as well. That should solve some of the edgy calls we have. I’m surprised NONNIE didn’t suggest I do that. I saw her post it to someone on another thread, 😛
There are some other things to consider as well…
If things in SB haven’t really changed for 28 years until Emma came, there has been a hazy sort of stasis (think Cinderella pregnant all those years) then, it would not make sense that Belle was imprisoned after coming to SB.It could be she was not imprisoned yet in the scene at the end of Skin Deep, it could be that Regina was playing a “card” so to speak in order to see Rumpel’s reaction, and then went out and captured Belle, although IMO I think she already had her at that point, since our writers cut to the final scene in that show to show us where she was. The FT stories usually parallel quite well with the SB ones. Regina and Rumpel are antagonists of each other, frienemies, if you will, always trying to have one up on the other. I don’t know that Regina captured Belle and kept her with the curse in mind, and the possibility of using her against Gold one day, I just kind of thought she took her for collateral against him in FTL. All that to say, I don’t think Belle wrote the book in FTL. I don’t think that is how she spent her time working for Rumpel, from what they have showed us so far.
The pluses for August writing the book is that in this world he has a typewriter, he somehow knew about the book, when Mr. Gold is in his room we see a stack of pages that would lead us to believe he is working on more to add to the book, but if MM has had the book since as long as she can remember in SB and August has never been there, he said he traveled to a place that was 12 hours away on the other side of the world until Emma came, I don’t see him being the original writer of the book, especially since he was 7 when he traveled from FTL to this world.
I will say though, that it seems to me the book may have been written by someone in FTL and it is one of those objects that moved with the curse to this world. So, it could be that it was SW’s book, a history of FTL, so to speak kept in the castle. She still has her true love ring, why not the Storybook?
So what about Rumpel? It may just be me, but I don’t see Rumpel sitting down to write a Storybook to be used after the curse. In his spare time he was swinging deals, collecting ingredients for the curse and spinning on his spinning wheel to “forget” and make gold for payments for information.
That gets us to the Blue Fairy. For me this is the most plausible theory so far. The faeries have existed longer than Rumpelstiltskin. They have an order of sorts, and so for there to be a faerie who keeps the histories and that faeries might “report in” so to speak makes the most sense of how there could be so many years and tales covered. I however, don’t necessarily think the BF wrote it herself.
The fact that August went to talk with her and obviously he knows who the characters of SB are, means she could have informed him about the Storybook. Although that still wouldn’t explain why he brought the typewriter with him when he rode into town. You don’t just decide to be a writer one day and have a stack of papers like he did on his desk. So it is possible he began writing sometime during his growing up years in our world. Perhaps writing for pleasure. But he couldn’t have made the SB or added to it if he was around the world. So, it is interesting that when he came he added his story and the Golden Bird.
