I don’t think Henry said people never came to SB. I think what he said is people don’t stay. So It is possible Mr. Clark gets deliveries if that’s the case. 🙂
Sorry, you had already revealed the truth about Gaston, and I missed it because I didn’t see page 2 until my post went up 🙂
@ cruel-fortuna
the link at roneyzone media for the tree:)http://ouat.roneyzone.com/where-have-we-seen-the-storybrooke-tree-before/
THE APPLE TREE IS A GOOD THOUGHT AS WELL SINCE REGINA RUNS THE TOWN, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE ISIGNIA WOULD INCLUDE AN APPLE SOMEHOW. ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT THE TREE BY THE WELL COMPARED TO REGINA’S APPLE TREE, SEEMS LIKE THE ETCHING/INSIGNIA/ETC. SO FAR LOOKS MORE LIKE THAT TREE. BUT I HAD NOT THOUGHT OF THE APPLE TREE, SO THAT DEFINITELY BECOMES A POSSIBILITY.
Some comments I found and copied for your consideration from
http://ouat.roneyzone.com/ouat-insteresting-tidbits-about-mr-august-wayne-booth/#commentsHillary: “I found this interesting… It states that a friend of the Grimm Brothers was named August. Also, this supports the theory that the Grimm’s may have something to do with the Storybrook library…”
From Wikipedia: “In 1808, Jacob Grimm was appointed court librarian to the King of Westphalia. In 1812 the brothers published their first volume of fairy tales, Tales of Children and the Home. They had collected the stories from peasants and villagers; they were also aided by their close friend August von Haxthausen. In their collaboration, Jacob did more of the research, while Wilhelm, less sturdy in stature and intellect, put the work into a literary form that would appeal to children and the masses. They were also interested in folklore and primitive literature. In 1816 Jacob became a librarian in Kassel, where Wilhelm was also employed. Between 1816 and 1818, they published two volumes of German legends and a volume of early literary history.”

August is obvious
Haxthausen – house=shelter=boothWhatif wrote: August Von Haxthausen was the collector of the German Folklore songs that the Brothers Grimm used in writing their stories. This is why we see OUAT August VARNISHING the parchment in order to preserve the art work and using the sturdiest and most painstaking means of binding the stories in his copy. Stories of the real life August said he took great detail in insuring his stories he collected lasted long after him. OUAT August is documenting the rest of the story, thus his appearance when Emma stays. The real life August collected stories from soliders, I suspect this one is here to do the same.
A funny little sidebar, if you goggle pictures of the true August Von Haxthausen, his facial hair is even groomed in the same manner as the OUAT August.
I (SJM) LIKED THESE THOUGHTS. I KEEP WONDERING IF HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN THE COURT IN THE PILOT WRITING THINGS DOWN OR SOMETHING. I WILL HAVE TO REVIEW 😀

What I find really funny about Gaston was that he waited a couple of months till he tried rescuing Belle. I assume he was practicing his entrance.
😆 😆 😆 I do not doubt this. It would be completely in character for Gaston to think about how to make his entrance over how he should rescue Belle. 😆
I am totally laughing at that entire notion right now. I totally agree.
My first thought when Belle clipped the rose was also that she was cutting off Gaston’s feet. I ws horrified at the thought, but only because I was thinking he might be returned to his prior self.I understand from some blog stalking that Jane Espenson who penned this particular episode and did a live chat afterward confirmed that Gaston was indeed turned into the rose — not his sword, nor was he transported. Ahh, de-parting is such sweet sorrow.
Just want to say that I for one absolutely loved the transformation Kathryn took during the Storybrooke part of the tale. She went from someone I highly suspected as being in cahoots with the queen and kind of a manipulated, zombie-like character to a woman that was enlightened, perhaps not to the fullest extent of realizing what is happening, but to the extent of understanding love when she saw it (in the picture of James and Mary Margaret) and knowing she wanted that kind of happiness for herself and then even went a step further in wishing it for David and MM. It was kind of like her character woke up and came to life in this episode. Did you see Regina’s face as Kathryn talked and then hugged her telling her what a great friend she was? All I saw was Regina thinking “my plan is falling apart here, how can I salvage this?” Her lips were pursed despite the smile. Anyway, all that to say that Kathryn definitely won me over a little and Abigail won me over a lot (although a bit stiff in the FTL).
I admit I am a bit bewildered as to what may have happened to Kathryn when trying to leave Storybrooke and wonder how much Regina has to do with it, but I kind of hope she left the car on her own and is wandering in the woods where perhaps she will fall in a hole and find something that jogs her memory of FTL. She’ll probably wind up at the cabin. LOL. It’s funny to me that there is a cabin in SB and FTL and that there was a cabin in LOST … those writers 😉
So I have done a little stalking on other blogs and at roneyzone they have a wonderful little article about where else we have seen the tree…
1) It is on the door of the police car in the insignia
2) It is on the design of the police badge given to Emma by Graham
3) It is etched on the vase in David and Kathryn’s home when they are eating dinner (Skin Deep)So obviously this tree or a tree is important.
Also found in my digging around that Nostos (in OUAT ep13 the siren was in Lake Nostos) is a Greek word meaning “homecoming” and is a theme used in Homer’s Odyssey, so I feel sure this perhaps goes with the something lost being found idea (a homecoming of sorts). A siren is also present in Homer’s Odyssey.
One last note, and I may a bit naive here, but after James coming to the lake and the switch back to Storybrooke and the stranger taking Emma to the well, my initial and automatic reaction was that the water from the well came from Lake Nostos. I couldn’t figure why they would make such a big deal about the lake in FTL and then show us the well in SB if there was not a connection.
I am still thinking that we have not seen the EQ use a mirror prior to the genie, so I am still for placing it after the genie enters the mirrors. Of course, if we wait just a little bit maybe we will see an episode with a mermaid which the EQ referred to at the end of “Skin Deep.” If we see who else is involved in that episode — PC, SW, the dwarves, etc… then I suppose we will be better able to place the time of this episode
