I think this is a really clever idea, but the it does pose the question: what are the beans for. In Tiny they show the dwarves and Anton planting them and I think it was deliberate. I still think we’ll see the magic beans and portal again this season. And if they just move SB, it renders the beans moot, and sort of makes the episode Tiny seems really insignificant.

Maybe Baelfire and the gang will use the beans to get to Neverland.

Seems like I’m the only one who wasn’t particularly bothered with the scene.
To me, these are just words – he has never ever tried to redeem himself, none of his actions were ever selfless and he’s only saying all that now BECAUSE he’s dying and for no other reason.

I don’t think his words were hollow, I think that for the first time in a long time, he was being completely honest and vulnerable, which is a good thing, because he typically has a facade up, but this situation forced him into letting it down. He needs to go to this place emotionally, in order for him to progress emotionally. I’m looking forward to how this affects his relationship with Nealfire, who has now seen him in a completely unexpected light.

Agreed with everything said here. I never said Mr. Gold had done anything to achieve redemption; I said he wants to atone for things now that he’s dying. This could be the jolt he’s been needing for centuries. One could call it a “death bead conversion” which could lead to him changing for the better if he survives which we know he does. This could be achieved if he loses his powers as the dark one in a way we don’t even expect. Although I think his real struggle would be if he survives with his dark powers in tact; then he’ll have to decide again whether to choose magic or love of his family.

As for the last sneak peek, I’m actually fed up with how clueless Regina’s become. It’s irritating to see the writers stupefying her like that, it doesn’t fit with the character we’ve known for that long. Even if the writers come up with some excuse for that, I will still consider it bad writing.

I’m not even an EvilRegal and it irritates me how completely she seems to have succumbed to Cora. Hopefully by the end of this ep, she’ll have had a wake up call.

[/quote] Totally agreed. Regina is still the victim of Cora’s abusive maternal hold on her daughter. I have hope though that Regina will realize how twisted her mother is. I could see this happening if Cora were to threaten Henry, and Regina would never let anyone harm a hair on her son’s head (except for when she accidentally caused Henry to eat a poinsed apple, but I think she’s grown since then, hopefully). I could see Regina realizing that Cora was only using Regina to get more power.

Ohhhhhh! ❗ SB could be like Brigadoon, the vanishing Scottish town that would only appear every century for a day. It could have been a major hint/clue about SB vanishing and why the residents of SB must flee to Neverland! 😮

You can read more about Brigadoon here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadoon#Synopsis

Clip 4: My heart can’t take it. Dying Rumple wants to repent and atone for all he’s done, but he can’t, because his death is neigh. 😥 😕 😥 And Emma and Neal steal sidewards glances at each other as they each realize that all that matters is they love each other the way Rumple loves Belle. *Sobbing* 😥

Clip 5: Darn you, Cora! You are indeed wicked! 👿 Right as she’s about to crush Cora’s heart, I want Snow to Say, “My name is Snow White, and you killed my mother. Now, prepare to die!”

She’s very cute and if she wants to get together with anyone besides Neal (or any of the other already taken men in town) then more power to her and welcome aboard!! Until then….step away from the NealFire.

I almost don’t want Tamara to be so nice and sympathetic, so that I can automatically discount her from being a good match for Bae. I really want her to be someone untrustworthy, like Greg’s HER, who might just be using Baelfire to get to SB.

More BTS photos, this time of Neal and Tamara. She seems nice and pretty, but that girl needs to get a hint; Neal still loves Emma! 🙄

Phee: Good idea with the book. August obviously has answers to questions we probably haven’t even thought of yet, and if he slips Emma some knowledge about another character or another land (Neveland?) then the book is the first logical place to look. And I’m really glad to see it! Feels like it’s been way too long.

I’ve missed August. Too bad he basically no longer exists, except for in the future when young Pinocchio grows up again. This must be the writers’ way of prolonging the inevitable, because August must know who authored the book. For a while, I thought August could’ve written it, since we saw him adding a different ending to his own story, but now I’m not so sure. But just maybe he is the author, and he whispers to Emma he wrote it just before he become a child again. Or, if he didn’t write the book, maybe he will whisper to Emma a hint as to who did (cough, Blue Fairy).

In the sneak peak of Rumple and Cora, Cora tells Rumple that she’s 5th in line to be Queen (I am hearing that correctly, yes?). Who stands in between her? She said it would be a lot of bloodshed. If Henry Sr is the 5th son, who are the other 4? Slurpeez, you may be right that George is perhaps one (if not the heir), making Regina his niece.

Yes, Henry and George could be brothers! That would make a lot of sense why Cora poisoned George’s wife to be barren! Cora didn’t want him to have an heir, which would make her even less likely to become queen one day.

In other news, Eva was a b!tch, but I kinda like that they’ve done that, because it makes her doom all the more tragic. I’m guessing that whatever plays out with Cora is what forced Eva to change her ways. So Eva became good because of Cora, then Cora killed her for having been horrible.

I am tired of the inconsistency of the characterizations… a person does not become GOOD for no reason after being such a snot… never see it in real life … cannot see it in stories… NEVER HAPPENS… PETTY PEOPLE do not improve.

PLEASE OUAT be more consistent in your characterization !!!! Use the same writers for the same characters.

NONNIE

I couldn’t disagree more. People can and do change for the better. While you may not intend it, your outlook condemns people to live vapidly forever, yet I have witnessed people I know change for the better as they mature and learn some hard life lessons. Something must have happened between The Miller’s Daughter and The Queen is Dead to transform Princess Eva from a haughty princess into a magnanimous queen. Something tragic could have happened to Eva, just like Eva’s own untimely death changed Snow White from a vain princess into a compassionate leader.

Seeing as Cora successfully spins straw into gold, I think she must’ve made a deal with Rumple before she attended the ball. He must’ve been teaching her magic already.

Yep. Interesting twist to have her spin the straw right there in front of everyone, but it fits with what Henry Sr has said about her having known Rumple before she knew him.

Yes, it does.

Also, the clip of Eva and Cora confirms that Eva was just a guest (and potential rival wife) for Prince Henry. Awkward.
