Phee wrote: I noticed that the tumblr post has a date of the 18th on it.
We also had some tweets on Aug. 17 and 18, from Ginnifer Goodwin that there was a night-time shoot which was closed to the public. Another post on tumblr reports that Josh Dallas, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Jamie Chung were doing a shoot in Burnaby Mountain Park on Friday, August 17 (i.e. the night shoot that Ginny tweeted about). http://lexijeter.tumblr.com/day/2012/08/21/ So, the photo of the hut was probably from the set where Jamie Chung (aka Mulan) was filming.
We know now that Ginnifer, Josh, and Jamie were finishing up filming in a destination set location on August 17. The other information we know is that Robert Carlyle and Colin O’Donoghue (Captain Hook) were simultaneously filming together for two days solid for episode 4 (based on a tweet from Robert on August 19). We know it’s for episode 4, because that is when Captain Hook is set to appear.
There are two possibilities. If filming for episode 3 ended completely on August 15 (as hjbau speculated), Mulan will appear in episode 4. However, it could also be the case that filming for episode 3 ended on August 17 for Ginnifer, Josh, and Jamie while filming for episode 4 started that day for Robert and Colin. Either way, we’re going to see Mulan (one of my favorite heroines)!

After a quick search on wiktionary, I discovered the the word “milha” is Portuguese for a thousand. It also means a “mile” as in a unit of measurement. Perhaps Milha travels many miles in search of adventure. Additionally, the word milha can mean maize straw. Perhaps the name could refer to her hair as being the color of straw. Finally, milha also means “chiliad” which is English for: 1. A group that contains 1,000 elements or 2. One thousand years; a millennium. We know that Rumpel is centuries old, so the Milha could have significance for her age it terms of the passage of time.
The name Beaman is a common last name of Old English origin which described one who is a “beekeeper.” It also just occurred to me that Beaman could be deciphered as “be a man.” Whereas Rumpel’s wife presumably left him for being a coward, perhaps she ran off with someone who could “be a man” in her eyes (e.g. Captain Hook).

More confirmation that Robert Carlyle and Colin O’Donoghue are a great pair and working together for 2 days striaght:

Found that image on Tumblr last week. http://tiffphany.tumblr.com/post/29696962181/once-upon-a-time-season-2-set-mulan

If you google “Chinese hut,” you’ll see that the above picture does resemble it. Here is an example of a traiditional Chinese hut:
However, it also occurred to me that the hut might be Rumpel’s. So, I re-watched a segment of Desperate Souls, and Rumpel’s hut looked different from the one in the photo. His hut was primarily made of stone and this one is made from wood (possibly bamboo). So, I’m about 99% sure the hut isn’t his and is probably Mulan’s hut.[attachment=1:1h1aeuyv]Screen Shot 2012-08-20 at 12.21.35 PM.png[/attachment:1h1aeuyv] My main reason for thinking the photo comes from 2×3 is that I know the actress who plays Mulan, Jamie Chung, was still on set when 2×3 was being filmed, based on the tweets from Julian Morris. So, it’d make sense for Mulan to appear in that episode and for that to be her house.

Another set photo. Looks like a small village. One theory is that it could be Mulan’s village. This episode’s fairy-tale flashbacks could possibly feature the warrior heroine.
Filming with Prince Phillip, Princess Aurora, and Mulan just ended last week. Julian Morris tweeted pics of his last day onset with co-stars, Jamie Chung (Mulan) and Sarah Bolger (Sleeping Beauty/Princess Aurora). It suggests all three characters may appear in an episode together (perhaps in SB):

It’s not clear exactly which site will feature the podcast. It’ll probably be available on iTunes, and maybe on the official ABC Once Upon a Time website. The announcement was made via Facebook.

Elle:I’m thinking that Hook is going to cause the group to sort of split-apart. He may be able to use Regina.
I like this theory a lot. The only reason I said he may seduce Regina (or will at least try to) is because he’s described in the casting call as a bit of a ladies’ man, and Regina seems lonely now that Henry and Graham are gone from her life. Hook and Regina are both equally brutal and ruthless, which led me to surmise that they could become an item (at least a one-time thing).
Anyway, there is confirmation that filming for episode 4 is under way! Colin O’Donoghue tweeted that he’s “strapped on his hook” and is filming with the venerable Robert Carlyle! There is clearly some connection between the two characters, Captain Hook and Rumpelstiltskin, since we saw the promo in which the pirate broke into Mr. Gold’w pawn shop and stole his hook back.
Also, this episode is going to have what could be some big reveal, as indicated by the “closed set” with no photography. Ginny Goodwin (Snow White) tweeted a picture with the message “ironic” (probably because it was a night shoot, and any candid photos from far off wouldn’t have turned out well):
I’m really hoping that the big reveal isn’t that Henry’s dad is Captain Hook! I know it’d be far-fetched (not to mention unpopular). It’s just an annoying thought in the back of my mind. Emma said the father was “no hero” and that Henry didn’t need to know the real story. Is Emma trying to protect Henry? Could Captain Hook side with Regina in an effort to get custody of Henry? I’m hoping this is just a wacky thought, and that Henry’s dad is someone else completely.

Phee wrote: Michael Raymond-James’ mystery character could be Jack of course, but again, why not just reveal that? Unless Jack is someone significant like Bae, whose face they’d wanna keep secret.
That’s an interesting point. Why go to the trouble of keeping the character identity secret unless he’s someone significant?
Phee wrote:Whoever else MRJ may be, I’m really starting to think that he’s (also) gonna be Henry’s father. With Charming seemingly easily stepping into a father figure role, judging by set pics, especially those new pics of them play sword fighting, it would add some tension to the storyline of that newly forming relationship if Henry’s bio-dad showed up in town around the same time. Oh wow, new crackpot theory…
I could definitely see a potential rivalry between PC and Henry’s birth-father, especially if the bio-dad turns out to be “no hero,” as Emma claimed. I just think that there’ll be a build-up over time. It seems like the writers would at least want to spread that story arch out over several episodes. Perhaps they’ll just introduce this guy as a new “stranger” scenario, but wait for the big reveal half-way through the season. We haven’t seen any footage of Jennifer Morrison or Ginny Goodwin for the filming of episode 2×2 or 2×3, leading many to speculate their characters are missing from SB. Perhaps with Emma out of town and Henry in PC’s care, that opens the door of possibility for Henry’s dad to appear on the scene without fear of Emma identifying him. Then, when Emma returns, the big reveal will happen. ❗ I actually love this theory!
Elle wrote:Belle (I think) won’t betray anyone, either. True she may be darker in season 2, but I don’t think it will be to the point of where she will betray everyone. She deeply loves Rumpelstiltskin, and it makes no sense that she would help the woman who imprisoned her–unless Regina was somehow able to control her without her knowledge.
I wasn’t suggesting that Belle would try and betray Rumpelstiltskin to Regina. Rather, if it suited Rumpel’s plans to betray everyone else in SB (like the Charmings), he’d do it for his son’s sake, and Belle could become his accomplice. We’ve already seen him create the dark curse to follow his son to our world. Rumpel’s on his own side, against Regina and possibly against everyone else. It could quick become a “every man-for-himself” scenario.
Elle wrote:I can’t picture The Blue Fairy. No matter how much damage she had done, she still has helped in the battle against Regina. It wouldn’t make sense for her to suddenly change sides–though we have seen her to do what she feels is best for everyone. She may feel the need to turn on everyone for what she deems to be the greater good.
I don’t think the BF would side with Regina either; after all, we saw the BF go to great lengths to commission a wardrobe for Emma, the savior. The BF could, however, totally have her own secret agenda. One theory is that the BF wanted Rumpel to create the dark curse, because the Enchanted Forest was running out of magic. Everyone knows Rumpel has a lot of power, but the BF is called the “original power” for a reason, although we don’t yet know exactly what that means. In her own mind, she could be acting for the “greater good” but the other fairy-tale characters might not view that way, and thus would consider it a “betrayal.” Again, just a theory.
Phee wrote:We know August saw her in Storybrooke before he went to see Mr Gold. I believe that it was a case of Pinocchio tracking down BF, someone powerful who he’d known personally in FTL, someone who had helped him before, because he was at a loss about what to do next and needed advice. Lucky for him, she had her memories and some information for him.
That makes total sense. I’ve always thought the BF kept her memories in tact by using her own magic to ward off the effects of the dark curse. Those may have been her last minute “preparations” just before the curse reached the castle.
Elle wrote:But Hook could be the one that turns people against one another–they are building him up to be a smart villain. He could be the one to trick one of the characters.
That’s a very interesting theory. From the casting call description, Captain Hook is supposed to have the manners of an old-school gentleman but is also supposed to be ruthless. It’d be interesting if he tries to befriend Snow’s gang and then betrays them all to Regina. I could totally see Regina being seduced by this cunning pirate, who could also play Regina for his own purposes against Rumpelstiltskin. (I have a theory that Rumpel and Hook are rivals going back centuries because Hook stole Rumpel’s wife). The one downside to this theory is that the spoiler says the Benedict Arnold betrays his/her “own kind”, and though Hook is from a fairy-tale, he comes from Neverland and not the Enchanted Forest. We’ll see.
AntBee wrote:Yes, I didn’t like Rumple taunting Regina like that because it certainly seemed like something that would come back to haunt him now that they’re still trapped in Storybrooke, and Regina has her magic too now.
Now that the dark curse has been broken, it may be possible for everyone to leave SB. Just because Rumpel brought magic to town, doesn’t necessarily mean the characters are trapped. Perhaps magic will spread beyond the town boarders to the rest of the world. That could be what brings Baelfire to town as he tracks the source of magic! If he’s still alive, he’d certainly recognize the use of magic to be from another world, and he’s probably want to know how it came to a land without magic. 💡
