Jafar – bad guy in the Aladdin Disney movie. Ends up being tricked into wishing he had all the power of a genie, only to discover what being a genie is – a slave in a bottle. (“TREMENDOUS COSMIC POWER…. teeny weeny living space!”)
[adrotate group="5"]I think that Felix is just the next “Pan” – bit like the Dread Pirate Roberts.
If Neal is Peter Pan…. well, he clearly left Neverland and grew up, yeah? But Neverland is still (as far as we know) there. And there are still Lost Boys who need/want a leader. So the Pan mantle goes to the next one….
Still leaves room for Nealfire to be Peter Pan, while explaining this casting call.

Oh THAT’S where I’ve seen him. Have spent past 5 minutes trying to work that out! Thanks.

She was wielding a taser like it was a serious weapon, and it was ridiculous.
Hate to go all serious here, but a taser is a serious weapon. “Non-lethal” options open to law enforcement are not always non-lethal and something designed to inflict a lot of pain is certainly not safe.

She has experimented on magical items, she has this thing that can kill magical beings – logical answer is that is kills them by removing their essential spark of magic.

Moment of the night for me was Snow practicing with her bow and arrow
Loved that. Not least for the idea of target practice with loud music blaring. Love that song by Joan Jett. And that (practice something I like while listening to loud music – whether it’s knitting, or cross stitch, or the gym or… although this isn’t necessarily something I “like” but is good brain off stuff, cleaning the house!) is totes something I do!

it could have just been August saying she’s a murderer… he had just figured out that she murdered The Dragon
I think that’s more likely, and deliberately put in as misdirection because the writers knew we’d all run off screaming “MORGAN LA FEY!! CLEARLY!”
What do we know?
– she’s sneaky
– she has lied and manipulated to gain access to magic
– she’s using Neal to get closer to Storybrooke/magic
– she killed August to silence him
– she’s hooked up with Greg/Owen
– she knows magic exists and wants access to it
– she has some taser device that can kill magical beingsWhat don’t we know:
– is she a real world or FTL character?
– what is her agenda? August *assumed* she was here to steal magic – what if she wants access to it for some other reason? (Have to admit, kind of struggling to work out any other reason than appropriating it to justify the lengths she’s going to!)
– did she free Hook and bring him back to Storybrooke or was he gone before she got to the storage locker?
– how does she know Greg/Owen?The boundaries as far as the show as set them – because even in a mind-bender like Lost, Adam & Eddy do play by their own rules:
– people who are aware of magic have had some brush with it in the past
– most people in the real world cannot see magic – they fail to perceive it even when right in front of them (doctor in Hong Kong, Emma pre-curse breaking)
– people who have magic have so far all come from other lands
– not everyone from another land was brought here by the curse (although, admittedly, Baelfire/Neal is currently the only example of this that we know of…. so far)Alright, so what can we do with those pieces of information? What conclusions can we draw?
– Tamara is most likely from another world or has experienced magic in this world
– She is certainly using Neal – is she using Greg/Owen?
– She is not to be trustedThe “missing” characters from stories already used in OUAT:
– Alice
– Maid Marian (if Robin Hood is coming up soon – but she wasn’t magical)
– Morgana/Guinevere if Lancelot is any suggestion that the whole Arthurian myth is up for grabs
– Ariel and any other character from The Little Mermaid, like Ursula
– Dorothy
– Wendy
– Tinkerbell
– other Disney creations, like Tiana (I haven’t seen Princess and the Frog so no clue what that one is about – is it an updated version of the Frog Prince? Kiss a Frog and he turns into a prince?)@RumplesGirl wrote:
I found it equally creepy that Greg told her that he doesn’t need towels because he air dries as a conversational opener. People don’t normally tell total strangers about walking around naked after showering.
Err…. I assumed he was referring to air drying the towels, not himself.
