Ethan Embry has been given a full name. It is Greg Mendell. Here is a link with the credits. http://onceuponatime-fans.com/
So Barrett was a fake name to throw us off. Most likely used because of David Barrett, one of the show’s directors.

What exactly does purchasing a commission mean? I know when commissioning something, its pretty much giving the authority to go foward with something, approval… right? But obviously his dad is high ranking military, so why would he have to “purchase” a commission? Hope this part of the story has a point.
A commissioned officer means that you have a much higher rank in the army. Rather than having gone to a military school, as many did back in the old days, you were awarded a high ranking position from government or people in power. So, Gerhart earned his military position whereas Victor’s was granted his based on his families high status within society. So he would be in charge of a troop and made important decisions without any actual experience based on his high status.
I don’t know about anywhere else, but here in Canada as an example, one can only be an Officer if they’ve have a University Degree. They are considered to be commissioned soldiers and start at a much higher rank than others. If education is less than that, they are called non-commissioned soldiers and can only rank so far up.

Probably a rerun on Jan, 27th & Feb. 3rd (Super Bowl Sunday). The academy awards are on Feb. 24th so nothing then. So we will probably only see 3 new episodes between now and the end of Feb. New episodes on Jan 20th, Feb.10th, & 17th.

Maybe Grandpa Frankenstein was the Black&White Rabbit 😉 But ya, I can see that Phee. Even with Victor. He and Jefferson seem to know each other quite well.

I’ve been saying since 2×05, The Doctor, that I believe it is Transylvania. The fact that his world is black and white, typical of the old ’30/40’s horror flicks. Looking at their attire and surroundings in that sneak peek, it’s all reminiscent of those horror flicks, which always take place at the turn of the century.
As in, real world Transylvania? The glitch there is that Horowitz tweeted that Viktor’s land did have magic, and we know you could get there via the hat. It’s been established that our world does not have magic, and it can’t be reached via the hat. Which makes the “real world” vibe from this sneak peek quite confusing.
Would they make it that they were originally in our world, and Viktor took his injured brother to another land to fix him, somewhere their father couldn’t get to? Seems a bit far fetched, but this White Rabbit talk got me wondering. If the pocket watch had belonged to the White Rabbit, and it was a portal device, similar to the hat, and if Viktor’s reaction to it in this sneak peek is because he’d heard stories of how it was used in the past, perhaps he’ll end up using it to take himself and Gerhart to another land. Perhaps?
No, I mean as in horror flick Transylvania, where monsters exist. If we can end up in the EF where storybook characters originate, then why can’t we end up in fictional movie Transylvania where werewolves, vampires, invisible men, mummies and Frankenstein exist. Or, just plain old horror folklore.
I like the idea of the pocket watch but the world in the sneak peek was black and white. That leads me to believe that Victor remained in that world but worked out of the “summer home” when reanimating his dead brother. HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean that Victor couldn’t have traveled between worlds looking for items he needed for his work. While I like the idea, I’m not totally sold on it. I think the whole point of that was to show that one son was the favourite and was rewarded with a treasured family heirloom while another got an unwanted commission in the army. But then again, they have to show us Gerhart dying and giving the watch to his brother Victor, so……………..oh, the possibilites! 😮 😀

Oh, is that what they call Castle Frankenstein, the summer home? 😆
Snow’s family had a “summer castle”, I think that’s where EQ ended up living? Summer residences on this show are built for creepy shenanigans.
Creepy shenanigans, I like that expressions! 😀

Hook-Emma so called interaction, it’s gross beyond everything. Is this, as they claim, a “family show”? I understand the writers are trying to feed the Hookers but this just lacks any taste.
What is it with so many people attacking the writers over little things-especially to do with Hook and Emma. If its not because they are ‘favouring Captain Swan’ then its ‘Hook has too many innuendos’. Anyway this show is rated PG -meaning Parental Guidance, which is pretty self explanatory. If it was rated G then yeah, I’d have a problem.
Gee, I thought he was talking about the “other” appendage, his right hand. I was waiting for him to say “hey Emma, pull my finger!”. JK 😉 😆

In Germany, it is given for 10 years of service or exemplary achievements. Looking back at Victor’s german officer’s coat in The Doctor and considering the setting of this video clip, sure sounds like Transylvania.
Carrying out the Legends of the Fall parallel even further since Pennsylvania might be a play on the word Transylvania, Barrett could be the youngest brother. I know in that movie he died, but maybe they just flip it around so that “Tristan” dies in OUaT.
Probably not, but Ethan Embry and David Anders look so much alike that I think they missed out on a big opportunity if they don’t make them related in some way.

I can’t imagine Pennsylvania having any significance. We’re not that exciting of a state outside of football and hockey…and lots and lots of woods. I wrote in the “Initial Reactions” thread that there really is no link that I can recall with The Wizard of Oz. I live in PA and the biggest thing I can think of is that he’s from Lancaster, which I can’t remember where I read that, and that the town is in the middle of the state, full of Amish people, and most people mispronounce it. I do know that PA has a lot of German decendents which might tie in with the Grimm brothers.
I’m thinking the plate is connected to Peter Pan. The 2k seems like take or took so the theory of it being “take flight” might make sense.
Pennsylvania has the Dutch Wonderland Amusement Park. Maybe there’s a connection to that? Maybe he’s the White Rabbit who came crashing through town. 😉 😀 😆

Here in Canada, the Silver Cross (Memorial Medal) is awarded to the immediate next of kin of a soldier who has given his life while in active duty.
In Germany, it is given for 10 years of service or exemplary achievements. Looking back at Victor’s german officer’s coat in The Doctor and considering the setting of this video clip, sure sounds like Transylvania.
