    I thought Wendy’s fictional London was the land without magic.

    Wendy’s London wasn’t fictional. She was from our world. Alice was from fictional London which we don’t know whether that place had magic or not.

    So, I’d say our world certainly has some sorts of magic.

    I agree… Unless the dragon guy brought his own magic with him or magical items.

    Today I rewatched the last episode and had the exact opposite thought. If I am not mistaken, in the eyes of everyone else, Rump has been doing fairly well. He was very heroic in NL, sacrificed his life to save them all from Pan, and was under the witch’s control for the majority of 3B so most of that was not his fault. He lost his son, married, Belle, gave Henry a job. I mean, from their perspective Rump really has turned over a new leaf and I see no reason why they’d be distrustful of him at this stage in the game. A lot of the shady things he HAS done (killing Zelena, the Hook and and Ingrid situations) were all kept under wraps up until that point. Even Regina said it in the car conversation. She thought he had changed. I think everyone else did too. So to me, its not surprising they were shocked. What is surpisjg to me was the conversation between Hook (being compelled by Rump) and Emma where Emma basically says something similar to how Rump can’t be trusted or that he changed or something. It just didn’t feel right because of after all that had gone on in the last season or so. She’s acting like Rump has been maniacally evil when he has been good for awhile. If this were season 1 or 2, id understand. But Rumpel has changed, well HAD changed at one point.

    I should mention that the idea of Ursula and Triton being siblings was originally thought of for the original Disney movie, too. There’s a deleted part of the opening song “Fathoms Bellow” on the DVD that mentions it. They just decided to re-explore the idea for the Broadway musical.

    Also Ursula and Triton being the children of Poseidon is mentioned in the Broadway show. In the tv series I believe triton is the son of Neptune, but ya know, tomato, tomahto.

    Well Rump has SOME knowledge of our world. He was still regular old Mr. Gold for about 28 years who had no memory of who he was until he heard Emma’s name. So the only real problem he could face is money since he can’t conjure up any or soon any gold. Plus he can’t steal with his limp. I’m just going to assume that since Gold is a very wealthy man, he still has some cash and credit cards on him that are valid. He was planning to leave SB so I think his wallet should be readily prepared. He could be living at Neal’s place too. We have to remember Gold was already planning to leave SB, just not alone, so he had to have some plan.

    possibly recurring role

    Also, this means we see him in more than one episode right? Interesting..

    so unless there’s some recessive albino gene that Ariel got lumped with, there’s just no way I can buy a genetic link there

    In the Broadway show, Ariel’s family is a big interracial rainbow. Her father is black, Ursula (her aunt) was white but also had a black understudy. She had two black sisters, as well as an Asian, Hispanics, etc and if you look closely none of them even have the same hair color or tail design. So it has been done before. For all we know, Triton and Athena (Ariels mother) could be white/hispanic and so could Poseidon’s wife/Ursula’s mother. My issue with them having Ursula and Ariel being related isn’t more so about race but about how they should have introduced or at least hinted at it when Ariel was on the show in S3 if that is what they are going to do. Then I’d have less of a hard time believing it. There is always the theory that Ursula revealed herself to Regina after supposedly going unseen for a thousand years is because she didn’t want anybody to *bleep* with her niece. But then one must wonder why Ursula didn’t restore Ariel’s voice.

    Side question: Was anyone really distracted by Cruella’s accent? What was that? German, Russian?

    Yes. I had to rewind her first line many times before I actually understood what she said. It sounded like another language, like she was mushing her words together. But someone in chat, I forget who, suggested its to indicate she’s a drunk and slurring her words so I chose to go with that. Dont know how to explain them eyebrows though 😛
    As for being a shape shifter, I’m iffy. We’ve seen Regina shapeshift into a rat (1×02) and Mal is a dragon of course. Why would Cruella need to wear what she wants to change into in order to change into them? Plus, unless I’m mistaken, her coat doesn’t look like a puppy fur coat. And then what does that mean for Pongo, what’s his role in this? Sorry, just thinking out loud. Idk. We don’t even see Cruella do any actual magic during any of her scenes and if A&E hadn’t said she was a witch then I would question it. I am literally drawing a blank as to what can be so special about her and her furs. Hmmm…. Maybe she wants to be the ultimate shapeshifter and to do that she has to consume 100 of any particular animal she wants to change into while its still a baby.

    Loving this! Partially because I love Ursula and TLM and cant wait to see it expanded more on OUAT, partially because I am so happy to see more POC’s….and partially because I am interested in seeing a mermen :3 Let’s go Poseidon! Hopefuly we see King Triton as well 😛

    now, I am not a wiccan or pagan, but this really urks me beyond words. Like, first I’m pretty sure the magic she portrays in her books goes against MOST religions and spiritualties in the world. Not all, but most. Even if magic works differently than in Wicca, why can’t there be students of the wiccan faith who believe what they believe but still have and use magic? I just can’t even process why this just rubs me the wrong way >> JK Rowling could have just said there are students in Hogwarts who have all kinds of faiths and religions. ALL kinds. And just left it at that.
    I am not a happy sorceress.
