Mine came out as:
1. Rumple
2. Regina
3. Emma
4. Henry
5. Nealwith Belle, Snow, and Charming coming in next. Felix was last. A reasonably accurate ranking, although the truth is I really like ALL of the characters.
[adrotate group="5"]Here’s my own personal theory: Blue really did die, but there’s still the chance she can be revived. I think Tink will possibly revive Blue by believing in her: think the classic “I do believe in fairies. I do, I do” bit from Peter Pan. And in return for Tink reviving her, Blue will give Tink back her wings. So Blue could be brought back to life, while the rest of your Sneak Fairy conspiracists still get to continue your cute like crack. =p
I agree. The first thing I thought of when I saw her killed was the scene you cited from Peter Pan where Tink is revived by belief. I think they may have foreshadowed it a bit last week with Wendy’s comment to Tinker Bell that, “I believe in you, Tink.” We all just have to clap our hands!
I also think it made sense that Pan wanted to get rid of Blue because she is the most powerful practitioner of good magic and might have been a major threat to him, especially if he learned more about her from Henry’s book. And I still maintain that Blue is good, not sneaky! I recently saw a book about why otherwise intelligent people sometimes believe in conspiracy theories. Perhaps I should read it to understand the weight of opinion against poor Blue! 8>)
I found a sighting which is appropriate for this holiday season. Jared Gilmore was in a 2009 movie called A Nanny for Christmas. His mom and his sister also appeared in one scene.
Since my previous post on this topic, I recently read Fin & Lady by Cathleen Schine. It’s an emotional story of siblings and adoption.
Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter by Thomas Cahill is nice little introduction to many literary contributions from ancient Greece, including some of the myths we have seen on Once.
I haven’t been to Vancouver but friends who have taken the train in Canada tell me it’s great. I’ve been on the Amtrak Coast Starlight and Empire Builder trains which go to Seattle and found it wonderful – good food, good wine, and so much more relaxed than flying.
I agree. I think Jared is a great actor personally. I’ve never disliked his performance of Henry. But him playing Pan and him playing evil are two different things. If it were him playing evil, I would have no problem. But since its him playing Pan… I’m a bit worried. Robbie Kay is a fantastic actor and Henry has to match that…. Idk >> lets just all have faith.. But I am loving all this drama tho
Yes, just imagine if some magic put Rumple in a different body and they had to get another actor to play Rumple. Who could do it? I frankly can’t think of anyone that would make me forget Robert Carlyle – I’d be yelling at the screen the whole time, “That’s not Rumple!”, no matter how good the actor. I fear they may face the same problem with Pan.
Yes they fooled the agency, but I think the point is they shouldn’t have been able to because shouldn’t have been able to use any of his legal clout as he doesn’t have any.
I think he does. Just as the curse gave Dr. Whale a knowledge of modern medicine, and Granny knowledge of how to make a hamburger, I think it gave Gold all the knowledge he needs for sneaky deals. He might or might not know of specific individuals to contact in the outside world (who would change with time) but he would have some way of finding people who could satisfy his needs.
I agree – I hope the fans are kind to him. Not only does he have big shoes to fill, given Robbie Kay’s outstanding portrayal of Pan, but he also has to overcome the fact that for two and a half years we’ve all been used to associating the face of Henry with innocence and kindness. To ask him to now make the audience see evil in that face after everyone is so familiar with his previous character is a lot to ask of any actor, let alone a 13 year old. There’s a reason actors dread getting typecast; sometimes even a great performance can’t overcome an audience’s expectations. Sure, Robert Carlyle or Lana Parilla could pull it off, but they have decades more experience than he does.
I’m sure Adam and Eddy must have confidence that he can do a pretty good job or they wouldn’t have written it this way. Let’s hope the fans keep their expectations reasonable and remember that he will probably give a performance better than most 13 year olds could give, even if it’s not up to the level of the older cast members.
Greek and Latin. My education focus in the Greco-Roman world and its relationship to the earliest forms of Christianity.
Small world, Rumple’s Girl! I know a bit of Latin and Greek myself, but in my case it’s strictly a hobby so I’m not very good at it. To be honest, my Latin is a bit rusty and I’ve only started learning Greek. Loving ancient Greek and Roman literature, I wanted to try to read them in the originals, instead of translations. That love of classical literature, along with fairy tales, is part of what attracted me to Once in the first place.
I always wanted to learn Norse, storyteller. Maybe someday I’ll get around to it and read the sagas in their original language!
Of course, I want to learn French too. Then I could really enjoy this movie!
Having rewatched the episode, I’m actually okay with the adoption thing now. Gold handed Regina an A4 size brown envelope which could easily contain falsified reports and references etc. That could explain why the adoption agent didn’t question too much, if everything looked legit and official as he expected it to, why would he question it.
I also think there may be more to the story by the way Robert Carlyle delivered his line in that scene. He said, “I uh, spoke,
to an adoption agency…” He said it with a pause and a strong emphasis on the word “spoke” as if there was a lot more to it than he was saying. Not at all the way one would make a casual remark like, “I spoke to an adoption agency…” I do think we’ll see that there’s more to be shown here since there are so many things still unexplained, primarily Pan’s picture of Henry.
