Do you think Henry wants to go to FTL? We know he wants the curse broken and for the characters (especially his teacher/grandmother) to get their happy endings back, but what does He ry actually want for himself? Will he and Emma stay in the real world? Get an apartment in Boston? I do think Henry with Emma is the endgame, but like rumplegoldfan, I am hoping Regina’s relationship with Henry is not dismissed as meaningless. I think it is possible Regina will make some sacrifice for Henry in the end, her love for her child overcoming her hate. It is also possible she will realize, to her great pain that she is incapable of loving after what she has done.
[adrotate group="5"]I can sort of buy that David is supposed to be the anti-Charming. James has his “fearless bravery,” and David is anything but. Look at Thomas/Sean, though. Thomas was very loyal to Cinderella. Even after he found out the deal he had made with Rumplestiltskin, he didn’t turn away from her for a second. He said that magic may have brought them together, “but magic didn’t create this love.” (which rings true since both Rumple and the Genie stated the rule that magic can’t make somebody fall in love with you). In SB, Sean abandoned Ashley when he found she was pregnant.
Sean seems to have shaken off his loser-boy qualities and is not only supporting his child, but has committed to Ashley. Is David just taking a longer time to come around? How is it that Sean and Ashley get their happy ending in SB (happier than in FTL really) even under the curse?
I agree that everybody remembering at once would be less problematic than people here and there remembering and being looked at as crazy by those who don’t remember. Graham’s memories came back in bits and pieces and it made him think he himself was going crazy. (Think about it —- what if you suddenly started having memories that didn’t fit into the life you think you have —- especially if they are of a world that seems like total fantasy in our modern world.)
It will be interesting to see how relationships might change in light of Storybrooke events. Seriously, I don’t see how Snow can forgive Charming for losing faith in her and believing she would kill Kathryn. And of course I am very interested to see how the Regina/Henry/Emma triangle gets resolved.

On the other hand, both Henry and August appear to have total recall of FTL and individuals’ pre-curse abilities, relationships and happy endings. Neither is going crazy in SB. Their knowledge appears to be a comfort to them.
I’m not sure these are really good predictors of how the other FTL characters may respond. Henry did not have an existence in FTL so he can’t really be said to have “recall.” Unless you think SB Henry is actually Henry, Regina’s father reincarnated. Apart from the weird “I’m my own grandpa” aspect, that could have some interesting ramifications. Could it be Henry, the father trying in a weird way to save his daughter? He did seem to love her right to the end, even when he knew she was considering killing him. Or is Henry, the father seeking revenge on his daughter for murdering him? Since Henry’s heart was used to enact the curse, maybe his essence somehow made it through to the new world.
As far as August — I think it is still too early to tell what he actually knows about FTL. He has certainly made many pointed comments but we still don’t know if he existed in FTL, and if he did, how he came through to the real world outside of Storybrooke. So many questions!!!

You know I checked the list and maybe I missed it, but I don’t see it so here goes.
Can I be the keeper of the curse?
Can’t believe nobody grabbed that yet! Nice one.

Can I be the keeper of Snow’s cloak and boots? Love them. I would also like Dreamy’s pickax please. 😀
Sorry. Nemertes already called the axe. Gotta speak up quicker! 😉
Just thinking of the line in “Into the Woods” where, after leaving his latest conquest, the prince says, “I was raised to be charming, not sincere.” Poor Mary Margaret is inexplicably in love with a guy is just sort of an empty space walking around in her prince’s form.

That is what it means in English as well. Courage. Standing up to people. Just my first thought was literally Archie’s spine.
Maybe Regina has a rack of spines to go with her hearts. 😆
In one of the very early episodes (possibly the pilot) when Regina is first talking to Emma, doesn’t Regina say that Henry has had a hard time since she became mayor because it takes so much of her time? I suppose that could have just been an excuse to placate Emma and get her to leave town since Regina has been mayor “as long as anyone can remember.”
