The Stranger-Once Upon a Time first thoughts podcast

A lot of people are saying, “I was right!” right now, and some of us are, too.

Thank you, Jakob Davies, for being a great Pinocchio and for leaving such a nice voicemail for the podcast!

Initial reactions

These are just our first thoughts about this Once Upon a Time episode, and we’ll share more in our upcoming full episode.

Some of our interesting discussion points (in no particular order):

  • Special thanks to Jakob Davies!
  • August is Pinocchio—a lot of people were right, a lot were wrong.
  • We see exactly what August added to Henry’s book.
  • Emma and August and leave Storybrooke.
  • The Blue Fairy lied, and what kind of “final preparations” does she make with the other faires?
  • Pinocchio was told, “Remain brave, truthful, and unselfish. So long as you do that, you will remain a real boy.”
  • Mary Margaret was awesome with Regina. It’s almost like Mary Margaret is becoming the Snow White we know.
  • David is honorable and doesn’t fall for Regina’s seduction. This reminds us of James with the Siren.
  • Geppetto remembers what Jiminy did, and says it’s a debt that can never be paid.
  • Will Emma and Henry be able to leave Storybrooke?
  • Daniel and Jeremy’s clean-comedy podcast episode that involved a story about Once Upon a Time.

We gave everything a brief overview and would love to hear your thoughts! Start talking about “The Stranger” in our Once Upon a Time forums.
