Maybe Emma has the magic of the wardrobe, transfered to her.

I think that Emma is pure magic. True love is the most powerful of all the magics and can't be created by chant or a potion. So I think that she is magic in its truest and most pure form. Gold respets that, as it is the one magic that he will never own by his hands. She is the unicorn of the story, so to speak. That doesn't mean that the rose that we admire in its beauty doesn't get cut to sit on our table, however! That just makes it fun!

As far as, Mulan and Aurora....hmmmm, my thoughts on this are bit more skewed then most. They both loved the same man. Mulan promised to protect Aurora, even at peril to herself. She is a warrior and holds her word as golden. She is a Ming dynasty fighter and has all the bravery and intent of a true Knight. So, she would keep her word to a fellow soldier and commander. As far as we can guess, he is (ducks from getting beaten on the Dis for forgetting his name!) the Captain that she ends up with.

Aurora tells Mulan they can get him back. I think Mulan has different motives and wants to get him back so she can love him in silence and so Aurora can be happy, but not her responsibilty anymore. His reserection will break the vow she made to protect her in his stead. Either that or they will just have to see who he really loves when faced with both women that have great value, but he sees and loves in different ways. One is his equal and one is his fairy tale princess, with all the weakness and protectiveness that we would expect from a Disney prince.

I do think that Mulan has realized that Aurora has more grit to her then just a pretty face, and respects that as another person, but not necessarly as another woman. She is finding out what he loved about her beyond the princess senario. I mean, they both sacrificed everything for others. Mulan by going to war and Aurora by accepting her fate to protect her kingdom. I don't see it as Mulan and Aurora are going to ride the lady train together, I see it as foes for a heart that time and circumstance have made see the better sides of each other. I don't see them as sisters in arms, but more like common goal seekers.

I think August is hiding from his father becuase of the theft of the money form Emma amd other things that eh did that went against what he was to do as the "Real Boy". He knew his father was healthy and safe during the curse, so its not like he is searching for him now, because he already knows.

I still think Bae is Henry's father and will come back for Emma, but the tension between Rumple and Emma will be a problem. I see him comming back just as Cora is about to be vanquished and giving us more juicy juice to keep our minds spinning

That, plus....
The storybook thatHenry had did mention the baby of Snow White and the Prince. Emma didn't know at that point that she was that baby.
I think that was the part Henry knew she was not ready for yet.

I must be the only one but I think Emma is Emma. She is Snow and Charmings daughter. I dont' think she has another identity. She didn't live in Fairytale land so not sure how she can be a fairytale character.

I agree.

Emma owes Gold a debt/favor. Will he ask her for her "magic" as payment - perhaps to help vanquish Cora/Hook?

I'm all for them bringing Prince Phillip back. He's super cute LOL. Love him on Pretty Little Liars!

[LKFan]

They just cast Rose McGowan as "Young Cora."

Neither did I, but I'm glad it is.

[PrincessSuzanne]

Yeah, the Fall/Winter/Holiday break is over, so most shows return to the regular new season this coming week and the sweps should be in February.

There is also a Once Marathon on Saturday night starting at 8pm, don't know what episodes will be shown though.

[Poohbug]

When I heard "marathon", I was thinking of more than three episodes. But they are playing "Broken", "The Crocodile" and "Tallahassee" tonight staring at 8pm eastern.

[palmtreegirl]

Just started watching this show last month, love it! I'm all caught up thanks to Netflix and a free trial of HuluPLus.

It's quickly become my favorite show!

Unfortunately for Fringe, it means series finale. DH and I have been watching that and it's down to the last 3 episodes . We have about 1-2 months to catch up on yet.

I hope season two will be on netflex soon

Not likely until this summer, the finale isn't until May. But, you can watch them on ABC.com
