Once Upon A Time

[KrazyPete]

Two reasons why I thought he was Henry's dad:

1) We've been told that we'll meet him at some point. And really, how is that supposed to happen unless Emma leaves Storybrooke or the father comes to Storybrooke. We won't be meeting him in a flashback unless he's an actual fairytale character which seems impossible.

2) The timing of it. Emma had just finished saying to Henry that she's glad that she told him (lied to him) about his Dad... and that's the exact moment when this mysterious stranger shows up? Just seemed too much of a coincidence...

That makes total sense. She probably would have played it cool at first hoping to get out of the situation without his identity being revealed in front of Henry. But that breaks down when she asks for his name.

File this thought away for later... Names are important. Snow and Charming weren't supposed to let Rumpel know their names when they were taken to visit him. The most excited we've ever seen him was when they started to walk away without giving him the baby's name. The beggar man made a point to tell Rumpel that the Dark One's name was on the dagger. That was replaced with Rumpel's name when he killed the Dark One. The plot of Rumpel's fairy tale centers on the miller's daughter finding out his name. So, is the "Mysterious Stranger" purposefully keeping his name a secret to prevent Rumpel(or anyone else) from having power over him?

LMGTFY... D23

Wait, what's LMGTFY?

 

[CarolinaBlue]

Oh nvm. Google is my friend.

23 refers to the year Walt Disney came to Hollywood and the Disney company was founded.

Good catch, my3sonsagn! Another Disney reference

It could also be another LOST reference........4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.

I thought I caught something last night so I looked it up and I'm thrilled to be right! The candy bar Jimminy Cricket brought down into the mine is the brand found in the underground hatch on Lost!

None of my family members watched Lost with me so when I yelled "that's the candy bar from Lost!" they thought I was nuts.

I was excited by this as well

If I have to Google "LMGTFY" for you it might create some kind of loop and crash the internet so I'm not going to.

The Apollo Bars made another appearance this week. We've seen MacCutcheon Whiskey on OUAT as well.

Its basically a passive aggressive way of saying do your own research.

My intentions were more playful than that but ok.

In OUAT News: Here's an interview with one of the show's producers.
Exclusive Interview: Adam Horowitz chats about ONCE UPON A TIME

A couple of clips:
"For us, Snow White is the cornerstone fairytale character. On a personal level, [SNOW WHITE is] the first movie I ever saw, it had a huge impact on me. To me, there’s something really powerful about that story, which is that it says no matter how horrible things get, true love can fix any problem and overcome any odds. And that hopeful message is something that we really keyed into as kind of the basis for this show, because ultimately for us, this show is about hope. It’s about how in a world where there are many, many challenges and tough times, if you can find hope, you can overcome anything."

"Once we started with the idea that we wanted to do Snow White, the initial concept of that was, what was her happy ending? Starting with that and then seeing where we go from there, and what would the Queen do in frustration at the end of that story? This is a Queen who lives in a land where she constantly loses, so to us, it was like, well, she’d want to go to a place where the rules are different and maybe she can win."

I think the big piece is that we don't know the pretenses for which Emma got pregnant... all we know it was a one night stand, he was a bad man and she never saw him again.... How old is Henry? If that was 12 years ago - that a long time - especially of she was intoxicated, at a Halloween/costume party or whatever else. I know its a family show but the writers are creative!!

Henry is 10, Emma is 28. She was in prison when she had him and she told Regina that the prison records were "juvi" meaning that she was a juvenile while she was pregnant and in prison.

Also

AX: Henry’s mother Emma, who doesn’t realize she’s the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, is obviously a crucial character. Is Henry’s father ever going to become significant?

HOROWITZ: Henry’s father is something we’ve talked about a lot and the fact that he’s not seen in the pilot or talked about – he’s only obliquely referenced once – we purposely put that in there, because that is a story, if given the opportunity, we would love to tell. We would love to get to it this season.

For LOST fans.....

This might have been mentioned before, but....I was looking over some trivia and came upon this:

At what time was the clock stuck on when Emma entered Storybrooke?

8:15......the same number as the Oceanic Flight that was LOST on its way from Sydney to LAX

Great find! I was really hoping when she picked up Emma's baby blanket and held it up to her nose, that she would remember something.

The photo from this episode, titled "Skin Deep", shows Emilie flanked by Sage Brocklebank, who we know will be playing Gaston.

That was actually caught very early in this thread. And the room key that Emma was given was for room 108.

Does anyone else think that it will be a long time before those two actually kiss though? True loves kiss seems to be a pretty powerful curse breaker in Fairytale land, and I'm wondering if when that happens is when the curse will really start to break down. Or maybe they will just remember their old lives (like happened to the sheriff when he kissed Emma) and really start helping in the fight against Regina.
