Once Upon A Time

[LKFan]

And the writers have done it, I'm starting to feel badly for Regina- who's Mother IS the Miller's daughter.... did you hear Rumple say he "held her as a baby"

Did you hear that he held her when she was more "portable"? I wonder if Rumple carried Regina from one land to another.

Going with monkeybug's theory, maybe Rumple is Regina's and Snow's true father.

If you are posting from the East coast and the West coast hasn't watched it yet then I think it is fair to hide a spolier although someone on the West coast really shouldn't read this forum if they don't want to know what happened.

The day after the show, people should feel comfortable posting theories about what happened in black text.

I did have the thought last night that maybe Rumple was Regina's father. That maybe he was Regina and Bae's father and then his wife (Cora) left him and took the baby girl with her. Perhaps Regina and Bae are even twins? Probably not, but just a thought.

I can't figure out the timeline among the events of when Rumple and Bae are poor and living in the cottage, Rumple gets all the magic and power, Bae goes to a new world and Rumple introduces Regina to the magic.

My other thought went back to the original Rumple story. Didn't he spin the straw into gold in exchange for the promise of a first born child? Perhaps he is not Regina's or Snow's true father but they belonged to him in a sense.

Boy is Rumple upset. I think his plan was to leave Storybrooke to search for Bae. Not gonna happen

Maybe he's one of the 3 little (chauvinist) pigs.....

On second thought... Maybe he is Georgie Porgie. He keeps going around kissing the girls and they all seem to cry.

Do they ever show the spelling of his name on the show? Maybe he's Dr. Wail?

Such a good episode. I am starting to feel badly for Regina...

Can't wait for this week's episode!!

I think that Regina and Snow are related. I think that's why when Emma touched Regina it opened the portal, family seems to be a big theme with this show and my theory is that the main players are all tied together.
I think Golds son is Henry's father, and Snow and Regina are sisters. In the classic fairy tale of snow white, her mother wishes for a child with lips as red as blood and skin as white as snow. Regina is obviously not her mothers biological child, so I think both her and Snow came from the same place.

Did I miss something last night? When did we learn that Regina is not Cora's biological child? I heard Rumple say something to Regina that she was starting to look like her mother.

I didn't catch anything that would imply she isn't Cora's child either

My favorite show on TV!

Oops, I got my fairy tales mixed up. I thought the millers daughter asked for a child too (like in the snow white tale) but she promises her first child and later learns Rumples true name and gets to keep the child (which in the classic tale makes Rumple so angry he tears himself in two) Maybe she has another child (snow?) and makes a deal with rumple for magic?
For some reason I just think they are all tied together.

Also if Rumple was Rumple when Regina was an infant does that mean Bae is quite a bit older than Emma? I'm trying to figure out the timeline.

 

[monkeybug]

I also don't get why Rumple tells Regina she was more portable. That seems to indicate he took her from/to someone, but where would he have been taking her? If the millers daughter got to keep her first born then why would Rumple be taking Regina anywhere.

The timeline is a bit vague and I am not sure when certain things occurred. I would presume that Rumple's magic came and Bae left..then at some point after that is when he comes to Regina to give her magic. To me he makes it very clear that to him (or all of them?) time is "fluid" as he makes reference to their past and future and an implication (to me) that he knows or has seen/been part of their future as well.

I don't feel Emma/Snow are related to Regina..I feel personally that Emma was able to "transfer" some magic to Regina because she is Emma..she is special being the one to break the curse and all that..maybe it gave her a bit of power/magic that she transferred by touch to Regina.

The Miller's daughter make sense. Maybe when Regina was a baby Rumple held her. He clearly didn't keep her or raise her. Probably because in the story the Miller's daughter learns his name. In the fairytale that's the end of the story but maybe in Once Upon a Time there is more to the story. We know Rumple ends up giving Cora a spell book.


ETA- I took think Emma has her own magic that has nothing to do with Regina. For all we know she got it from being in an enchanted wardrobe only minutes after her birth. She said she could tell when people were telling the truth, she was good at finding people, the hat she made possibly worked and then touching Regina activated Regina's powers.

Bae was a teenager when Rumple became the dark one and if he held Regina as a baby then they are jumping though time somewhere... The history of somethings just don't make sence to me.

Could it be that when Bae's son left Fairytale land Regina wasn't born yet? Maybe Bae has been in the real world for a long time.

I also wonder if Cora is Bae's mother. Maybe Bae is the first born son and somehow Rumple ends up with him? Doesn't the original dark one say something about the possibility that Bae isn't really his child?

I feel like they are doing that and that Rumple alluded to it when he was talking to Regina prior to her wedding.

I was under the impression that Rumple is MUCH older than most of the other characters.... being "The Dark One" means he doesn't age.

I think Emma has more Magic than we know. I'm hoping we will find out more about that this season.

Wow! I had to read 4 pages to catch up

I was surprised at (and let's see how long this lasts) the sudden change in Regina. It kind of reminded me of Xena (if anyone remembers that). Her sudden change had me scratching my head saying, "Huh?!" Has she truly had a change of heart and has realized that she has become what she never wanted to be - her mother?

A few other things that left me with some questions were

1. Why is it that no one seems to remember the Mad Hatter/Jefferson except for Henry?
2. What happened to Pinnochio/August? Why wasn't he on the bed when Gippeto (sp?) arrived?
3. What was Rumple thinking at the border? It looked like he was contemplating whether or not to give up on everything and start a new life.
4. WTH was Regina's mother doing in the cell and how did she get there? Where was she transported to when Regina pushed her through the mirror?

I think the reason why no one in FTL recognized Snow is b/c she looks different. Her hair is shorter and she is not dressed in her FTL clothes. I'm guessing the identity of Snow and Emma will become apparent to everyone as the season progresses.

The one thing I didn't like was that 45-50 minutes was spent in Storybrooke and the last 5 minutes was spent back in FTL. It was almost like an after thought. All in all, we loved the episode and can't wait until Sunday!
