Me too! Other LOST ties...

Sawyer was also a con man.
Cassidy - the woman Sawyer tried to con and who ended up being the mother of his daughter was named Cassidy
Tallahassee - Sawyer's father was referred to as The Man From Tallahassee
And, of course, Hurley the Giant!

Cassidy - the woman Sawyer tried to con and who ended up being the mother of his daughter was named Cassidy
!

I had forgotten about that one....

I was waiting for them to run into somebody named James Ford / Sawyer at somepoint.

I loved finding out who Henry's father is though I don't know if he is Baelfire since he had to be kind of convinced of magic and the curse. I really want to know what was in the box. Whatever it was it must be really impressive to be able to convince someone of magic. Also I just wanted to throw out there what I believe Neal's name is a reference to. His name is Neal Cassady which is who Jack Kerouac based his character Dean Morriarty on in On The Road. I'm not sure if that is what they are going for but the spelling is the same. Also loved the Apollo bar reference and I was bummed that Jorge didn't say dude.

Did anyone else catch the fact that Princess Aurora and Henry (and I bet Snow as well, based on her facial expression) had exactly the same nightmare...Red room, red curtains, no windows and doors...A "side effect" of the sleeping curse created by Maleficient (was revealed that EQ got the curse from her) and used on Snow, Henry, and (if the writers hold true to the Sleeping Beauty story) Aurora. I wonder what the connection is...

Neal was awfully interested in the dream catcher they found in the hotel room. He apparently kept it because it was in his apartment in the opening episode. I wonder what bad his dreams are about???

 

[LKFan]

Could Neal be Peter Pan? The dream catcher helps with "happy thoughts."

Either that or August is both Pinocchio and Peter. He certainly takes care of those who have lost their parents.

 

[starwood]

Did anyone else catch the Wizard of Oz reference? The powder from Mulan made of poppies - a powerful poison.

Oh thanks for pointing these out, I thought the exact same thing about Sawyer when he was starting to get Emma to volunteer to get the watches (to bad he doesn't look like Sawyer LOL).

It was also good to see Charles W back in next weeks previews.

.

That would be neat. Or maybe he one of the lost boys. Stealing

If you listened there were a slight difference between what Aurora was seeing and what Henry was seeing. Aurora saw Henry in the room and Henry saw Aurora. They will probably use this dream to get messages between the worlds.

 

[LuvsDragonflies]

Maybe its where they go when they are cursed?

This is what's got me confused now...my first thought was, are they going to start bringing real people in now? When will Abraham Lincoln make an appearance?

He is in the real world and is to young to actually be that guy. My first thought was that it was a made up name since he is a thief but he used it even with Emma and it was on his wanted poster so maybe it is just a reference by the writers.

I also wanted to add that I just found this about the real Neal Cassady on Wikipedia:

As a youth, Cassady was repeatedly involved in petty crime. He was arrested for car theft when he was 14, for shoplifting and car theft when he was 15, and for car theft and fencing when he was 16.
June 1944, Cassady was arrested for receipt of stolen property, and served eleven months of a one-year prison sentence.

Well, I think Emma will be upset when she finds out how he took 'care' of her by making her love leave her so she could break the curse.

And to me Neal believed what August said way too easily. One look at what's in the box and he believes what August is saying and leaves Emma? Unless he is Bae and knows about the magic world.
