I've been watching
Once Upon a Time, and I have a Question to Speculate Upon. Not that this question is not rife with other's speculations, but I haven't been paying any attention to any of them, until now.
Who is this August W. Booth Guy with the Hairy Face and Old Motorcycle?
Could he be:
- One of those oddly named Dwarves who are so fond of Snow White? Could he be Stretchy? He is rather tall.
- Peter Pan? He hangs around Henry, who is fresh material for A Lost Boy. He told Henry "To Believe"---was that Tinkerbelle whom I saw in the background? He doesn't shave because he doesn't know how. All that grown up stuff is very complicated and tiring for a boy like him. He is not flying right now because he has a sweet ride on his Vintage Honda bike. Do we ever see him at night or in the presence of his own shadow? Is he acrobatic? Is he a Transsexual? Is he really a small woman on hormones and in a flying harness? Peter Pan can cross the universes from our world to Never Never Land, as can August.
- Is he the Author of Henry's book? Or just the Editor? He has different suggestions for the way for a character to grow or the plot to pursue. Is he a plagiarist? Or is he a Fan Fiction Author who re-writes the fairy tales to please himself?
- Is he just some guy who should take a bath and shave and then dirty up that flowered white bedspread in Mary Margeret's apartment with Emma Swan? Or Mary Margaret? Or Ruby? Or Grandma? Or all of them?
- Is he one of those bikers from Easy Rider? He was just riding his bike across America and enjoying America and is about to gunned down in a drive by for his Meth Bag by some mad as a Mad Hatter Tea Partier Red Neck?
Why aren't Regina or Mr. Gold perturbed by his presence? Does either one of them even know he is present? Is he invisible to them?
And come on, Rumplestiltskin not only Steals Babies, now he makes them In Vitro? Why would he steal a baby if he can make one? And not just In Vitro but In Vivo?
