OUAT Thoughts
1. My current theory is that Henry’s father is Hook. I’m not sure on the exact rules of fairy tale characters existing outside of Storybrooke, but I don’t want to believe that Bae is the father and we already have a lot of new and returning characters so I’m hoping it is someone already announced. My second pick is Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk.
2. Like the rest of the fandom, I’m going nuts wondering who Dr. Whale is. I’m hoping he’s just a scoundral and not an out and out villian.
3. Thrilled at the news that Jefferson will be showing up more next season. Now I’m just hoping that we get to see the Red Queen again…
4.The big one, RUMBELLE! I just can’t get used to shipping a canon couple and am viewing the upcoming season with a mix of terror and delight. I’m reasonably certain that these two are going to be taking over the role of Snow/Charming as the “how many ways can they be miserable” couple of the week… I just can’t make myself trust canon writers to make my favorite characters happy-I’m so used to depending on fanfic for that! Plus, it is Rumplestiltskin. I don’t expect that he will be given a happy ending until the final minutes of the SERIES finale.
5. I’m curious as to just how much of Rumple’s mannerisms will be coming through Mr. Gold now that everyone knows who he is. I really enjoy the small flashes of the imp coming through the man in the suit (love the little hand twirl he does when talking with the Mayor about killing being more difficult now that you can’t just turn people into snails and step on them). I hope that the Storybrooke character gets to keep the more quiet, icy, controlled front to contrast with the manic energy of flashback!Rumple.
6. And in the words of one reviewer, how on earth is the series going to go forward without Gold and Regina “nuking the free world”? While I’d love a good “Gold and Regina burn down Storybrooke in an epic magical battle” fanfic, I don’t see this being for the best of the series :) Very curious as to how the show is going to keep the magical Cold War cold so to speak…
