It is the fairy tale answer, right? I could see it both ways, and I think it would depend on how they presented it if they went that route. I don't think that's where they are going, however.<br /><br />I've been so focused on how Gold can be "undone" without dying that I hadn't given Pan as the "boy" much thought. Between you and Irene, I think you might be on to something. It is convoluted, but I think it could work. We'll see if they go this route or not, but I'm beginning to like the theory.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-87633345454714968352013-11-19T15:31:24.610-08:002013-11-19T15:31:24.610-08:00I cannot stop thinking about this episode -- story...I cannot stop thinking about this episode -- storytelling at its finest! I am also so disappointed the next one won't air until Thanksgiving weekend as I will be out of town (at Disneyland, actually, and I doubt I'll be able to ride the Peter Pan attraction without thinking about this version of the character - eek!). <br /><br />I hope they don't try to use true love's kiss again to save Henry and David. They wouldn't cop out with a recycled rescue after such an awesome season, right?<br /><br />I like Irene's thinking; I also considered 'the boy' may be Pan. Mark, you have a great point, though. However, in a round-about way, Pan did bring Neal and Gold together because Gold didn't want Neal to be father-less like Dad/Pan left Gold, so Gold never gave up his search for Neal. But that might be too convoluted/weak an explanation for this scenario... Time will tell, but wish it would move more quickly!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740209053821918833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-78949918091366997412013-11-18T21:44:23.161-08:002013-11-18T21:44:23.161-08:00I like your theory about "the boy" being...I like your theory about "the boy" being Rumple's undoing, but how did Pan bring Gold and Neal together? That's the only problem there. I've been thinking that Rumple would stop being The Dark One and go back to being a mortal as a result of something with Henry, but your theory certainly has merit.<br /><br />I agree that Henry isn't necessarily the best actor, although his character doesn't have as much depth as Pan either. I think there's some of both going on.<br /><br />One week, six days, but who's counting?Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-17615882426389781982013-11-18T20:34:11.650-08:002013-11-18T20:34:11.650-08:00Mind blowing is right!

I keep saying best episode ever every time lately, but - best episode ever!<br /><br />One thing I liked was how they made Rumple's Dad so much like the present day Rumple. The looks, the gestures and that silly, giggly laugh.<br /><br />The young man who is playing Pan is totally an amazing actor. I will be sorry to see him go when he is defeated. The actor who plays Henry pales in comparison (I don't mean as a character but as an actor. Pan has depth, Henry not so much), I also don't like how evil they have made Pan.<br /><br />I was thinking, when the seer said "the boy" would be Rumple's undoing and all this time we and they have thought that meant Henry. I no longer think that is the case. The "boy" is Pan and he has now trapped Rumple (his own son for pitys sake!) in the box - Pan is Rumples undoing.<br /><br />Yes at this point two weeks is way too long!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286032807894115704noreply@blogger.com
