It's totally the Wicked Witch of the West. Considering they put Mal's voice in Once in Wonderland, I'm sure they wouldn't have recast it.<br /><br />I'm sure they will go another direction with Emma not believe in who she is this time around. And I certainly agree it will be fun to watch.<br /><br />Your theory on Gold is similar to mine. I would be shocked if they got rid of him - he's just too popular and important a character. But watching him being mortal again could be very interesting.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-20009793187171604902013-12-17T21:32:47.746-08:002013-12-17T21:32:47.746-08:00Yes, Pan was an amazing actor.

They knew the curse was coming, so that part would still be in their memories even if the rest of it wasn't. But if they forgot about Storybrooke, how could Hook know to go get Emma?<br /><br />So many good questions, but I think we'll just have to wait until March to find out for sure.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-57722734933705441072013-12-17T17:14:00.320-08:002013-12-17T17:14:00.320-08:00We just watched this (I love DVR!) and my boys(9 a...We just watched this (I love DVR!) and my boys(9 and 10) are most concerned with the new villain - because she's green, they immediately went to the Wicked Witch of the West but I'm trying to talk them out of that one. My theory is Maleficent, although we saw her in the original season (maybe the pilot?) and she wasn't green - she was beautiful! <br /><br />I loved this episode and, to be totally honest, I loved it when Emma was ignorant of magic - it just made every single BIT of magic more, well, magical! (My favorite scene EVER was when she cut down Regina's apple tree - makes me laugh every time I think about it!).<br /><br />I agree that though Storybrooke and the memories of those left back will be gone, I think the fairytale folks are going to keep theirs - how else would Hook know to look for Emma?<br /><br />My theory on Gold: I think he killed "The Dark One" with the dagger but he will still be alive - just not so powerful/evil? Just guessing, obviously.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420388082444716211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-34180437599801003502013-12-17T09:06:23.681-08:002013-12-17T09:06:23.681-08:00I would only risk my life for love or revenge.

Will miss Peter Pan a whole lot; that actor is one of the best 18 year olds I've ever seen. That speech he gave Rumple was positively bone-chilling.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177966848695154811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-53482296748987204672013-12-17T08:58:15.578-08:002013-12-17T08:58:15.578-08:00One sound bite I heard from the preview was everyo...One sound bite I heard from the preview was everyone kind of on the ground in their Fairy Tale clothing and Snow saying "we're back". So I'm wondering about their losing their memories. I know that if Pan's curse had gone through as planned, then they would lose their memories but I'm not so sure on Regina's breaking of that curse but instead sending them back. When I was watching I got a little confused on certain points and also couldn't hear certain bits and pieces of dialog. I need to go back and watch it again, maybe with headphones this time.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286032807894115704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-88521285657516597622013-12-16T23:12:03.071-08:002013-12-16T23:12:03.071-08:00And with the new villain coming, I'm really ho...And with the new villain coming, I'm really hopeful that we can see the growth in Regina and Gold continue. I like what they've done with them, and I'd hate to lose that if everyone loses their memories of the last couple of years.<br /><br />BTW, another theory I want to float out there is that by Regina never getting to "see Henry" again, might that mean not knowing who he is if they did see each other again. Because you know that's going to happen at some point.<br /><br />I was thinking the same thing as I was watching about it feeling like a series finale although I'd really want everyone to live happily ever after together and not spread apart like they currently are.<br /><br />This isn't the first time they've used the "Villains don't get happy endings" line. I've always found it sad, but in this episode more so than normal.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-3813091064305399912013-12-16T22:43:23.421-08:002013-12-16T22:43:23.421-08:00This episode was one heck of a ride. At times it ...This episode was one heck of a ride. At times it almost felt like it could be a finale for the whole series! The acting was superb in this one. Yes, it was certainly a game changer and yes the "boy" is Pan. But I agree with you. It can not be the end of Rump/Mr. Gold. I like your theory.<br /><br />I do believe all those little flashback scenes were important to the ending as to why the various characters do what they do and why.<br /><br />"Villains don't get happy endings" - that was sad in this context. Gold redeemed himself and is no longer the village coward. And Regina finally saw that her enacting the curse was only an act of vengeance and how wrong it was. So I wonder what she will be like when they go back. Her one true act of selflessness and kindness to protect Henry and to give Emma a good life.<br /><br />Overall a most satisfying episode - perhaps the best of the whole series. What a way to end this part of the season!<br /><br />When said as 11 weeks, it makes it seem so far away! And there is a new villain coming! Looks amazing.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286032807894115704noreply@blogger.com
