Maybe Rumple saw...I'm not sure on that either. Maybe Rumple saw that with the eye? I'm trying to remember, but I think that Regina's father was a minor royal, like the younger brother of a crowned prince or something. When we learned that in season two, it surprised me since it wasn't something that made sense with what we'd already seen. Unfortunately, I didn't make it that far in my rewatch of season two during the hiatus.<br /><br />This really wasn't clear last night, so maybe we'll learn more about that down the road.<br /><br />Zelena definitely wanted to keep Rumple to herself, but maybe she did fall in love as well. That was my impression, although they didn't come out and state it.<br /><br />There has been speculation that some of the missing, (including at least one dwarf, I believe) is now a flying monkey. The only person we've seen be turned into a monkey is Little John.<br /><br />I really need to watch the recent Disney Oz movie. I didn't make that connection, but it isn't a big surprise and very cool.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-37803844068865605102014-04-07T17:59:09.236-07:002014-04-07T17:59:09.236-07:00Oh, and I'm every so excited that Ariel will b...Oh, and I'm every so excited that Ariel will be back next week!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286032807894115704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-82923234745350798982014-04-07T17:57:42.361-07:002014-04-07T17:57:42.361-07:00Another excellent episode.

Reading what you write helps to clarify some things for me.<br /><br />But that being said, maybe you can help me out with something. I don't understand why Cora gave her first born up. Because she could never be royal? Zelena is only a baby for heaven's sake. Is it because Cora never married the father so she is out of wedlock? If memory serves me correctly, Regina's father wasn't royal. She had to marry a royal to become royal. So why couldn't Zelena marry to become royal? I think I'm missing something here.<br /><br />It was a really good, packed with information episode. And I like the fact that Zelena turning green is due to the envy she has for Regina. And something else. Did Zelena fall in love with Rumple? Or did she just want to keep him to herself to learn all the magic and be the spell caster?<br /><br />Loved the ending so that we know who the flying monkey is. Liked that in that scene he kind of looked like the actor who portrayed the wizard in the latest Disney movie. But there is more than one flying monkey, right? Because one of the dwarfs was turned into a flying monkey. <br /><br />I did know about the slippers - that they are silver in the book and were made red to show up more in the movie :) Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286032807894115704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-62311066386949778862014-04-07T17:48:12.000-07:002014-04-07T17:48:12.000-07:00Wow - good theory and it would tie in so nicely wi...Wow - good theory and it would tie in so nicely with the whole Oz thing.

With Zelena being the Wicked Witch of the West we're thinking that the items she is collecting are the same from the Wizard of Oz story. The Lion's courage, the Tin Man's heart.. next would be the Scarecrow's brain. Could that be Mary-Margret's baby? Its our theory at least.<br />Thanks for the posts, we do enjoy them so!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
