Yay, August is back! I hate that he was bumped down to guest star, though. Hopefully Eion will be a regular again soon.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds pretty good!
AUGUST¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteBut will we see Ginny in this epi? Or just Emma?
Emma is still in present day Fairtale Land. So Snow will be in it too.
ReplyDeleteI'm more curious about Storybrooke. I hope we get a Storybrooke story in this episode too and they are just not revealing it in the press release yet.
Looking forward to August's return too. Still don't get why he's no longer a series regular.
ReplyDeleteWho wants to bet Neal Cassady is Henry's father?
ReplyDeletewith charming, yes
ReplyDeleteWhat happened with Elon? Crap, i liked him in this...wish he would find himself a series!
ReplyDeleteActor Michael Raymond-James (Neal Cassady in OUAT) is the guy in the 1st scene of the 1st episode of this season;the one who received the Storybrooke postcard with the word "Broken" on it.My guess is that he's either Bae or Henry's father or both!!!Well maybe neither but we'll find out soon :P
ReplyDeleteWell preferably with a lot of people. I think the show works best when they tell stories that incorporate large parts of their cast and there's an interplay of parallels and contrasts between the different worlds.
ReplyDeleteHe was taken off 'regular' status. :( But hopefully he'll be bumped back up.
ReplyDeleteMurderous Giant? Hurley? The loveable Hugo Reyes? I don't buy it.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing when I saw Raymond-James' name on the press release. He is probably that fellow thief who wants to make Emma an honest woman and maybe he's also Henry's father/Bae!
ReplyDeleteYes i know i that,but why? You would think there would have been a press release when this happened,and i'm sure this occurred over the summer while they were writing for S2... Thanks anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... A 29 year old male of Asian decent is interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly
ReplyDeleteJorge Garcia!!!! yey. I love to see losties on my shows!
ReplyDeleteI'm also thinking that Neal Cassady is probably Bae or Henry's father, maybe even both.
I actually think it's most probably both, because I have the impression that Henry's father has to be a fairytale character and unless we find out later that someone else was also brought to this world before the curse, then I don't see another option for Henry's father but Bae.
I was thinking he was the white rabbit or peter pan but now I'm more leaning towards Henry's father/Bae.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember if Emma told Henry's father that she was pregnant. Does he even know?
Just look at his evil look in the promo picture. Sinister.
ReplyDeleteI am rooting for some good CGI. A giant beanstalk can be tricky.
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad to find out more about Emma's past.
Finally! So, Emma was a thief, that explains the prison. We're gonna meet Henry's dad!
ReplyDeleteMichael Raymond-James, anyone? ;) I so hope, there's this cool twist where we learn he's also Baelfire!
Also, "Hurley" as a murderous giant!
Can't wait! This season is awesome!
And the last thing: AUGUST!!!!!!
In the pilot episode Emma and Regina had this little discussion:
ReplyDeleteRegina: What about the father?
Emma: There was one.
Regina: Do I need to be worried?
Emma: Nope. Doesn't even know.
I officially feel like a total nerd for knowing that conversation by heart... can't help it though, this show is just too good!
I think Michael Raymond-James is not Bae, but he is Henry's father. And i believe "Neal" is only Henry's father or is Jack and beanstalk. Because in this same site has talked about one character, the first appearence would be in 2x11, that the name is something like Bat (I do not know in specific).
ReplyDeleteOh, Regina should be worried. And so should Emma.
ReplyDeleteEdit: sorry for the double posting. I don't know why my computer just acted all weird and it was posted as guest when I tried to delete the post above.
Regina should be worried. And so should Emma.
ReplyDeleteAnother LOST reference. Remember the "The Man from Tallahassee" episode?
ReplyDeleteThey should, but at least we know Henry's father doesn't know about Henry. Henry himself thinks his father died a hero.So if Henry's dad were to come to Storybrooke while Emma isn't there he wouldn't even realize Henry was his son.
ReplyDeleteI guess we'll get to see how good of a thief Emma was/is in this episode. That should be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that from this and http://entertainment.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474981703032 where it shows that the mystery man will be appearing in this episode.
ReplyDeleteCalled it! http://www.wetpaint.com/once-upon-a-time/articles/once-upon-a-time-spoiler-emma-takes-us-to-a-new-city
So, Michael Raymond-James appears in this episode... I guess he is Henry's father since this episode is about a guy that Emma met. But then, it's quite unlikely for this show to have a non-magical flashback, so perhaps Neal Cassady is also Bae - perhaps Bae already knew who was Emma and then he tried to "make an honest woman out of her" because he had an agenda. You never know with this show.
ReplyDeleteWe don't really know that he doesn't know. Emma thinks that, but if he is someone who happens to know about the curse and about Emma, he might have known and kept his distance in order for fate to take it's course.
ReplyDeleteTrue that. I have wondered about Henry and the story of his conception for a long time and I can't wait to see where they take it. Michael Raymond-Jones' character got a postcard telling him the course was broken in the season opener, so he must obviously know something about Storybrooke and the curse.
ReplyDeletei just hope she was smarter as a thief than she is nowadays.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I understand that OUAT is trying to build Emma up to be the hero/savior that she's destined to be but it's unnecessary and frustrating to see the writers regress her character into a simpleton to accentuate her progress.
