What IS their agenda?!!! Also, Tamara refers to Rumple as "The Dark One" - I'm sorry but this just sounds like she (or someone she knew) was indeed coming from the Fairy tale Land, because who else would call him that?
And may I just mention, Hook+Tamara would make a hot evil couple. I would be careful if I were you, Greg!
That's my theory too. My guess is she's related to the Fairy Godmother that Rumple killed in front of Cinderella for her magic wand. I'm hoping Robin Hood will reappear because of it - he knew about the wand and its properties and not only knew how to steal magic, but also how to use it. I'm really REALLY hoping him and Tamara have some distant connection too!
For a show whose runners keep saying "evil for the sake of evil is boring", they sure don't seem too worried about explaining Tamara's agenda. Right now, she's coming off as a false and even bratty girl whose purpose in life is annoy the hell out of everyone. I need a motive, please.
They realize they've already pissed off half of the main characters and that's only because the other half doesn't know what's going on yet.They better have a good plan..
It's great to see Hook again!Colin is a delight to watch,I was very pleasantly surprised.
I hope that their "method for killing magical creatures" consists more than the taser (if it is just a taser) that she used on the Dragon, because that seemed like a letdown, imho
Sorry, but they've had plenty of useless, filler episodes. They could very well have presented more substantial information about Tamara, to make her both more interesting and consistent.
I agree. The magic taser was the single most disappointing "magical" device I've seen so far. The "blood globe" that Rumple used to find Baelfire was super cool. Even the invisible chalk was a cooler concept, and that didn't even require a prop. I hope they modified that taser to a less laughable idea.
Disagree a bit. First it might not be "magic", but "science fiction"...(which we already have seen with the likes of Fringe scientist/Land without Color character/reality with Dr. Whale/Victor Frankenstein)
However, I feel certain the Once writers are with Arthur C. Clarke on this and that "any advance technology may not be distinguishable from magic" and that using both genres/aesthetics is supporting this idea.
It might hinting at a "futuristic" reality and/or a futuristic timeline that may or may not relate to any given reality presented thus far.
It goes hand in hand with Owen and Kirk, as Owen may be reference to "Owen Lars" (Star Wars) and Kirk may be a reference to "Captain Kirk" (Star Trek) Also, imagine if Kirk is Neverland and has a boat!
And then add those to the obvious "star wars" ring tone points to something futuristic down the line...
It also may be playing homage to former associates at Bad Robot, as Mr. Abrams is now also directly associated with Star Wars --And Mr. Lindelof, who is currently co-writing a script with Brad Bird for a film centured around Disney's futuristic attraction "Tomorrowland"
I agree it may be disappointing that it hasn't played out yet, but I'm hopeful that something with it is meant to eventually...

Looks good. I'm glad we'll be seeing Hook again. I'm getting tired of Tamara. She sucks.

Her Grandmother could be from Fairytale Land
ReplyDeleteTamara is a forced villain if I ever saw one.

ReplyDeleteYeah, he is a better bad guy, she just annoys me.

ReplyDeleteWhite Robin Hood + black Tamara = "distant connection"??? Very possible, but no relation by blood, please!

"why" is a question for first theory or second?
ReplyDeleteThe whole setting kinda reminds me of "Series of unfortunate events"
ReplyDeleteI'm right with you and fast before she ruins the season.
ReplyDeleteThats it... he doesn't care for anything else. That's what makes him tragic. That's why I feel for him. That's why I like him. He's just a sad....
ReplyDeleteI hope that their "method for killing magical creatures" consists more than the taser (if it is just a taser) that she used on the Dragon, because that seemed like a letdown, imho
ReplyDeleteUm...she's only been a villain like 5 minutes, have some patience!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but they've had plenty of useless, filler episodes. They could very well have presented more substantial information about Tamara, to make her both more interesting and consistent.
ReplyDeleteThis trio are a pathetic bunch of villains imo. They don't even compare to one Cora. Cora...now THAT was a great villain.

ReplyDeleteDamn it people!! Stop trying to kill my Rumple!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteI am more willing to bet that Tamara is Wendy's(from peter pan) grand-daughter
