Camera One April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 (edited) I just watched the sneak peek video. Sorry if this has been discussed already. So now Emma's shed is a storage place for magical ingredients? Why doesn't Regina just magic the items over and/or apparate, instead of having Henry walk all the way home to get them? It's seriously idiotic. Does Henry not own a ballpoint pen? He makes grocery lists using the Author's pen too? (I suppose he could have been writing using a regular pen). This is all great fodder for the episode thread on Sunday... a single scene can already generate so much idiocy. Edited April 7, 2017 by Camera One 1 Link to comment

Camera One April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 (edited) He and Hook must have. But still, it's ridiculous it's still there. I was wondering where the plot was going to go after "A Wondrous Place". This sneak peek basically shows, it can go anywhere, since you can throw in something random, like Henry suddenly glazing over even more than usual and writing mysterious symbols. I'm guessing they will need to go to Belle, since no one else can read Elvish, and she's throw in a BTW, my son has the weapon to kill you, Emma, and then she can translate and the writing will say "Emma will breathe her last within a fortnight". In two weeks, we find out she will breathe her last magical pollen from the tree of true love which will open a portal and bring Emma and Hook back together.

maryle April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 I will confess that 6b even too I found the Rumple and the jaladin centric boring more interesting overall. I look forward this week and next week episode. The Gideon, Emma and spider sound good and the Neverland stuff. And there Rumbelle wondering how their exchange will go. Next week is the big snowing curse broking. I am looking more to it now that Katmab kinda hitted that Colin and Jen did in fact filmed together for it. She also heard that a season 7 will a new different setting. I don't know what to think about a final season if like I believe it will mostly be center around the two new characters with Hook, Regina, Emma playing support to them 1 Link to comment

Kktjones April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 So in that EW article Colin pretty much confirmed that Hook is still in Neverland in 6x17 because that's the first ep for Tiger Lily. I just hope he's home early on and perhaps plays a role in breaking the Snowing curse. Link to comment
Vader12 April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 (edited) Maybe Tiger Lily appears in that episode near the end like how Wish realm Robin did in the end of ep 10. Since Rumple said that the Black Fairy is he source of darkness and evil, this is making me wonder if she does not die in the end of this season. Possibly she might appear dead, but maybe something dramatic might happen. If so, it might be for a cliffhanger at the end of the season. Edited April 7, 2017 by Vader12 Link to comment

Rump said in S1 that Regina's Dark Curse too them through "Time and Space" and all of a sudden this happened in the 80s? I fanwank it that the Curse froze all the magical lands so while SB people were only frozen for 28 years, the EF people, including those in the Cora Dome, were frozen for hundreds of years. Of course, as usual, the viewers think about this more then the writers. But who knows, I just dont want to see Issac back. However, the Black Fairy storyline looks good and could actually add up to the "Final Battle" if she is the source of all Dark Magic.

WTF? Rumple, I get why he didn't bother to tell anyone, but it blows my mind that Belle didn't bother to tell Emma anything since she got back from the WishRealm. 7 Link to comment
KAOS Agent April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 You know, if Henry were to die, this episode would automatically become my favorite. Just the fact that episode might at least give me a small window of time where I can dream it happens makes me more likely to enjoy it. This one is going to be a mess though. There are too many storylines going on, so I expect very little of the Hook stuff. Two scene maybe. And then Regina/Henry/Author will be a couple more. 2 Link to comment

If you look carefully at the photos, you will find spiderwebs everywhere (including a recent photo with Emma and Rumple covered in them).

Being advesaries to anyone always seem to clue us that Hook did something terrible to someone else (same goes to Regina and Rumple for what they did to their victoms), just like he did to Rumple (before he became the dark one), what he tried to do to Belle, what he did to Ursula, Left Liam 2 am orphan, and now for what he did to Charming for the murder of his father. It still hints us that he did a bad thing to her, just like how we were already hinted that he did something terrible to Charming in Josh's interviews about what would affect their friendship for a while (as we saw in Murder Most Foul). Also, Pan and his actor were not announced or seen for a return this season. Which seems to clue us that Pan was not the one who caused Tiger Lily pain. And being the muscle to Pan does not truly mean Hook can't do anything bad to anyone without Pan's permission. Edited April 8, 2017 by Vader12 Link to comment
KAOS Agent April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 Emma and Gideon are clearly in the mansion fighting the spider in the promo. It's throwing webs around the walls which have paintings and light switches. They are hiding behind the railing. They aren't in the Dark Realm. This also tracks with filming spoilers for the episode of Giles & Jen filming all day on location at the Cecil Green Park House. Other promo pics show Rumbelle in the mansion as well. There was some sort of spoiler regarding Rumbelle possibly going to the Dark Realm, but not Emma. The Black Fairy shows up in Storybrooke in the next episode, so if they go to the Dark Realm, they aren't there for more than half an episode, which seems rather silly. Why bother at that point? Then again, I just realized A&E wrote this episode, so nothing would surprise me. On Tiger Lily, “As Captain Hook continues on his path to redemption, his dark past is never far away,” executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis tease. “He’s left a long line of adversaries and Tiger Lily is the latest to return and complicate his efforts to leave that past behind.” 1 Link to comment

I'm pretty sure we may see him again especially if we are gonna have the backstory of how black fairy became whom she was. Its just based on what Colin said it does not sound like Hook has that much history with Tiger Lily.

Yet it's been repeatedly made clear that time travel is impossible without a spell like Zelena's from Season 3, which was itself said to be nearly impossible. So all these realms exist at the same time despite looking different times.

Actually, Rump said that to Regina.."You brought us here through time and space..." My little pouty Jefferson said to Emma...."How do you know the Civil War happened...because you read it in a book, so why is that real but this is not." They did act as if all of the events in the EF happened in the far past in S1, but that was when they focused just on the EF, and when they incorporated elements of Disney and the original source material. But in their crazed hunger to use EVERY DARN CHARACTER in the Disney corporate drawer starting in S2 they couldnt figure out how to link them all up in the timeline...(they have a hard enough time figuring out the timeline for things that happened in SB when the Curse broke..) and they were too lazy to think of a way to do so. They thought it would be a cool idea to send Emma and Snow back to the EF, again, they could have indicated that it was frozen for hundreds of years, or even that the curse create a portal in the specific time and place from the EF's past to our present, but that was too much for them to deal with, not to mention when they wanted to bring in Universal Monsters, and of course Frozen. They could get away with saying that somehow our world had the inspiration for these stories before they happened (even though that's still stupid) if they didn't rely so heavily on Disney characterizations, plot points, etc. Sorry for the rant, this, along with the non rules of magic is just lazy writing so it bugs me. At least with the Black Fairy world they said time moves differently, which is lazy but an attempt to explain things so... But hey, Issac is back so I am sure they are going to clear it all up on Sunday! Link to comment
Camera One April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 (edited) Just reading the script teases... the one where Rumple tells Belle that they can save their son. I just can't express how little I care about that subplot and it's supposed to be the main one this half-season. How can they expect us to care one whit about Gideon when he's ruining people's lives? Who the hell cares if he's Rumbelle's son? Edited April 8, 2017 by Camera One 9 Link to comment
