Emma needed a hook to get her into Storybrooke, and obviously Henry is that hook. Without Henry, it would have been nearly impossible to motivate Emma to show up *and* stick around. It's almost as though bringing Henry into the world was part of a more elaborate plan to get Emma involved. And that would have necessitated the cooperation of a Fairy Tale citizen in the real world, outside of Storybrooke. The way things are currently shaping up, I'm guessing that both Gold and Regina are now fully aware that they've been duped by Cora, who is obviously more powerful than either of them. It probably won't be too much longer before Gold and Regina will be forced to work together to keep Cora at bay. Then again, I could be completely mistaken. 8^D

I really like this show, but am not sure my brain can handle this many plot lines!

She's still stuck in Fairytale world. The only Storybrooke residents who know she's back are Snow and Emma. I do think that once they do find out, you're right, it will force them to work together, however reluctantly. It's like Gold going to the prince for help finding Belle. Neither wanted to really be asking or offering help. "I've felt Bae was Henry's father for a long time--I suppose the Peter Pan tie in could happen as well. I don't think Gold sent the postcard to Bae--I don't think he knows exactly where Bae is or that Bae would know anything about the curse." Now THAT could be interesting. I hadn't thought about Bae being Henry's father. I also don't think Gold sent the postcard either, because if he knew where Bae was all this time, and could send animals out to send messages, why did he wait? I think there is someone else out there who knows what's going on and sent the postcard...but I don't know who yet.

He could have been away from Neverland when the curse struck, which would have put him into the real world. That would also give them a nice little storyline about him having to grow up, and then rediscovering his endless childhood and all that.

But after last night, I'm starting to lean in that direction. Geez Louise... are Kitsis and Horowitz just pulling this stuff outta their butts now? I don't see much cohesion in the story lines. And introducing Dr. Frankenstein into a fairy tale driven universe? Seriously? OUAT is veering off into the weeds, looking more and more like a bad Syfy Channel series.

I knew they were bound to explore other realms but I'd expected to see Oz or something before that, it just seemed like a weird choice. The whole bringing Daniel back from the dead thing too. Actually the whole episode was just bizarre, so many things bugged me, I hope it picks up again soon.
Originally Posted By chickapin ^^^agree, agree, agree! I have enjoyed this show, but I'm losing interest fast. I didn't think Mulan had any place there, but Frankenstein--really?? I thought the fairy tale premise was fun and creative and they could have stuck with it and had an entertaining show. I've got that "jumping the shark" feeling now...

Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Oh...so Dr. Whale...makes sense now. James Whale director of Frankenstein...I guess they had it planned, maybe?
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb >>>Oh...so Dr. Whale...makes sense now. James Whale director of Frankenstein...I guess they had it planned, maybe?<<< That was my thought. I'm still enjoying the show, but I'm not expecting it to be LOST or anything of the sort. At the beginning of last season I preferred Once Upon a Time to Grimm but part way through last season Grimm started to command my attention and I'm liking it more than OUaT, but I think it's more due to Grimm getting better than OUaT getting worse.

Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORWEN: When I said Aurora didn't have anything to say, I was talking about the previous episode to this latest one. Last night she actually had something to say and contributed to the story by talking about her dreams. I was hoping she'd mention Maleficent or Prince Phillip but so far she hasn't.
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom I understand what you were talking about at the time ORWEN. I caught last nights episode. But, that was perhaps the 2nd episode I have seen so far this season. My only comment is, I wished this show would pack more into each episode.
