Once Upon A Fan

Theory by Samantha Holbert

"By never doing what's expected. Keeps life interesting " ~ Dr.Whale

Jack didn't do what's expected either. He traded that old cow for MAGIC BEANS!

In 'The Return', we saw a magic bean. In 'A Land Without Magic' , we saw the Golden Egg. Pretty big clues...

When I read about the new Disney characters being introduced in Season Two, I immediately started thinking about what actors could play the roles and (especially) which actor will get to play the villainous Jafar. As I sat there and puzzled, the image of The Genie (also our dear friend Sydney Glass) popped into my mind.

So I got to thinking... What if Sydney's fairytale counterpart isn't Aladdin's bright blue "Robin Williams" genie after all? What if the genie ...

It's been a while since we had a good old debate so thought I would throw something out there to get your juices flowing.

Was I the only one who found it a bit chilling the way Snow wants to "take back the kingdom" in the season one finale? The way the line was delivered just left me a bit uneasy. As though a whole back story was waiting to emerge, one which would put Snow White into a very grey area.

After all, Snow and Charming are living in K...

At WonderCon 2012, Kitsis and Horowitz announced that they "have a plan" for Dr. Whale. And Michael Ausiello reported a few days ago that Jane Espenson said Ariel was someone "we've definitely talked about." What if these two characters are from the same story?

We all know Dr. Whale is obsessed with Ruby, a girl with red streaks in her hair. Incidentally - and I have been keeping my eyes open for this - I have not seen a single other redhead in town.

Throwing this out there to get your juices flowing. Like many nights. I went to bed with Once on the Brain! Here is what I couldn't get out of my head.

The Queen of Hearts! Most people feel she is Cora. Others (myself included) believe she's the Nurse in the Psych ward. I said a while ago that 'maybe she is future Emma'. I think this would be very cool.

We had a land without magic that  magic is now coming back to. Rumple, August & Jeffe...

I predict in subsequent seasons that we are going to see flashbacks of Emma's life growing up - and it will feature a red-haired, brown-eyed young man with the initials RLB.

A bold and specific statement - but one I can make a case for.

First we start with A Wooden Boy (notice the bright blue eyes):

...

Reading the Season Two - Your Theories page on the website, I was struck by one of the comments. "In "Apple Red as Blood",  it said that if Emma died the curse would break. This is still in play and will be this way through the whole series" - JeffersonHatter

What if Emma DOES die at the end of the series? The curse would completely break. Would everyone then return to Fairy Tale Land? What if this tragedy were resolved with T...

It seems to me that everybody keeps forgetting what made the purple cloud... the love potion yes, but rumple added it to the water that restores what one has lost, the last time we saw the water in action, it was abigail pouring it over her love's head.

Now, if charming had poured the water over the golden statues head, would he have come back to life? I don't think so, I believe that the water's magical qualities have the ability to anticipate what the person lo...

You have all been speculating hard since the finale aired with regards the direction season 2 will go in. Below are just a few of the speculations and predictions that you have been sharing with us. Keep them coming.

All theories can be submitted to gareth@onceuponatimefans.co.uk

I am thinking Mr. Gold's "price" for magic will be obsession.  He will be so obsessed with winning over Regina and being more powerful than her - He will lose Belle be...

With regards Snow's proposal to "take back the kingdom", I feel we will see those events unfold in season two.

I think the reason King George/D.A Spencer is in Storybrooke and not a character who was killed off, is to provide Regina with a mighty ally in season two.

Spencer will now have his memories of what Snow and Charming did to him back in FTL. He will be out for blood and will turn to Regina for support in overthrowing them once and for a...
