A Fan Theory by Peter Pizzola

I have a wild OUAT theory that's been floating around in my head for a while. It concerns the mystery of what happened to Owen's father, Kurt Flynn, after Regina separated him from his son and trapped him in Storybrooke. Most fans are assuming that Regina did something horrible to him - he was...

A Fan Theory by Zach Van Norman

Tamara's introduction created an instant problem for everyone in Storybrooke: how could an outsider be allowed to know about magic? “Selfless, Brave & True” will likely give us an answer to that question as we see how she affects the ties that bind Neal to Emma and Henry. But I...

A Fan Theory by Wishes Are Children

In “The Price of Gold” Once Upon a Time fans were introduced to a young woman named Cinderella whose life is “wretched.” She is a maid to her evil step-mother and two step-sisters. In order to attend a ball, Ella, as she is nicknamed, makes a deal with the D...

A Fan Theory by Wishes Are Children

August Booth has long been able to retain an air of mystery. When asking how his wooden condition will affect his happy ending, one wonders if he will reconnect with his father. Perhaps taking a look at what we know of August’s actions and comparing him to characters fro...

She's also ambitious, fearless and a born leader and she won't stop until she gets what she wants."

A Fan Theory by Brooke Summerlin

The Seer’s ambiguous final words to Rumplestiltskin, “The boy will be your undoing,” are a hot topic in the aftermath of Once’s new episode “Manhattan.” The boy likely refers to Henry, whose decision to find Emma and bring her to Storybrooke set off...

Many thanks to Christine Fitzner and Teresa Martin for working this out.

We confused ourselves looking at it!

The Powers that Be on Once Upon A Time have confirmed that Rumpelstiltskin will play a role in returning Belle’s memories. It occurred to me tha...

Possible Spoilers Ahead

If you saw any of the #SpoilerTweets from Adam last week you know that Episode 2x19 is titled “Lacey.”

What could it mean?

Is it a person? Perhaps Lacey is Belle's Storybrooke name. In my opinion ...

A Fan Theory by Zachery Van Norman

If you had a surprised reaction to Rumple and Cora's kiss during "In The Name Of The Brother," you're not alone; I was pretty surprised myself. After all, it's not the kind of thing you'd expect to see after one of them tried to kill the other with a force field. But aside fro...

A Fan Theory by Wishes Are Children

One of the many questions that fans would like to see answered this season is related to Prince Charming. His mother, Ruth, calls him “son” in conversation. Snow refers to her husband as “Charming”, or “Da...

What Happened To Baelfire? -  A Fan Theory by Mauri Lazaro

After Baelfire went through the portal and Rumplestiltskin confronted The Blue Fairy one or two things could have happened:

1) Baelfire did make it to our world a land without magic, but Blue sent Tinkerbell to find Bae in our world to take him to Neverland for him t...

Article by Zach Van Norman

“Tallahassee” was a revealing episode that answered many questions from Season 1. We learned the reason for Emma's imprisonment (Neal), why she is so guarded when it comes to love (Neal), and, finally, who Henry's father is (Neal). We also found out that it was Pinaugusto (had to ...

Article By Jennifer Brouillard

As dedicated Once Upon A Time fans, we all wonder how our favorite characters became the way they are. One of my favorite questions to ponder is how Rumplestilskin become the way he is. In "The Crocodile", many questions about Rumplestiltskin's past were answered. But many more remain and have ...

The Blue Fairy, that is.


The Blue Fairy is one of the “good” characters of Disney lore, and the Once version is no exception. She gave young Geppetto a protector in Jiminy Cricket, turned Pinocchio into a real boy, and aided in the saving of Princess Emma so she could break the Dark Curse. But like all Once c...

Theory contains some minor spoilers about season two.

Episode 17 "Hat Trick" definitely ranks among the best episodes of Once's first season. It had a great story, fantastic visuals and a stunning performance by Sebastian Stan as Jefferson, the Mad Hatter. 

There are many unanswered questions in this episode: Who was Jefferson's wife, and why...

What is Charming's real name?

Prince Charming is quite the dashing fellow; even Regina can see the allure. And while the charmer's backstory has been revealed, one question still remains: what is Prince "Charming" James' real name?

Most Oncers are aware of Charming's history, but for those who are not, a quick recap:

Prince James was one of a set of twin boys, traded to King George through Rumplestiltskin as an infant by his desp...

Warm welcome to Zach Van Norman. A new contributor to the fan site. Zach will be entertaining us with fan theories over the course of season two. It will be interesting to look back and see what Zach gets right. His first theory involves the Evil Queen, Ursula, Belle and "a certain mermaid"....

One of the most inspired and heartbreaking episodes of Once Upon A Time is the Beauty and the Beast themed episode titled "Skin Deep." Rumplestiltskin's backstor...

“You might want to find a place to hide your majesty...” Mother Superior a.k.a. The Blue Fairy, threatened as the thin film of magic that had awoken them mere moments ago settled.

That is about as far as I got while attempting to write a fan fiction in which the Blue Fairy was the evil mastermind.

Then I thought, if I had enough evidence to write a fan fiction then why couldn't it be true? We know how Rumple stumbled into magic, and t...

"Jack" is not Bae and is Henry's father:

Being Jack, he “beaned” to the Land Without Magic before the curse was enacted, met Emma and badda bing! Perhaps Jack saved a bean that “Blue” didn’t know about?

Bae is Bae:

I speculate this because too many fans like Dylan Schmid as Bae and the drama of Rumple having to deal with Belle and a 14 year old Bae who pops out of the vortex a...
