Once Upon A Fan

Hey everyone!

So I've started watching the episodes from the beginning and keepinga journal of all the "problems," or questions, and clues that still need solved.

Here's what I've gotten so far:

Unanswered Q's

• In the Shepherd and The Price of Gold, Rumple was working on getting/getting the Fairy Godmother's wand.  Why?
• Who took Prince Thomas? (The Price of Gold)
  
• Why did Gold want Ella's child?
• Why was Alexandra (Ella/Ashley's baby) born twice?
• Why did Rumple want Gepetto's puppet parents?
• Why are certain objects crossing over? (Snow White's casket, Regina's heart vault, etc.)
• Why is Boston being brought up so much? (Ashley, David, Kathryn, etc. were all going there)

Missing People

• King Midas?
• Charming's mom?
• Jiminy's parents?

Important Quotes

• "Oh no. He's dead.  Magic can't change that"  ~Rumple, "the Shepherd"

• The creator's are working on bringing Graham back.  Is there a magic Rumple doesn't know about?

• More proof the Queen of hearts is Cora?

• Clue at his identity?

• Mayeb I'm just over thinking, but another clue?

That's as far as I;ve gotten, will post more as I watch more episodes, but this is what I've got.

Thoughts or other things anyone's noticed?

I think I can answer a few of those:

Jiminy's Parents - Long since dead. Unless they found some magic to do something about their aging they would have died of old age a long time ago. Notice that Gepetto is a young boy in "That Still Small Voice" and now he's an old man.

The Huntsman coming back - The creators said that the Huntsman will be seen again, but only in flashbacks.

Why did Gold want Ella's child? - Gold 'wanted' Ella's child because he arranges 'black market' adoptions (like he did with Henry). He was just the facilitator between birth and adoptive parents, rather than wanting the child for himself.

Why was Alexandra (Ella/Ashley's baby) born twice? - It wasn't. Everyone was stuck at the point at which the curse struck them, and didn't start aging/moving forward until Emma arrived. So Ella was about 8 or 9 months pregnant when the curse struck. This might also explain why Charming but not Snow was present when they imprisoned Rumplestiltskin, since Snow must have got pregnant a month or two before Ella did.

Why are certain objects crossing over?  - Haven't the producers said that this is one of the things that will be looked at in S2?

Why is Boston being brought up so much? - Probably simply because it's the nearest big city.
