Once Upon A Time

He's already mad at her. Hence, why he freed Belle and sent her to tell Rumplestiltskin that Regina had imprisoned her.

About Jefferson... will Grace/Paige want him back? He did leave her without explanation after all.

"While trying to get you the luxuries you deserve, Daddy was trapped in a world where logic is a poor joke. He spent the whole time desperately trying to stave off a complete mental breakdown long enough to get back to you." Seems reasonable.

It'd be cool if she wanted her foster parents to join her in the lap of luxury, just to demonstrate that the show doesn't actually loathe the very concept of adoption.

Fair point, but not everyone, much less, every child is reasonable.

Maybe the parents should have a 3-way relationship, threesomes solve everything!

It'll probably help since she's spent relatively little time actually wondering where he was. Amnesia and all that.

Eh.. no, she was left on her own in farietale land for a while - He was dumped in wonderland while Regina's father was still alive, and Regina was on the throne, and he also spent enough time in wondeland to make a roomful of hats - The precise timeline is a bit fuzzy, but anyway I look at it, there has to be quite a while between "Jefferson disappears from farietale land" and "the curse hits". A year or more. Mildly surprising she didnt starve to death, given how crapsack farietale land seems to be. Someone adopted her there? Quite likely the same adoptive parents she has now, if so.

Its possible that Regina took care of Grace or at least gave her enough money to live. Her bargain with Jefferson was that Grace would want for nothing without any mention of Jefferson himself. And she did genuinely look remorseful at Grace having to lose her father.

Just saw Apple Red and A Land Without Magic.

O.o

I knew from the moment Mr. Gold said "Everything is going to be OK, I promise" what exactly was going to happen, though I almost thought Regina was going to be the one to deliver True Love's kiss

Though I am sad that Malficent is dead. I mean come on They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot or what?

Oh and now I'm convinced there is even more to Regina's reason for hating Snow.

,I thought Jefferson pretty explicitly left her with some Fairy Tale neighbors.

I don't think Grace can have been without Jefferson in Fairy Tale Land for too long, or she would have visibly aged.

Why does Regina need more reason to hate Snow than the latter getting her true love killed?

With you on Malificent's death. Mistress of all evil and she spends all her screen time getting her ass kicked to fulfill someone else's plans.

Regina certainly doesn't need more reason to hate Snow, it doesn't mean that Snow wouldn't be willing to give her reasons. Something of note for example: How does Henry Mills got stuck in Wonderland?

Cause, Snow said she knew what she did to make Regina hate her and that because of it she "deserved" Regina's hatred, but she had no idea that Cora had killed Daniel, she completely believed the story that he ran off and the Regina had fallen in love with her father.

Ooh, good catch. That's interesting.

The White Rabbit's fault, maybe? I'm hoping we get to see some more of Wonderland in general.

And Oz because there are flying monkeys in the book and the portal to the left of the Wonderland one screams Oz to me. Green curtain and a Z inside what looks like an O on it.

How about Narnia?

I wonder if 50-100 in the future, we will stuff like Harry Potter being featured in shows and stories like this.

I don't know if C.S Lewis's copyright has expired or not.

A man can dream, plus there was the magical closet...

By my calculations, Narnia will not become public domain until 2033.*

Oz, on the other hand...

@Mort

Not quite, it can be years after the creators death, OR years after the last Copyright renewal (which assuming the family has kept up with, which most families of dead authors don't, should be the release of the last material for it).

I hate to ask, but...

When is the copyright on Lord of the Rings set to expire?

All I could find was a post on a forum which said sometime in the 2040's...

Just had a thought.. In the episode with the Genie, further back in time than the main sequence with Charming and Snow, Regina didn't seem to use any magic, that I can recall. Maybe she didn't get her powers until later?

Considering her use of manipulation that seems likely

Regina killed her mom and stole her powers.

Copyright used to expire after 27 years :(. Now it it's 70.

Just wanted to say after getting caught by this show a couple of times when bored with nothing to watch in the TV, this show is cool and watchable. But I can't help but think that it would be far more awesome and better if they got rid of the real world part and renamed the show to : "Rumpelstiltskin: A megacrossover". Cause really, he handles the whole show's weight, while the Storybrooke part tends to get kind of boring.

I'll admit that Rumpelstiltskin is one of the most interesting characters, but I think that it's good to have the Storybrooke part to give the plot some focus.
