History Headscratchers / OnceUponATime

** Emma was pissed at him, that doesn't mean she hated him (she clearly didn't, as they [[JustForPun hook]] up two episodes later). The kiss itself didn't cause the curse, that was Zelena placing it on Hook's lips. Also, while the kiss wasn't accompanied by the [[BuffySpeak ripply-rainbow-effect-thing]] that comes with TrueLovesKiss, there was ''something'' in the form of a white light, so there probably was some form of magic involved.

** Heh. That certainly gives a different meaning to the trope of [[HasTwoMommies Has Two Mothers]]

In the season two episode "Lacey", Robin Hood shoots an Enchanted Bow and Arrow at Rumpelstiltkin for catching him as he is stealing a wand. This was before Rumpelstiltskin even threatened him. I understand that he was trying to save Maid Marian. However, this was not revealed at that point in the episode. However, his attempted killing of Rumplestiltskin it is treated very laxly. However, when Rumpelstitskin wants to kill him with the very same arrow, it treated as if Rumpelstiltkin is a horrible monster who is overeacting. I'm not defending Rumpelstiltkin for wanting to kill someone. However, it doesn't seem right that Robin Hood isn't treated with any scorn for trying to do the same thing to Rumpelstiltskin.

** Think of the Jedi in StarWars. Even the lightest of light-siders has ''dozens'' of kills (if you count the first Death Star, Luke's killed at least a ''million''). Sure, the policy is to try to talk their way out, or remove limbs instead of heads, but when the saber's lit, it's time to stop the enemy quickly or end up dead. When it's not a combat situation, and one has time to consider the possibilities, then you get into morality. Snow had options; give Cora the heart without strings and hope it would redeem her (the "Light" option), kill Cora by destroying the heart and allowing Rumple to die as well (the "Gray" option), use the life-exchange spell and then put Cora's heart back herself (the "Lesser Dark" action) or trick one enemy into killing the other (the "Dark High" option). No arguing that Cora needed to die; she just killed the old nanny ForTheLulz and was about to become an even bigger threat as the Dark One by killing Rumplestiltskin. However, Snow picked the method that earned her the highest number of Dark Side points, losing her Light side purity bonuses permanently.

** Heh. That certainly gives a different meaning to the trope of HasTwoMothers

* Didn't Rumple mastermind the curse as a way to be reunited with his son? But there's already the cabinet tree (which he should know about as a seer), beans and Jefferson's hat. Series/OnceUponATimeInWonderland has the White Rabbit and the mirror (although that might only be able to take people from The Enchanted Forest to Wonderland). It seems relatively easy for everyone else to get around through worlds, so why bother with the curse? ForTheEvulz? I just find it odd that it's apparently easier for the unpowered Knave to get around through worlds than it is for the near omnipotent Dark One.

** Look around the world. It's [[TruthInTelevision]]. Just because a guy is terrible doesn't mean that someone out there didn't find him at least attractive enough to mate with. Also, it may be that Malcolm wasn't always the way he was. He could have become the prick he is after Rump's mother died or left.

* Is he supposed to be the same one from OnceUponATimeInWonderland? Doesn't seem to add up since the Sultan here seems different [[spoiler:from the one that was his father and does this mean he and Jasmine are half-siblings? plus if he shows up in present day he would have to be a genie so I don't know.]]
** Either they are two different characters(Like the Ursulas) or [[spoiler: the backstory shown in wonderland happened a long time ago, since he killed the sultan-to-be and kidnapped the sultan, is probable another family rose to power, as it is never indicated that Jafar actually became sultan of Agrabah. Another possibility is that the Sultan's wife remarried(she was never mentioned) and that's Jasmine father]]

* In [[Recap/OnceUponATimeS2E13Tiny Tiny]], why do Gold, Emma and Henry need to go to Boston to take the plane to New York? There are airports in Maine, and by the time you're in Boston, you've gone around half of the way! Seems like another awkward moment where the writers act as if New England is a single two-square-feet state.

* After Belle loses her memories following Hook's attack, does she revert back to her cursed self? Was Lacey her identity when in the asylum or was this purely invented by Regina to spite Gold?

* In the flashback where Milah left Rumple and Baelfire for an adventure with Hook, Baelfire looks to be about 4 years old, so by the time he found the drawing, at least 10 years has gone by and his memory of his mother who was barely around towards the end would probably be a little hazy to non existent. He was also born in the late 1800’s or the early 1900’s, and he lived in a magical land so he couldn’t have had a photo of her. And it’s not like the drawing was super detailed and realistic, it wasn’t that specific that you could say it was for sure Milah, it looks like it could be any brown haired woman in the world, so again, how did Baelfire know that it was Milah in the drawing? Did he have a very good memory or did he puzzle the pieces together and guessed it?

** It makes him NotSoDifferent from Regina. Regina was willing to curse an entire realm because she was angry at Snow for something she did as a child. Greg was willing take away one of Henry's mothers because Regina took away his father. Don't kid yourself about motive, either. Greg and Tamara tried to blow up Storybrooke and kidnap Henry because the Home Office told them to. It had barely anything to do with Greg's father.

** As nice a thought as that is, it's {{Jossed}}. Season 7 shows that Wish!Rumple remained in his cell for years after the curse failed and eventually went mad from imprisonment. He never reunited with his son and was DrivenToVillany instead.
