ouatLate, but not too late I hope, I have the discussion questions for Tiny. And my review (which I also put up late) is here.
1. Okay. Why did Gold fly? Beyond the meta reason that the writers liked the idea. Since he drove to Logan already, driving the rest or taking the train would make the most sense. Reasons I've come up with: Gold has no experience in the real world and this shows it, and/or this is remnant of the curse memories in which Boston represents the WHOLE outside world.
2. Do you think he lost his magic at the airport? I was under the impression that magic ended at the border (unless you have a talisman or magical item - as it worked in Storybrooke pre-curse breaking) but it is certainly possible he thought he had a way around it.
3. What exactly do you think Regina is up to this episode? On one hand she wasn't at all upset that Tiny wanted to kill Charming and was happy to help him, but on the other, she mentioned needing a distraction. A distraction from what?
4. And how hard is it to keep track of a limping, barely able to move pirate? You know, the one who was handcuffed and should have remained handcuffed since he shot someone? It seems the FTL way is to ignore all known criminals. (even the ones without magic who can't *poof* away) Only Emma cared if Hook was locked up and she is out of town.
5. The giants talked about the 100 year bean harvest. I'm thinking that they may be waiting a while to get out of Storybrooke if magic beans are their method of choice.
6. Also, FTL certainly has some very messed race relations. First we find out the dwarfs are created as what is basically a slave race. And now we have humans committing genocide against the giants. The more we learn about FTL the more it seems an unpleasant place to live.
7. Do you think that the curse might not really be about Bae? Even if Rumpel thinks it is. In this episode we have canon that the beans have been around all the time he was crafting the curse. Either Rumpelstiltskin is much less intelligent and resourceful that we have been led to believe or maybe someone is making sure he doesn't get here some other way.
8. David is...David. Completely obvious in retrospect (a shepherd who becomes king) but since he is the only cursed person to keep his birth name as far as we know, I rather wonder if this was a little in-joke by Regina. Very few people know he is David and not James. Even Grumpy was never told!
9. So. Is this how they have decided to keep Belle safe? By lying to her, sedating her, and keeping her in the hospital right next to Greg! Not only is Belle being terribly mistreated (and since she is physically FINE, why is she still in the hospital?), but if they want Greg to go away none the wiser this is not the best course of action.
