So who do you think Tamara and Greg really are? Some sort of scientist type thing? I kept picturing Greg as Dr. Whale's long lost brother after watching the promo for next week's episode... Any ideas?
Also: NEVERLAND!!!! Squeeeee!!!!

spoilers, kind of

The producers confirmed a while ago they were what we saw, they don't have a fairytale counterpart.

Dissapointing, I know.

Yeah, I know they don't have FTL counterparts, but the whole science sequence made me think of Dr. Whale. And Greg Mendel was a Catholic botanist.

I haven't seen the promo, but the reference to Whale must have been intentional. Maybe they're ordinary humans, but work for or with an organisation that does span across worlds somehow? (Catholic botanist, really? Because I like to think the Catholic church is such an organisation - Snow and Charming were married by some sort of bishop -, though I doubt that will come up.) I also feel that maybe Tamara's grandmother is someone significant; doesn't August say that she and her grandmother killed the dragon? That was weird.

Spoilers!

Well, it wasn't a direct reference to Whale, but the while lab setting made me think of him immediately. You can see the promo here: http://perezhilton.com/2013-04-29-once-upon-a-time-second-star-to-the-right-promo-watch-here#.UYLoM8rNis8

And I agree that Tamara's grandmother could be important. Also, what was that show that was on very briefly on ABC on Thursdays, Zero Hour, I think it was? Perhaps it could be something like that...

Thanks! I was also thinking of the end of episode 20, where Tamara or Greg say something like "not magic, science!", which was almost exactly, or even exactly what Frankenstein said when reviving his brother. So far, there hasn't really been any follow up on why we're getting a glimpse into another - Frankenstein's - world, so I feel it'd make sense for that to be important again in the future.
I'm not familiar with Zero Hour, I just found that it's about a large conspiracy...?

Ah, i thought it was something about tracking magical things. Never mind...
