He definitely has stuff from the other world, but maybe not every item has magic in it. But I'm pretty sure the stuff in the mine would.

Hmmm...Didn't David "regain his memory" about his wife Katherine and his Storybrooke home, due to something in Gold's shop? A little Veranda or clock or something? The impression I've gotten, is that David had been in a coma since arriving in Storybrooke from Fairytale land, if so, that memory was false, so perhaps created by magic.

He never left our world. Think about it. IF he had at the end of his previous episode and was watching his daughter from some other world, when Regina notified him and he came running to find out what she wanted, don't you think he would have brought some magic with him to power the hat since he knew it wouldn't work in storybrooke?

That makes sense, but that is some pretty sophisticated(and confusing) editing for what is in the end a family show. Why have that final scene in Jefferson's first episode with him trapped somewhere else right after he disappears(apparently) from our world? That is some straight-up narrative trickery that should have at least warranted a throwaway line in this latest episode, "I've been laying low in my mansion hiding from Sheriff Swan." or something along those lines.

And it strikes me as quite odd in a show that is generally pretty overt in hammering home its narrative and dramatic points. It hasn't been a subtle show, until now apparently.
 
It wasn't subtle, it was clumsy. The scene with him making hats was a flashback to being trapped in wonderland. Nothing more. It's the placement of the scene at the end of that episode that led to some confusion.
 
^^ Yeah, that scene was definitely a flashback.

There was definitely something he recognized in Gold's shop, like an old clock; I can't remember the details at the moment.
 
^Yeah it was an old clock, and then he saw the same thing outside his and Katherine's house I believe. I noticed in the episode before this one that the mobile above Emma's cot is in Gold's shop.
 
It was a little windmill.

Katherine mentions him not liking the windmill that used to be outside their home. We later see a windill (full size, I think) outside the farmstead he lives with his real mother in fairtaleland. He then sees a miniature of this same windmill in Gold's shop I says "I think this belongs to me," or something of that sort.

dJE
 
Ah, the windmill, now I'm remembering-- maybe that means I've broken the curse. :rommie:

I wonder if it's just a model or the actual windmill shrunken down to mini-golf size.
 
Not surprising, but good to have confirmation.

I'm surprised it still matters what a show is paired with these days. I never watch anything in real time anymore.
 
WELCOME TO THE BITTER END!!!!

By the way.

FUCK YOU BITTER END!

Jennifer Morrison did 130 episodes of House and she never believed in magic once despite being confronted with impossible medical cases weekly.

Blooper real...

"Are yu sure it's not Sarcodosis? Possibly lupis? Then it has to be cancer? Order a frakking CT and a lumbar puncture..."

Jennifer's head must have been realling.

Yes the actress.

130 episodes of House.

Restraining her inner Dr Allison Cameron must have been strenuous.

Gods.

Just imagine Cameron saying to House: "I think it's a magical curse."
 
That was quite an ending. Looks like we'll be in for something different in season 2. I could have sworn that I saw a promo for the show involving Jack and the beanstalk, but we never got an episode with that. Oh well. Also, did time stop again at the end?
 
Reminds me of the end of season one V with the Red Rain.

No one took out Regina?

"You better run"?

What a fricking fairy!

The nun should have decked and the rest of the hospital staff should have removed her limbs.

Where's the fricking venom?

They'd been cursed by a witch!

It's not like some of us haven't spent the last 20 weeks being taught how to make good on a revenge.

ARGGGHHH!

Mmmmmmmmmeanwhile...

"I've run out of magic."

"I have no magic."

Except the big honking dragon i keep locked up under the town.

Screw the dragon vs. Emma.

I would rather have seen two blond ladies in their 30s kicking each other in the crotch over and over again.

I've seen girls fight for real.

That's all they do.
 
Guy, sometimes I think you're crazy. Other times I think you're a poet. Then other times I think both are the same.
 
My wife thinks that since the clock went back to 815 the curse has been reinstated. I think our world now has magic.
 
I aim to please, but I miss a lot.

if August had "tricked" Emma into falling in love with him, would it have cured him of his woodenness? or would it have cured im of his fleshiness since wood is his natural form. And if she was in love with August, according to Lear, there's finite love to spread a round, but then who says that true love is a whole, lot of love.

But if they hadn't 5 minutes earlier convinced Emma that magic existed. she would have met Meliflicent who thought she was a dragon rather than an actual dragon just like she couldn't see Pinochio's wood.

In fact, anyone sent down there other than Regina, August, Gold, Henry or Emma was just going to see a really bitter Cougar with an egg stuck in her windpipe.

C'mon, they were still in shock. They'd just undergone the human equivalent of a blue-screen/reboot. A few more minutes to recover, and they would've formed a posse and gone after her. And besides, there was no magic in Storybrooke at that moment - she was still dangerous, but it wasn't like she could take on the whole town...Oops. Thanks a lot, Rumpy.

I do agree they were a bit too quick to deal with Maleficient. How do we meet Princess Aurora now?
