Board Thread:Spoilers!/@comment-26443838-20161121222935

Since we were spoiled that this season is a vibe to the first, here are some vibes or reflections to the first season:

-A Cinderella focus appeared and Emma helped her like in season 1. And the flashback of Ella has the Charmings involved again.

-Billy/Gus returns and shows up this season, just like how he appeared in season 1. Even though it is only for a flashback.

-If we see Lily again, I can see Charming being the one to help her find her father and get them both back together, because he would not like seeing people go through his fate (losing his father). It would reflect to how Hansel and Gretel got reunited reunited with their father.

-Like from season 1 to 2, King George is once again going to try and come between Snowing like the Queen.

-Like how Charming got Abigail and Frederick back together after freeing him from his golden curse, we saw Snow got Ella and Thomas back together (with the help of Gus).

-Like in season 1, August is back in action and might help Emma on the way again. But since he was just announced since after the nine episode was filming, I'm not sure if he is appearing before winter break. He'll probably show up more in the second half and take action then just like he did in the second half of season 1.

-Like in season 1, Jiminy becomes the Psychiatrist for one of our majors like from season 1. First little Henry, and now Emma.

-Like in season 1, we are seeing Snow as a teacher again.

-Like Regina, the Evil Queen cast a protection spell to keep everyone from leaving the town.

-Like Regina in season 1, the Evil Queen is the main villain of the season and wishes to bring chaos

-Like Rumple, Mr. Hyde somehow became the new Mr. Gold when claiming Storybrooke by Rumple. But it appears that it will be briefly, because we have not seen him or Jekyll filming lately after the Strange Case episode.

-Like Season 1, we get to see a flashback on how Snowing met (even though not face to face). And Like in Snow Falls, they save each other from villains.

-Like what Henry did with Emma in season 1, Jasmine seeked out Aladdin's help to save Agrabah because he is a savior. A vibe to the Pilot episode.

-Since we were somehow spoiled that this is the year of Snowing, we seem to be getting a lot more focus on the Charmings this time. Just like season 1 to 3. Much better than season 4 &amp; 5 to be honest. And already we seem to getting or having plenty of focus on them. We will be getting a untold story for Snow. We are already getting focus on Charming for the journey and true story about his father and him searching for his killer. Both of them being targets of the Queen (mostly Snow). And their connection with the count. And the likely friendship betwen Snow and Jasmine who we are about to see in this coming episode.

-Since we were somehow spoiled/predicted that one of the nine regulars might be leaving the show before Feb sweeps. And if it mean a major might die off in ep 10, it would be just like how Graham/Huntsman gets killed off. And most likely it would lead to Belle's son being named after the major fallen, just like Neal and Robin.

-The mirror that the Evil Queen uses to trap Emma and Regina (the one that Emma and Regina originally planned to use on her), is the same mirror that the genie kept with him inside his lamp in "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree", the mirror that he later showed the Evil Queen in the same episode.

-We will see David's time as a shepherd like in season 1, event though we saw it in season 4 as well.
