Hi all! Most of you won't remember, but last year I made some pretty good theories about the end of Season 2. This year I was MIA due to a lot of work (I'm a writer and a literature teacher). Anyways. I have some theories for S4, and I wanted to share.

(BTW, I tried to put this on a blog, but it seems it's been disabled :?)

THE FACTS, AKA why this could have been the series finale, and not just the season:

1. Snow and Charming. They have their happy ending. They finally have a baby they can spoil as much as they want. This is what writers and mean people know as "let me see what I can do to ruin their day".

2. Belle and Rumple. Yay! They're finally married. Now, IF Rumple had given her his dagger, this could have been the series finale. We know there are many ways to dispose of someone, like making Zelena kill herself, or let a piece of the ceiling fall on her. He wouldn't have harmed her.

3. Hook and Emma. After that long kiss, do we really care if they live happily ever after? (hey, stay with me for theories, ok?)

4. Regina-Robin-Marian. If, somehow, Marian would have been dead at the end of this season (specially NOT from the hand of the Evil Queen)... Regina and Robin would have had their happy ending.

5. Henry. Even with his father dead... he has the coolest family ever!

THE THEORIES - or, where I suppose all those facts will lead to S4:

1. Snow and Charming. They're just so happy together, right? Let us see what we can do to ruin that:

2. Belle and Rumple. What will happen when Belle notices she has a hoax dagger, and not the original? and how will that happen? My guess: Rumple will try to harm someone, she'll try to stop him, with no result. She won't take it so nice.

3. Hook and Emma. Do they actually live happily ever after? So far, their relationship has been focused on a lot of other things... revenge on Rumple, going back to Storybrooke, revenge on Rumple, taking Neal back to Storybrooke, revenge on Rumple, rescuing Henry, rescuing Emma's parents... they hadn't actually have the time to develop a relationship for themselves. We might actually see that.

4. Regina-Robin-Marian. It seemed as Regina was about to revert. It seemed as Robin forgot completely about Regina. Notice I said "seemed". I don't think Regina will revert so easily, specially since she has just recovered Henry. Nor I think Robin will forget Regina. Nor Marian will forgive her. This is going to be a very strong line this season.

5. Henry.First of all, is he magical too? So far, he has demonstrated to knightley qualities. And, he's growing really fast. I think his character is full of possibilities, but that would depend on how the story develops.

Well, those are my strongest, most certain theories for now. I'll post some others regarding my long shots about Will Scarlet and Elsa on a different thread. Let me know what you think.
