We kind  of got off topic on the 4B spoilers board and someone suggested making it a new thread so here it is.

this is what was brought up:

''They didn't seem to recognize each other, though... Although that could easily be explained by the confusion of the Curse having just been broken and everyone trying to reconcile their Storybrooke identities and their Enchanted Forest identities (something that has NEVER been brought up again after We Are Both, despite being a pretty cool plotline. I for one, would've loved someone, anyone, asking Zelena if she was Defying Gravity. I mean, that arc canonically happened in 2012, Wicked existed by then, and these people had LWM memories. Their awareness of real world versions of their stories disappeared when the Curse did. But this is way off-topic.) ''

''that would've been nice to explore further. the only thing they really kept from their cursed lives (apart from jobs and dwellings) are their names, like David/charming is basically used interchangeably now. ''

''This. Exactly this. I would love to start a separate thread for this, 'cause I feel like I could talk about this for days, but I'm lazy. ''

and i agree there could be more to talk about with character counterparts, why some things are comtemporary while others are frozen in time, etc.

the frozen in time thing: like the hospital uniforms (no nurse has dressed that way since the 70s) and vehicles seem dated, yet cell phones seem relatively current (maybe a couple years old) as well as the fashion seen around town. they have a retro firetruck but modern internet.the town seems very eclectic with so many time periods.
