The Wish Realm stuff makes everything even more confusing. By now I think they shouldn't have done these various different time speeds and realms etc. I just can't keep up anymore. The writers themselves probably don't care about making real sense of the time connections. They just say that time moves differently there and there and there and that explains it. I don't think we're supposed to try and measure what a year in Storybrooke means for a year in NEF or whatever realm.

Concerning Hook finding Rapunzel years and years before Emma created the Wish Realm itself.. I'd say that when the realm was created by her wish, obviously everyone in it was created with a past too. I mean Emma was a princess and she probably had a whole past in that realm that we just never got to know about. So of course Hook can have another past too and it makes it easier that they connected it to Regina because that shows very explicitly that Regina's failed curse is the reason that their paths started to change, hence she was the one who made him go to the tower.

I loved both the episodes. We're finally getting to some core points of the overall story, I feel. The season has been getting better and better. Let's hope it stays that way.
