Toma Cre wrote: Now, here's how it links in to the curse... in the original script for the pilot, Rumplestiltskin says that the curse is to affect all (magical) lands. (I have a feeling that this has been said somewhere else, but I can't quite remember.) Therefore, this means that time was frozen in all of the lands, even if nobody is cursed nor realises they aren't aging. This would explain why Alice does not age for the 28 years of the curse, if she was in Victorian England. It would also account for her father, although that takes much less expalining. And it also gives and explanation as to why nobody in Wonderland ages (specifically Anastasia and Lizard). I could be missing something here but why is an explanation needed at all about Alice and the rest of the Wonderland characters not aging? The entire OuaTiW timeline could have been concluded before Emma first arrived in Storybrooke i.e. during the 28 years when the first curse was active. Is there any event to suggest otherwise like Alice meeting a character from Storybrooke after the curse was broken?

Uhm, the fact that OUaTiW starts concurrently with S2 of OUaT, after the curse is broken...?
