-What is this 'Regina taught me how to have hope' crap? Snow taught herself that because Regina was persecuting her! Jesus! Not a great message imo-'If you're severly mistreated by a parent and you learn to be hopeful afterwards, then it's all okay!'
They didn't say that. Nevertheless, I'd agree that Eva and more so herself were bigger influence than Regina.
I don't think the "oracle" was really herself let alone an Oracle- I do believe it is Jafar in disguise. It is not farfetched to see that he could shift into the girl, possibly taking something from her to create a perfect likeness. We know that it was the same girl from the first scene with Aladdin, but she never states being an oracle in this scene, before she is violently thrust aside by Jafar... she had no staff then, and highly unlikely Jafar would have treated such a power as an all-seeing Oracle so carelessly- Jafar knows about other saviors, he has Iago (the red bird), tells Hyde in LoUS, who then just sets Emma up to locate Jafar, who uses the persona of an Oracle to explain how he knows such, preying on her sudden onset of the tremors, just letting her paranoia take over the rest to create a self-fulfilling prophecy as she starts to suspect everyone not on her side in the vision, and right now Regina is the perfect scapegoat
As for the Rumbelle- OMG, I loved the dance (why can't we have balls??? I so just want to get dressed up like Sarah from Labyrinth and dance until midnight like Cinderella) OK... Back on topic, the dreamworld seems off to me: I know that Rumple and Belle's future podgeny is not going to literally be Morpheus but someone taking the diety form, but is it baby Stiltskin... I don't think so. My guess is that it is someone that truly loves Belle (how the kiss worked) but loathes Rumple- likely her father, has gotten help to piggyback into the dreamworld with the sand from someone with alternate plans, mostly because I don't believe an unborn child no matter it's magical potential could possibly know about Milah and Baelfire.
He was listening to the conversation and I guess knows what Belle knows, either of the 2.
He was in Belle's dream, meaning he was in Belle's head too. That is how he probably knows everything she knows.
During the scene with Regina's voice-over monologue, the scene changed to show the people in the diner, and there was a particular shot of a very Evil Queen-esque dress that a woman was wearing. For a second there, I thought that was really the EQ in the diner.
I think the person in Emma's vision under the hood is actually Lilly! I mean isn't she all of Emma's darkness. Emma would not need a serum or anything to seperate her evil side as it already exists in Lilly. LoUS is the perfect way to explain Prince Philips soul and how it was returned and we still need more of the Sleeping Beauty story which is still mostly "untold" and Emma and Lilly fighting to the death may send Malificent into a rage and we have a new villian for a few episodes.
I very hate the fact that they changed Jafar from Naveen to Oded! Naveen indeed a perfect Jafar! They must replace him back!
Naveen was busy, so they had to recast. They won't switch back to Naveen, as that would be too confusing.
