Here is a screencap of Henry’s book showing the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland:
Will we be seeing the characters from Alice in Wonderland as their real world counterparts in Storybrooke? What do you think?
Here is the War Council shown in the Once Upon a Time Pilot episode:

I am speechless.
When I started creating audio and podcast in the mid 2000’s, I never thought I would reach this level. I have learned by watching others, listening to what worked for them and trying just about everything under the sun. I have started many podcasts that no one (or very few people) cared about would be very true, but the days leading up to starting this podcast was different. I slowly stepped back into the podcasting by posting Once Upon a Time blog posts, and when they begin to get traffic like a magnet, I waited to see how long the show would last. I said, “Okay if it makes it past 3, I will consider it”. It did, and then I asked the most important decision of my life – I asked my wife to co-host. She is my best friend, my wife and the best co-host anyone could have. She said yes and I furiously put together all the steps I had learned from Dave Jackson (http://schoolofpodcasting.com/), Cliff Ravenscraft (http://podcastanswerman.com/), and others along the way. Things just began to fall into place. We got our first email feedback, our first voicemail feedback, the likes began to grow on our FB fan page, the traffic to the website went through the roof and now this incredibly humbling achievement. This means alot to me. I want to say a few things;
Thank you, and
We are just getting started. We will do our best to bring you the best ONce Upon a Time Fan podcast and blog we can do, and
We appreciate each and every one of you. The listeners, subscribers, rate and reviewers, FB and Twitter friends, feedbackers, we can not do this without you all and any success we share with you all. Thanks so much again. We are so humbled and so excited to move forward with all of you.
So, we know that Prince Charming’s Mother gave him that ring to marry King Midas’ daughter:
Here’s a better look:
We see MMB playing with it as she waited for DN to arrive:
We also have seen MMB playing with it previously in episode 3 “Snow Falls,” as she watches David and Katherine embrace at the hospital:
and on the steps to her upper floor directly after in the same episode:
The most amazing thing I found is this picture of the ring:
Regina was wearing it in episode 5 “That Still Small Voice”:
So, how did Regina get the ring? We are seeing some time shifted scenes in this show. Meaning that the scenes we see in the Fairy Tale world are not in sequence. For instance in the pilot, we see Snow White marry, then she is pregnant. We see the dance sequence with Cinderella in another episode. So, we can assume that the scenes we are seeing in Storybrooke aren’t in the sequence that we are seeing, either.
I think that Regina asked Rumpelstiltskin to conjure or bring Katherine into Storybrooke to insure that MMB and DN would not end up together. Perhaps the scene when Regina is wearing the ring is after Katherine is gone or removed from the situation? Maybe Katherine is Maleficent (transform by another curse, maybe)? At this point, anything is possible. What do you think?
Note: Read the comments below. Some feel that this isn’t the same ring. That’s cool. I could be wrong, but I just wanted to pass along what I thought.

These are initial thoughts I jotted down or that came up during my viewing of Once Upon a Time’s “The Shepherd” episode. As the week goes on, some of these will become blog posts or topics of discussion in the podcast.
1. Shepherd boy becomes dragon slayer. Similar to David in the Bible, except he slayed a giant.
2. Jacob and Esau in the Bible. Trickery and passing a brother off as another for riches.
3. Katherine is left-handed. Just noting that.
4. David Nolan said the Savior, saved him. That’s three people, so far.
5. Widmore from Lost makes his appearance.
6. Evil warrior looked like the bad guy in Willow.
7. PC’s armor looked very Roman.
8. Rumpelstiltskin reminds me a bit like Jacob in Lost. He appears at very influential points in time to nudge people to do a certain thing.
9. Rumpelstiltskin can’t bring the dead to life. “Dead is dead,” as they said in Lost.
10. Rumpelstiltskin told Prince Charming, “There is another”. That is what Yoda told Obi Wan when Luke left Dagobah.
11. The story point that there are twins was used in Star Wars.
12. MMB’s blouse looked very princess-like. The cut of it looked like an early drawing of a gown Princess Leia wore, actually.
13. Painting behind David and Katherine Nolan on the couch looked like an artistic representation of Pinocchio. Log in the middle, branches growing above, legs growing out from beneath.
14. When the shepherd returned with the one sheep, I was reminded of the Bible verse talking about the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep to save the 1.
15. Prince Charming asking his Mother, “Why didn’t you tell me?” Was exactly what Luke was calling out to Ben after Luke’s initial battle with Darth Vader.
16. Regina works in Storybrooke, as Rumpelstiltskin does in Fairy Tale Land to nudge people in certain directions to do certain things.
17. The green ring that Prince Charming Mother gave him… Oh, but that will have to wait for a very interesting screencap I have.
