OUAT – What the Flock?

Okay, some people have thought that I over analyze, and this might be the point I’ve gone over the edge, but here goes anyway.

So, in “7:15 AM” we see the storyline centering around Mary Margaret getting an injured Dove (some say a Pigeon) back to its flock. This is the flock she returned it to:

I started thinking that there were other flocks of birds I’ve seen in Once Upon a Time before. Now, I know I may be over analyzing, but I don’t think directors put in things for no reason. If they did in these situations, sorry, but I want to post this on the chance that these were placed here on purposes, for a reason in the storyline.

Flocks in the Pilot episode #1:

Flock #2:

and Flock #3 flying out ahead of the Dark Curse (right behind the mysterious dragon that we don’t talk much about (but I do)):

So, why post this? Well, we know that bluebirds transfer messages and maybe these flocks that are transferring information will fit into the storyline somehow, or maybe not. If not, please enjoy these lovely screenshots that some CG artist worked on for this show. 🙂

OUAT – The DNA of Stories (The Hero’s Journey)

I’ve mentioned Joseph Campbell, and his influence on George Lucas and Star Wars, but I also want you to consider the Once Upon a Time in this mix. Here is a very cool video showing the sections of Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey in three major motion picture stories;

Can’t you see Emma progressing through these sections? What do you think?

OUAT – What about the Genie’s Peacock necklace?

1 Reply

So, we see the Genie wearing this ornate Peacock necklace:

It is a peacock necklace, and there is a green hue to it. Peacock = changing colors. Got it. Sorta like a mood ring, but a necklace. However, something strange happened.

After the Genie is “set free” from being a Genie, the necklace loses it color:

Are we to assume that the necklace held some special power for the Genie, and when he was no longer a Genie, the power left the necklace (exhibited by no more color)? I’m also wondering if the necklace will show up in Mr. Gold’s shop, or Regina’s jewelry collection?

What do you think about this mysterious necklace?

OUAT – The Strange Man in the Cap at Granny’s Diner.

4 Replies

So, there was this man in a cap at the counter at Granny’s in “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree”:

Oh, and Mary Margaret was there, too. 😉

Anyway, so this strange man in the cap was at the counter eating or drinking something (I’m not sure what), and he was talking to the person next to him. I mean, that’s cool, right? Sure.

Then, I saw something – a payphone. Yup, a payphone. You remember kids, that was before iphones, Blackberries, pagers and smoke signals. Okay, I’m kidding about the smoke signals. Anyway, the capped man did something old school, he checked the change slot for change left by the last person using the payphone. Check it out:

I don’t think he found anything, he just got out of there:

I feel kinda bad for this guy. I mean if you gotta stoop to checking payphone change slots for change, life must be pretty tough for ya. I wonder if maybe he could get a second job sweeping sidewalks.

Hey, maybe he could buy a broom and start sweeping next to the mysterious Sweeper Woman outisde the boarded up Library and maybe hit her up for a date. Go for it, Man in the Cap! You bought could find love and keep Storybrooke’s sidewalks cleaner at the same time.

The Mysterious Mr. K – Who is he?

5 Replies

From the OUAT Fan Podcast Deputy Desk:

In the episode True North, we were introduced to an over-worked town records clerk by the name of Mr. Krzyszkowski or Mr. K

Does he have a fairy tale land counterpart? Or does he only exist in Storybrooke and is just a very hardworking government employee?
