Reaction POst - 1x04 - The Price of Gold

[n_e_star]

This is the place to talk about tonight's episode.

Emma tries to help a young pregnant woman escape from the clutches of Mr. Gold. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale world that was, Cinderella makes a regrettable deal with Rumplestiltskin.

There will be spoilers in the comments!

Curse details: Neither Emma nor Henry were touched by the curse, so they can leave. But like Henry pointed out, he's only ten and had to come back.

Amnesia and pregnancy: OMG, Cinderella/Ashley gestated for twenty-eight years! In this case, I'm thankful for the amnesia.

I'm still on the fence whether there are people in Storybrooke who weren't fairy tale characters.

I think there had to have been some kind of time travel that happened with Emma - so she ended up in Reality way before everyone else.

I mean, there's no way that everyone could have been hung in a limbo for 28 years.

I don't think they did hang in a limbo for twenty-eight years. They got up, went to work, came home, and beyond that nothing ever changed is what I was operating by. That way kids not under the curse (i.e. Henry) are still aging, but it never occurs to them to ask why none of the adults are sporting grey hairs yet. Or completely out of sync with the rest of Maine.

However time travel would neaten up the paradox for a change.

And something that occurred to me this morning, we have the first happy ending restored. Cinderella and her prince get to keep each other and their baby.

How else do you get the mayor to hire you? Or hell, trust you? She let him go tuck in Henry back in 1.01.

And now he's going to hire Emma. What happened to the Queen's Huntsman by the way?
