Hey everybody! Sorry about last week! It’s been a whirlwind adjusting to a new job, but I’m back. Production of the current season is due to wrap in the coming days. I know, we only JUST got started on 5B. TIME FLIES! But that won’t stop th theories coming and if I’m honest, once production wraps it’s easier to lay out all the evidence and theorize away. Today I’m breaking down a curious prop that appearered on set roughly around filming for the season finale: a door.
Yes friends, a door. In the scope of fairytales and the show, we’ve seen doors as portals, the beginnings of new chapters and adventures. The last time the audience saw a door being used was in 4×08 in a flashback where the Apprentice uses Merlin’s magic to open a portal for Ingrid to enter our realm circa 1982. Here’s what we know: Henry is going to have a chat with the deceased Apprentice in this week’s episode 5×15 “The Brothers Jones.” The Storybrooke heroes need to find a way out of the Underworld. Henry is the current author looking for the pen.
Here we go! The Apprentice knows the most about the extent of Henry’s author abilities. In Henry’s quest for finding the pen, what if the Apprentice sheds some light on Henry’s powers, the full extent of them? Maybe the way out of the Underworld isn’t by boat but by Henry writing a portal door in the plot of their story.
But it doesn’t stop there! We know that there is a door in our realm due to filming spoilers. The season is hopefully going to wrap up the unfinished business of 5A as well, so perhaps Henry writes up a portal door to allow the Camelot people to return to their world, as well as any Storybrooke characters who wish to return to their lands of origin. Then the question becomes “who will we be saying goodbye to at the end of S5 not limited to the form of death. And not JUST who will leave for their land, but who will come through the door… leading into the conflict of the new season.
As I just opened a new door of possibility, ponder and enjoy the current arc we’re on and prepare yourself for the adventure ahead!
