There was some sort of time travel/transporter incident that resulted in amnesia and since Emma looked just like his wife... Unfortunately, he was returned to his own time before Henry was born and promptly forgot about his trip to the past with a similar bout of amnesia.

Which makes it terribly creepy because his grandfather is [[The Mighty Thor (Film)|Fandral]], one of Thor's best friends. And you don't sleep with your best friend's daughter?! Also, apparantly [[Captain America the First Avenger|Bucky]] is alive and has a secret daughter and can travel through worlds with a magic hat.

* There's a theory mentioned above that Regina was the Miller's daughter (hence her "earth" last name of Mills), and if this was true, it would somewhat explain her hatred of Snow White/Mary Margaret.

** Not really. "Snow Falls" (at least the fairy tale parts) takes place ''immediately'' after "The Shepherd", and in "Snow Falls", Snow White has been wanted for such a long time that even ''a shepherd'' knows about her. There's no way that James could have been standing in for his dead brother long enough for the first part of the "[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (Literature)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]" story to play out. They didn't even bother training him to go after the dragon and right after that was over, he and Abigail (who was wearing the same dress) left.

In Episode 19, he asked the Blue Fairy if there was a curse to get to the "world without magic" that Baelfire went to. This eventually leads him to make the Dark Curse. Counting on Regina being willing to do anything to get back at Snow White for her perceived crime against her, he tells Regina about the curse. Rumpelstiltskin knew that (at least) he would remember his life in the Fairytale world, because he would need his memories to try and find his son in the other world. The curse is designed to keep them all in Storybrooke purposefully, so Rumpel can narrow down which of the city's residents is his son.

August mentions being on "an island where all your fantasies come true" during the twenty-eight years between Emma's arrival and the present. He may have been on the actual island from the story, simply transported to a different place in the real world than Storybrooke (possibly because it was powered by dark magic). After August manages to leave, the Ringmaster will realize that he's headed towards the only person who can break the curse, and restore his powers. He and his minions will follow him to Storybrooke and attempt to gain that small amount of magic in this world for himself.

* The island was Phuket, Thailand; August specifically said so. It's simply a nod on the show's part to the Pleasure Island of the story, as Phuket is the closest thing the real world has.

* When [[Disney]] took a shot at Oz, they used elements of the second and third books [[Land of Oz (Literature)|(there are forty in all - 14 alone are Baum's)]] to make one ''hell'' of a HONF-loaded [[Cult Classic]] in the form of [[Return to Oz]]. It would make for an interesting twist, especially since the original Baum could get bloody ''terrifying'' in places.

Although she has only appeared in a few episodes, so far she seems to have circumvented the [[Equivalent Exchange]] rule of the fairy tale world (Thomas' disappearance was caused by breaking the deal with Rumpelstiltskin, rather than the quill's creation). However, it's possible that her powers only extend to delaying the price of the spell. After countless years of dark magic building up to balance her good deeds, but not being able to act upon anything, eventually the Dark Curse was formed and continued to become stronger and stronger.
