I want to know what it means to be the next author after Henry broke the pen.

Koda

^ Yeah, I've been wondering about that as well. There's gotta be a reason why they chose to keep Isaac alive, though, and I suppose we don't really know yet how being attacked by the darkness affected the Apprentice. I'm sure the author plot is not something they're intending to just drop next season.

@Maggie: Totally agree about Jared, he did a fabulous job!

Zimane

I don't think the sorcerer's apprentice will survive. He fulfilled his purpose.

sourburst

^Same here

Zimane

He will die in episode 501 in my opinion. Or maybe they only write some dialogue that says he died in Gold's shop when they come back.

Koda - I meant to ask. Can I use one of your avatars with Robin & Henry?

Maggie_R

Wow, I just realized... if the Apprentice dies, who will train Henry on being the Author?

Noooooooo the Apprentice cannot die! I love Timothy Webber, he was fantastic!! I truly hope he stays... He'd be one hell of a great teacher to Henry.

Koda

That's why I've been wondering if they kept Isaac alive for a reason. There would have been quite a few opportunities to get rid of him, but the writers made sure he even stayed in Storybrooke at the end of the finale. Not that Isaac would be my first choice for the job, for obvious reasons, but... who knows what the writers have in mind.

Zimane

Maybe if Merlin isn't evil he could be a guidance for Henry too.

Has one of you read the story Her where Regina and Robin raise Zelena's daughter together with the boys? Is it good?

Koda

I think it's more of a combination of related one shots rather than a multi-chapter story if we're thinking of the same one, but I do like it. The only thing that I'm a bit on the fence about is the kiddo's name and what it implies, but that's just me and it's really no big deal. Great exploration of the family dynamic, though, and I'm enjoying the perspective of what it would mean for the child to know and worry about Zelena being her biological mother. It's heartbreaking in a way because it's like history repeating itself for the Mills women, Regina did have some of the same fears with regards to her mother too, after all.

Neverlight

Thank you! I will start reading it today.

Zimane

I haven't heard of this fic. Do you have a link?

Koda

Here you go: Her by Lala Kate

The story is a very touching one and I really liked it. But it reminded me once more that if Zelena's baby is born, she will definitely be Merida... and that's totally the dream child I had for Robin and Regina... Damn you A&E....
