People and Places of "Once Upon A Time" Quiz

Answer: Storybrooke

Emma is skeptical when Henry mentions "Storybrooke". Emma notices Henry is carrying a large book that he explains to be a book of very unique fairy tails. Emma just assumes that Henry has concocted the town's name from his imagination merged with his book.

A great part of this drama is UNANSWERED questions. We viewers are left with as many, or more, questions as to just how Emma fits into the lives and situations of the residents of this small New England town.

Answer: Fairy Tale Land

Although, many people, places and situations are left unidentified for us the TV viewers, the fairy tale characters clearly live in Fairy Tale Land. And, many of their "back stories" are delightfully explained to us. With the interaction and intertwining of the characters, we wonder was this the original intent of fairy tale authors or is this amazing creative writing on the part of the staff of "Once Upon a Time".

Answer: The One Who Can Save Us

It would prove to be a very tough challenge convincing Emma that she was the one who could ultimately change the lives of every one around her. Henry, though, is completely confident in her from the very beginning. They had just met and she was driving Henry back to Maine, when Emma said "Kid, you've got problems." But Henry confidently replied, "Yup. And you're gonna fix them."

Answer: She can tell if someone is lying

Emma realized she possessed this unique ability even before Henry came into her life. The ability to read tell if someone is lying had served her well in her work as a bail bondsman. She really had NO idea how valuable the gift would be until she confronted even more formidable foes and situations.

Answer: Hands on the clock tower do not move

As long as Henry can remember the hands on the town's clock tower have remained in the same place. That is what every one else remembers as well. He considers it a definite sign that change is on its way when the very moment that he has convinced Emma to stay in town he looks at the clock - the minute hand clicks forward, Henry smiles broadly with a definite wishful look.

Answer: Hopper

Yes, Dr. Archie Hopper is also Jiminy Cricket. He is the favorite "conscience" and voice of reason for the town's residents. Exercising quite a bit of poetic liberty, Dr. Hopper shares his home with a gorgeous Dalmatian named Pongo. Until "Once Upon a Time", we did not expect the characters from the film "Pinocchio" (1940) to interact with the characters from the film "101 Dalmatians" (1961).

Answer: Rumpelstiltskin

Mr. Gold is (apparently) named to reflect on his life of spinning gold as Rumpelstiltskin. The creators/writers have taken many "poetic liberties" with the show, this character is among those. Mr. Gold not only doubles as Rumpelstiltskin but Rumpelstiltskin doubles as The Beast (we the viewing audience would suppose from the story of "Beauty and the Beast").

It does make for very interesting story lines when Rumpelstiltskin falls in love with Belle - in both worlds, though.

Answer: A werewolf

To learn that Red Riding Hood is the Big Bad Wolf is an awaking aspect of the well read children's story. A unique spin, indeed. It is explained as an inherited trait. Tough legacy. Oh, Granny is there to protect her, though. Granny got the red cloak Red wears from a wizard.

It is supposed to deter her when she is liable to "turn" or become a wolf/werewolf and thus protect the other people around her.

Answer: August

August Booth was very slow to reveal anything about himself to anyone in Maine. But it was evident he was a man on a mission. Henry befriended August from the beginning. Whether Henry's interest in the "stranger in town" was genuinely compassionate or completely curiosity would play a big part in the interaction among the other townspeople - especially Emma.

Answer: Raised letters spell O-U-T

Is this a subliminal suggestion to play on the word "out" or merely a co-incidence?
