^I've been thinking of other "Swan" related things and one thing I thought of is the term, "swan song," which is a metaphorical phrase meaning the last effort/performance before death or retirement. So I wonder if the writers have already planned how they want the show to end... with Emma bringing back the fairytale world but at the cost of her own life. Also, a "swan song" is alluded to in Aesop fable's, "The Swan Mistaken for A Goose." So it also has roots in fables and fairytales. Whether or not this they end up true I find it fun hypothesizing about what the different meanings of characters names/stories/ect are. Apparently, I have too much time on my hands!
Oh btw, when I said swan princess in my post #337 I should I have said, do you think she is suppose to be the swan princess from swan lake? Swan lake is technically a ballet but it has it's roots in Russian fairytales. So it's sort of plausible.
