Revealing mistake: After the scene with Emma and Henry at the playground, there is a wide shot of Storybrooke Main Street. As the camera pans down, in the upper right hand corner, you can see the clock tower, but without the top two stories (the top two layers of the clock tower, including the clock, are CGI).

Once Upon a Time (2011)
1 revealing mistake in Desperate Souls - chronological order
Starring: Robert Carlyle, Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jared Gilmore
Visible crew/equipment: After Emma and Henry meet Archie in the streets of Storybrooke, as Emma opens and closes her car door, a reflection of a white lighting screen and a camera can be seen on the door. (00:17:00)
Mr. Gold: She now thinks she's a scantily clad barfly named Lacey. She has a false life, like you did under the curse with Kathryn, only hers apparently involves a lot more alcohol.
Trivia: In the scene at the airport where Mr. Gold, Emma and Henry are standing in line for the security check, the three children waiting right in front of them are Robert Carlyle's own children, acting as extras. (00:16:45)
Question: If Rumplestiltskin can see the future, why is he always surprised when bad things happen?





Chosen answer: Even if one can see the future, it can be somewhat vague and left open to interpretation.

He can sees the future all jumbled up. It is like a puzzle, it is hard to put together, but even when he does put it together it is not set in stone the future can change.
