Speculation time

Okay; what I prefer in series are foreshadowings or when a sentence / action echoes another sentence / action that will occur in another episode.

So I can't help looking for some.

And I noticed that since the start of season 3, Varian has (or sometimes almost) fallen into the void, several times, and ends up being saved inextremist.

On the 7 episodes in which he appears, he misses falling into a vacuum (sometimes several times) in 4 episodes:

Episode 1: 1 time, he misses being thrown overboard

Episode 5: well... he fall from the small boat but I don't count it

Episode 6: none, but he just appears as a child, he wasn't really important in this episode

Episode 8:none, but he wasn't really important in this episode ever

Episode 9: 1 time, when the shell escapes Rudiger and Max, and it starts to fall (however, there, he was in company, so I don't know if we can really count it)

Episode 10: 3 times, once when he is on his way to Demanitus' machine with Rapunzel. The other times by climbing the rocks to reach the black rock

Episode 13-14: 2 times, once in his nightmare with Zhan tiri and when he gets carried away by the power wave of rapunzel and cassandra

However in each episode where we focus on him we are entitled to a scene where Varian risks dying from a fall in the void, with a plan on him falling

So I was wondering, is this just a detail, to build up the pressure during the episode or is it a foreshadowing of the end that awaits Varian. Someday, he will fall but for good this time

Maybe it's just extrapolation but I tell myself that the series is written well enough to put things like this in place:

There are also other times when Varian falls, in season 1 when he sings and when he goes to get the flower with rapunzel but since the start of the season 3 it's doesn't stop.

There is also this moment from season 1. I know that Varian isn't falling here (on the contrary),

but I have a feeling of similarity: varian is attracted to a potentially lethal center I don't know if you see. And when I saw this scene for the first time I always thought that it would return later in the series. Also the color of the device is green like the one wich is associated to Zhan Tiri, wich can reinforce the theory where Varian is linked to Zhan Tiri or will be involving with him. Maybe it's Zhan Tiri who is going to make Varian fall. But it's maybe nothing.

Maybe if he is linked to Zhan Tiri, he will be forced to fall from somewhere because it would be a sort of sacrifice???

Or maybe Varian will fall but of his own free will, to save everyone

Tha't all :), feel free to add something or to comment and remember it's just speculations ^^
