What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's funny about the horse, sumi. I'm liking Secret Circle, too. More than TVD at the moment. I think my favorite thing is that no one seems to really know what's what, And it matters to at least some characters when other characters die. I find the whole intertwined family business confusing (the current circle's parents made up the previous circle, but 6 makes a circle and it seems like hardly anyone marries (or procreates) outside the circle? And it's convenient how all the previous circle had babies at the same time so they could be in the same high school class), but if I don't think about it very much it doesn't bother me, and not thinking about it is pretty easy so far.

Huh. They went there. The CW is a ballsy little almost-network.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not from the most recent episode. I haven't even finished that. That was when they killed Nick. I *really* wasn't expecting that death to stick. They had someone's DAD kill one of the protagonist kids. I also wasn't expecting it to happen because of the needing six thing, but I guess Jake will be hanging around one way or another, which kind of makes me think there must be a redemption storyline in his future--they better make it good.

How old are these kids? Fay was having sex with Jake more than two years ago? Naughty!

Yeah, that was legitimately shocking.

They've been pretty vague about ages, come to think of it. Maybe there is more of a range than I've been assuming.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

TB,

I don't think so. I think he is the woodsman from Snow White who refused to cut out SW's heart.

What I want to know is why Prince Charming gets a real name while Snow White is stuck with Snow?

Ginger,

we may yet get another name for her. They are providing info in drips and drabs. Then too, I thought Snow White was her name. Like the name her mother gave her!

I never really thought about it in the fairy tale, but when the Evil Queen says things like "I must get revenge for what Snow took from me," it sounds odd.

Speculation on how they keep OAUpT going for a second season if they have one. Maybe lifting the curse does not get them back to fairytale land? Magic works here, but differently, so nobody knows how to get back. From there all sorts of paths the show could take.

For instance:once the curse is lifted, all sorts of anomalies start showing up in government databases, so heroes and villains have to band together to stay out of secret government detention facilities... Except some of the villains (or maybe some of the heroes) betray them all and do a deal with the government and they have to deal with that as well. Just one example, but once it is established that lifting the curse does not return them to their home, there are lots of ways to move forward.

I think it is her name. I'm mainly distracted by the fact that her lips should really be redder.
