It's no Mansquito but I'm enjoying it.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.
OuaT:
I think the stuck in time thing works like this:
Everyone under the spell goes about their daily lives, and have a history, but things get fuzzy about the past. Maybe there's a five year fade out, or something. Either way, they don't realize that things haven't changed much in the town. (People not aging, ETC.) The spell keeps things bustling along, and the townspeople don't leave.
I bet they get visitors very seldom. There may be a Somebody Else's Problem field or a Sunnydale amnesia going on, too.

One thing I noticed last night - the "happy endings" don't seem to have been universal even before the change to the "real" world. Cinderella certainly wasn't having one - basically trading her baby for her prince. Rumplestiltskin's forcing unhappy endings on people (OMG! he killed the fairy godmother!) in both worlds.

I don't really like the mixing of the Cinderella story with Rumplestiltskin's, and why would he tell her his name? Isn't that supposed to be the source of power over him?

Obviously, he's moved to a new level of evil and uses contracts with an open-ended obligation, not just a verbal agreement.

yeah, I figured everyone knew his name after he was defeated in the original fairytale.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why have I not seen one of these before? In retrospect, it seems totally obvious...

Ha, nice! We bought a friend a cute little mini-fridge once, but that looks awesome.
