All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, really? I liked Life so much. I've been debating watching Awake - I like the main actor but the premise is one I could either love or hate.

Awake was beautifully executed and I can kind of see the comparison to Life, but Awake doesn't have any of the whimsy. It may be the most depressing pilot I've ever seen. Very good, but very, very sad.

OUAT - it struck me - the writer, August - could this be a time warp kind of thing and he's actually Henry, grown up outside the town and come back to steer things the way they should go?

I'm 3-4 eps behind on this one, but seriously? Are the OUAT and Fringe writers drinking together?

It's not LIKELY - I was just considering possibilities.

That would be a little creepy, what with August and Emma's date.

I'm pretty sure Regina has magical powers. It looked like burning the letter caused Abigail to crash or disappear? Or maybe it just that existing spells work (have to for curse to function) so she can trigger clauses by crushing hearts, and burning letter. But if a curse can function in our world, I suspect new spells can be cast.

Did anyone but me think August was planting an altered version of the book?

I thought Kathryn/Abigail crashed because she tried to leave town (shades of Brigadoon).

And it hadn't occurred to me that August might be changing the book - I thought he was photographing the pages and creating a new one ... maybe with the missing pages restored. That could throw a whole new twist into the plot.

Has anyone else noticed that even in the fairy tale world, they don't seem to have happy endings?

Yeah, I thought it was leaving town that made her crash.

I don't know what August is up to with the book, or in general. And I'm having trouble following what happened in the fairy tale world when - by the time Cinderella gets married Snow White and her prince (James, I guess) are married and living at the same court as Cinderella's prince? Was King George the king there? I forget. There's a lot of nonlinear plot going on, I can't keep track.

But, yeah, the fairy tale world does not seem a lot happier, in general, than Storybrooke. It depends on what you call an ending, I guess.

Art Crawl!!!

I thought that August might have been restoring the missing pages.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dang, I meant to watch Awake. It looked intriguing.

It hasn't actually aired yet, but the pilot is on Hulu.

But we don't know the mechanism by which leaving town makes bad things happen to people. Could it be that it is NOT part of the curse , but that Regina can always see when someone leaves town and makes bad things happen to them?
