Mal ,'War Stories'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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.
I thought that August might have been restoring the missing pages.
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?
Very true because it is hard not to believe, given the juxtaposition, that Regina burning the letter didn't have something to do with the accident.
On the other hand, the accident may be the means by which Jamie Bamber's sister meets Frederick.
Regina wouldn't have wanted to keep Emma in town, though, would she?
I had the thought that by burning the letter Regina kept Kathryn's role in Mary Margaret's story from being finished, and therefore triggered whatever keeps people from leaving. Though if Frederick is in Storybrooke, I'm more inclined to think the letter burning is more of a coincidence.

Oh, well, good, then!
