Hmm, I tend to think the Home Office is part of the first half story and that it will end when the first half does. Adam/Eddy said that each 1/2 season will be completely separate, with beginning, middle and ends. The Home Office part of the story will involve Belle protecting the town.
I really prefer them to concentrate on relationships and forget outside danger – we’ve dealt with that enough as is.
Ah, but then who is the big bad? We need one to move into the finale of S3 and into S4. THO is in both worlds and I do think Belle is going to have her hands fulls fighting them during part one. But I think that war will escalate in part 2 and everyone–the entire cast–will have to flee to another land (please be Oz, please be Oz). S4 will take place, mostly, in this new land and then S5 finds back in FTL to take down the Ogres and any kind of ultimate big bad.
I don’t see Oz or any other world coming into play in the 2nd half; I think they will stick to SB then since for much of the first half of S3, they won’t be there. I think they’re going to want to re-establish SB – as it will be , IMO, quite different under Belle and co – and I don’t think they want to travel to another world in the same season. They can introduce a big bad or whatever in S4 or at the end of S3, 2nd half, but frankly I don’t think it’s necessary to have a villain ALL the time. There is plenty of drama to be had in interpersonal relationships – and I really think they need to concentrate on this. I will be livid if we don’t get real Rumbelle happiness, for one – S3 is a crossroads for me in this respect – and obviously we need to see Bae/Gold (with Belle as bridge; I will be upset again if we don’t get this). Of course there are other relationships to explore as well.
I personally would like to see Belle establish new relationships with the Charmings. With her having led and protected the town, having cared for the inhabitants, the Charmings can’t just expect things to be the same when they return. They can’t just expect to take over and everyone to relinquish their duties. I can see there being some tension there as people under Belle have accomplished things – and they love her.
I think its important to see SB start to be a real town. Let Belle reopen the library and make it a community center so that the townspeople have a place to……..hang out, lol. Let it be a shelter as well so that in times of crisis, everyone can gather together and not be alone. Build a movie theater, build more restaurants, lol – I mean, it’s one thing to be a small town, but SB isn’t small – it’s tiny, lol. Build an arcade…build a bowling alley, etc… You get my drift.
Adam and Eddy said that the first and 2nd halves of S3 are like different seasons, so since each season has a beginning/middle/end, I don’t see the HO story bleeding into the 2nd half.
