Re-building FTL is a process we really need to see play out, I’d hate for the show to just end with them all going back and we don’t get to see what happens next, but it’s not necessarily something that would qualify as blockbuster, super non-stop action packed storyline. So to see it play out gradually over a couple of seasons, with additional plot points like adventures involving other worlds as the main story, I think could work.
Yeah. While it wouldn’t be the same dynamic as the fish out of water stuff of fairytale characters in the real world, or real world characters in the enchanted forest, it would be still be interesting. The native EF people have become accustomed to modern conveniences (like Grumpy says in s2 – ‘flushing toilets, penicillin!”) and maybe those left behind have had a political/cultural revolution while all the ruling elites were off in the real world. Who wants to be ruled by a Queen, any queen, when the last queen you had destroyed the land for personal gain? (side note: seeing a socialist revolution in the context of a fairytale would be downright hysterical. Please do that!)
but I also want to see the opposite: Neal and Henry sitting down to watch a movie, maybe Mulan, with Neal feeling that it’s all a bit trippy. Killian Jones and Tinkerbell watching Peter Pan and having a massive “WTF?!” moment at this retelling of the Pan tale.
Captain Hook in jeans and a jumper. *sniggers*
All of this is comedy potential, but not dramatic potential. It would just turn into a soap opera if it gets too realistic: oh no, where will they live – in MM’s loft with the 7 dwarves? No space! In Regina’s mansion – would they want to live with the Evil Queen?
All these practicalities are why we need to go somewhere or do something that is extraordinary. No clue what that is!
