3×11 – Title Revealed

[darkones1fan]

Taking back the EF is a total “end of series” thing. That’s what you do in the final season and we know 3 isn’t the end. So I’m holding out hope that this new Curse takes some people to Oz (but I would like to again state my displeasure at the idea of everyone being separated)

 

I personally think taking everyone back to EF before series end is actually more interesting. Some of the shows I watched have done that (Have episode that feel like series finales but really they aren’t My little pony being one) and because of it there stories ideas have completely expanded (In theory). Although yes everyone separated again is annoying hopefully though it won’t be dragged out.

But the question is always what comes next. There has to be a logical progression in storytelling. We know we are getting a season 4 so the question is: if we take back the EF at the end of S3, then what happens *next*? Do we stay there for S4? What’s the conflict? What’s the story? If everyone is one big happy family, the ogres are gone, and our “villains” are on the path to redemption…what then? Keep leaving the EF to go take care of other places and then return home? That seems rather procedural. I’m not wholly opposed to the EF if that’s what A and E, it just gives me pause considering what’s next.

Well perhaps season 3.2 (As I call it) is a lead up to our big villain and then all of Season 4 fight with Big Villain but then again that is a re-trend so…yeah, although I do want to fight Ogers and learn about them. All I know is Henry needs to save Magic.

And if S4 is “Big Villain” with a capital B then that’s it. There is nothing after that. You save the absolute biggest for the end (Buffy fought the first, Angel fought Wolfram and Hart, DS9 finally defeat the Dominion). And I don’t it to be over, though I can’t see the show going beyond S5. Which is why I advocate/hope for:

3.2 = Oz

S4.1 = reataking the EF

S4.2 = set up for the ultimate battle with the big bad

S5 = final season, Big Bad Sneaky Blue Fairy

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"

Okay here’s my theory then Pretty much same as yours except for a few twists

 

3.2. OZ

 

S4.1 Retaking EF: Plus Rumple slightly going nuts

 

S4.2. Lead up to big bad Villain.

 

S5.  Showdown  with Chernabog on Bald Mountain! (YEAH!)

 

Ending: Thanksgiving Dinner.

I really want Chernabog to be the big villain of the series and he was the reason why Rumple’s curse was created.

Crack Theory: Chernabog and the Blue Fairy was in a relationship (maybe forbidden, if she was a fairy when she met him) and they decided to create a curse for him, so they can be together forever. But when they created the curse, something happened and it backfired on them. That could be the reason why the Blue Fairy doesn’t want anybody to be in love (Ex. Nova, Grumpy, and Regina)

I still reckon Oz is more likely to be S4. I just feel like NL AND Oz both in the same season would be overkill, but if they’re separated in different seasons, then each land gets to be a proper focus and a proper star of the show. I know we’re having a big break mid-season anyway, so 3.2 will be like a new min-season, but I dunno, it’s still technically S3.

I think re-establishing FTL would work for 3.2. That’s not just gonna be smooth sailing, and if they kick it off in 3.2, they’re setting up new potential storylines and conflicts that could be elaborated on in future seasons as well, even if the core cast pop off to a different land again for a bit to find something or save someone or defeat someone, they’ll still have FTL story to show as well.

How much fresh storyline could be generated in SB by comparison? Especially if the whole family start getting along better. They wouldn’t be able to show the same sleepy little town being run by the two evil characters who are trying to mess with everyone if those two evil characters are now not trying to rule with devious iron fists so much any more. And if there aren’t still evil characters trying to rule the town, then where’s the SB storyline gonna come from?

If they go back to FTL, how many former royals would want their own kingdoms back and what sort of new power struggles could arise? They could have Regina having to deal with no longer being the one in charge, because in their kingdom, power would most definitely swing back to Snowing, even if they don’t fully revert to the royal system. Regina would have to deal with that, and find her new role, because she wouldn’t want to go back to her former, exiled EQ role, but being back in that old familiar setting might tempt her.

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.

Definitely agree with you Phee .

You make some really good points and I can see it playing out that the rebuilding of the EF may stop and start here and there. So 3.2 = The EF and maybe Ogres?
