AngieBelle, I honestly don’t get the big drama about the taser either. Maybe it’s because I saw mention of it before I watched the ep, so I knew to expect it. But honestly, all I saw was someone devious using a specific type of weapon to kill magical beings. I didn’t see some naive mortal zapping magical beings with a regular taser in the hope it may disable them. It didn’t bother me at all.

Daniel, Jenny and Jeremy talked about this in the initial reactions but tasers do not kill you. They stun you. That’s it. So August dying from that even in a wooden state, didn’t really make much sense.

One of the frustrating parts of this episode was the non logic behind Tamara’s taser. Tasers don’t kill people normally, nor can wood conduct electricity.

That was also ridiculous. About Tamara’s taser

Obisgirl, I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean that it’s ridiculous to say that tasers can be deadly? They’re not meant to be, and I wasn’t claiming that they’ll have deadly results in all cases, but it does happen that way sometimes.

I don’t dispute that that tasers can be deadly, but wood is DEFINITELY not conducive to electricity.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me.

I think it’s Tamara’s confidence in her weapon that seems odd to me. I could accept, with a little handwaving from the writers, that August still had an electochemical nervous system or some vulnerability like that, but Tamara didn’t seem to have even the least bit of doubt going up against the wooden robot or the smoke monster. I think she has to be from another realm or at least be getting advice from someone who knows magic thorougly.

Question: When August put his knife in his leg to prove that it was wood why didn’t he do that with Emma to convince her?

I suposse he didn’t because it didn’t work the first time. Even without bleeding, the doctor didn’t believe him. Why should Emma?

I think the main problem with this magical taser is that it doesn’t look magical. It looks like a regular, ordinary taser that releases normal electricity. If it looked different or magical, then it would be (I think) a bit easier to except and be a bit intrigued by it.

I agree!!!! ❗

Maybe Tamara has managed to use a little bit of magic to disguise her weapon as a taser so that it isn’t a taser at all but just looks like one.

All magic comes with a price!
