So what did Mr. Gold mean when he told Regina, ” We all know what happens when anyone tries to leave Storybrooke?”
I am wondering if SB is a little like Brigadoon, a musical also filmed as a movie, about a Scottish village that only appears for one day every 100 years, and if anyone were to leave Brigadoon, the town would disappear.
We know that if anyone tries to leave SB bad things happen… not always to that person. In Ruby’s case it was Granny who had a heart attack.
And at this point I am not sure that Emma can leave. When she tried the wolf appeared in the road and stopped her.
Yet, Regina was excited to know MM would be banished from SB as a result of Kathryn’s disappearance and the evidence mounting, and she and Gold obviously know that bad things happen, perhaps they know more; but I admit I was startled at Regina’s obvious relishing of the thought of perhaps all the bad things that would happen to MM and perhaps Charming or other people she belongs with, if and when MM were to be taken out of SB. She was pleased to be inflicting pain and also separating MM from the people she loved and belonged with…. and I thought it interesting that her idea of justice was not a trial that put MM in jail for life or put her on death row, but it was the fact that MM would be taken from SB as it were and then all the bad things that would happen as a result. Anyone else notice that?
NO MORE HAPPY ENDINGS
[adrotate group="5"]If no one can leave Storybrooke safetly, how did Gold procure Henry for Regina? Who brought Henry to Regina? Is Gold able to leave SB?
Is there a thread for this somewhere on the forum already? If so, where?
Well they can obviously call outside SB, and with his money …
Maybe if you know the truth you can go outside because Regina and the curse no longer have a hold on you, so to speak.
I doubt that Regina expected Mary to “leave” exactly, I think she’s just expecting that because she can’t leave, she’ll die in the process of trying. I know we’ve seen other people try to leave and they’ve just been stopped short, they haven’t actually died, but Snow was the main focus of this curse, so I’d believe that an attempt for her to leave would in fact result in death.
There is something I’ve wondered about though, and I dunno if it’s something we’re really supposed to wonder about, or if we’re just supposed to accept that “it just is”, but somehow, someway, someone must be able to come and go from town, otherwise how are the shops kept stocked? Where does all the food come from? And the other groceries? Eg: It’s not like Storybrooke has its own toothpaste factory to keep up the supply, right? Where does the stock in the clothing shops come from? Where do the comic books we’ve seen for sale come from? Even if it’s all mail ordered, how do the packages get there? If no one from outside can enter town, then the delivery guy can’t exactly just drive into town.
So either we’re not meant to think about that too much and just accept that it happens somehow, or someone is actually able to leave town to go pick it all up and bring it back in. But they’ve made such a point of saying that no one can leave, that I’m thinking it might be the former.
Obviously they can contact the outside world though. They have the internet, and can make phonecalls. Even if Mr Gold can’t physically leave town, he was able to make some calls and pull some strings to get Henry sent there. That’s where my theory came from that perhaps August has been Mr Gold’s “man on the outside” so to speak, because he could have set that stuff up. Might have to abandon that theory though because the promo for the next ep doesn’t exactly make it look like August and Mr Gold are BFFs who have worked together for years.
Not really adding any real point to the discussion, but in Red-Handed it was made clear that there are no buses out of town. Emma says so to Ruby in that scene after Dr. Whale talked to latter. It’s just to reinforce the idea that there’s NO way out, but I found interesting how Emma did NOT find it strange.
Yeah, you’d think she’d have found it odd, and wondered exactly how Henry managed to catch a bus to Boston if no buses leave Storybrooke. I guess he just rode his bike out past the city limits, to whatever town the bus stop was in.
I have to admit, as well, as I said before, I am interested to see if Emma can leave, and what might happen if she does. I’m wondering if now that she is there and involved in the “story” with the other characters, is she stuck there? Would something happen to Henry if she were to try to leave? That might be an interesting twist.
Hum, interesting points. Emma was the first stranger to StoryBrooke. Henry tells her no one comes here and no one can leave. Then we see August arrive confusing Henry and angering Ragina.
As for the supplies either they get dropped off right past the sign “Welcome to StoryBrooke” or they are magically restocked and no one thinks twice about it because it had been that way 28 years, or Rumple has the ability to leave. After all, he only needs to say please.
I did find it odd that if there were no busses out if town, why was there a bus stop? I could understand there not being any busses that late at night leaving town.
Also we don’t know what time Henry got on the bus to Boston. There could have been busses out of StoryBrooke earlier in the day. Also it is possable that busses pass through StoryBrooke but don’t normally stop.As for Mary Margret being taken out of StoryBrooke it is hard to know what would happen. Ragina did say she would never have to see MM face ever again so that may imply death as someone posted above. Anytime someone else tries to leave they wind up back in StoryBrooke so what would make Mary Margret’s leving any different?
