Magic banished from our world?

[wizard55]

Feel free shoot this theory down, seeing as it’s mostly off the top of my head but I was thinking about who works for GOAT and The Home Office and Tamara saying how “magic is unholy…..and maybe they work for an organization that goes back centuries and has more or less got rid all magic from our land. It could explain why we have legends and folklore of fairies, elves, witches, etc but these days it’s more or less considered fiction.

I do not have much else to go on with this theory right now but it struck me as a neat concept to thing about….how our land used to be more or less a version of the EF but it was decided to banish magic or rid it. Maybe they get alerts when magic is in our world and send out teams or people to investigate.

…or it could just be a branch of The Dharma Intitiave 😛 Which I honestly would LOVE! 🙂

Here is my current favorite theory (that is slightly crackpot/slightly serious)

Give the title of the two episodes and what we know from promos (warning: don’t read the black if you really don’t want to be spoiled): that Bae went to London after he fell through the bean hole where he met Wendy Darling and somehow they were all taken by Pan's shadow to Neverland here is what I think:
–The Home Office was founded by the Darling family after their children and street urchin Bae went missing from their London home some 100+ years ago. While George Darling may have known what Neverland was, his experience with it was not positive and Adam and Eddy have said that their Neverland is NOT going to be the super whimsical and fun one we think of.
–The sole purpose of The Home Office was to locate and retrieve the Darling children. At this, they failed and eventually George and Mary Darling died and passed off their enterprise to other people. Over time these new CEO’s, as it were, were less interested in finding the Darling children as they were about destroying all magic. They began recruitting those people who had some sort of negative interaction with magic at some point in their lives. The mission became less “find the Darling children” and more “eradicate magic.”
–Enter Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Her experience in Oz was horrifying and she was recruited some 30 years ago to The Home Office
–Shortly after she was brought in, she discovered a small boy name Owen who was telling tall tales about a magical town and a mayor who had some sort of ability. She brought him into the fold. Years later, she tracked down a bitter girl named Tamara who was angered over the death of her mother Marian due to some Dark Curse that had affected her ever since she and her husband Robin lived in FTL. Tamara was brought into the fold where she met Owen.
–Dorothy, now the head of the Home Office gave them their mission: track down Owen’s father Kurt and destroy the town and people of SB.
–The rest we know. Whether or not GOAT follow through on this mission remains to be seen.

I was reading the other thread in 2×21’s spoiler section and agree this is an awesome theory. I’m all go it it turns out to be this way. 🙂

This Home Office theory reminds me a lot of The Intiative from Season 4 of Buffy: The Vampire, which was not my favorite season for several reasons. It was a weak storyline and Riley was a dud (I was not sad to see him leave later the next season..

But the purpose of Buffy's The Initiative (at first anyway) was to capture demons, make them impudent so they could not kill humans and release the non-threatening ones back into the public. Eventually, it was found out later the group's lead scientist was making a monster/human hybrid to create the ultimate super soldier who ended up killing her and becoming fascinated with human anatomy and why things the way they are. Like I said, season 4 was my least favorite season..

but I can see Home Office kind of working the same way, minus the demons. They could be trying to harness magic for their own dirty motives, instead of destroying it.

Yeah, if you’ve been peeking in that section you’ll see we’ve been having way too much fun with all the crackpot speculation over this (and everything else about the season finale). 😆 I believe someone, sorry I don’t recall who, actually said something similar to your first post in this thread, where maybe we did once have magic here, but it’s been eradicated over time by whoever GOAT are working with now. I’ve wondered if maybe whatever organisation they’re a part of could potentially even have connections reaching as far back as writers like the Grimms. All the wild ideas we’ve been tossing around has got me really excited to see what they actually end up doing with it!

I agree that Dorothy could be part of the home office. There’s beeen a lot of Oz references this season, since Neverland is going to be the new world we see, it would seem a bit odd to reference Oz when we may not see it for another season.

All magic comes with a price!
