Tamara and Greg’s Mission

[kfchimera]

I read an interview with A&E in Entertainment Weekly where they were in DIsneyland being interviewed and made some comment about how all the different stories bump into each other there, and I think they did mention Tomorrow land. I wish I could find the article again but I recycled it long ago already and my quick attempt to google an online version didn’t net me anything. I think they also said something about Hook being misunderstood in the article, while on the Peter Pan ride.

Anyway–if they are indeed taking some inspiration from the parks themselves, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they’d link it to EPCOT!

If there ends up being any merit to this idea I demand high-fives from everyone.

I think Tamara and Greg will only be in about 2 episodes at least, I think Tamara gets killed and admits to Emma that she was sorry for what she did. Greg, will tried to kill Regina but this time Regina wins.

I do wish Tamara would stop dropping words like “unholy” and other sort of… religiously leaning bits into her explanation. The organization/mission is already sort of weak and undeveloped and that sort of dialogue just sort of makes me (and I imagine many viewers) sort of roll their eyes because it seems like a cop out. If you’re going to play the “religious backing” card, you need to support it with a back story. Otherwise it just seems like a throwaway.

this!

I don’t have a problem with giving them a religious fanatics touch, but it needs a story.

Because magic is involved, pretty much one of the first thoughts is witch hunt, but don’t get me started about common misconception of witch hunt and particular the role of church in it, the mix-up of church hunting heretics and what is called inquisition with secular witch hunt driven by intolerance and superstition, it had little to do with religious fanaticism. Nope, church were not the worst witch hunters. People were sentenced to death by burning by secular courts, church had no jurisdiction in this (most people don’t seem to know). And they were sentenced, not killed by crazy crowds.

The choice of words is distinct, especially Tamara I see by now as a nutjob of some religious kind. I couldn’t care less about her back story but for this detail, that the Home Office seems to have a religious streak while using science to eradicate magic. The name choice Greg Mendell makes one think of Gregor Mendel, and, well, Gregor Mendel was so no nutjob, but an Augustinian friar with open mind and scientific thinking, and to me this name association looks by now like a bad joke. Have the feeling they drop one clanger after the other not thinking things through.

Sorry for being ranty here. Have the impression this Home Office thing was cobbled together, rushed to give the Neverland arc a start this season.
