The Land Without Magic is Not OUR Land

I wouldn’t shut down Watcher’s theory.  Certainly is plausible.  That sneak peak of Robin & family arriving in NY could certainly lend credence to the theory.  There has to be a reason why some portions of it kept flashing from colour to black & white.  Was it an editing error; was it a clue that Marian was Zelena as the movie WofOz went from black & white to colour as soon as Dorothy arrived; or, are they trying to tell us that NY & TLWM isn’t all that it seems to be?

Highly recommend watching it again.  It was subtle but Gypsy  caught it.  I posted about it, here within this group, under the sneak peek spoiler thread for S4x17 along with a screen shot of Robin’s hand being all white.

I’m technically challenged so I’ll just provide the original link to the thread and the screenshot attachment below.  Watch the video again, several times throughout it, people in the background and Robin’s hands go to black & white.  Almost feels like parallel worlds/realms are colliding.

In this land it could be a crapsack world where no one gets their happy ending. Just a theory. I think the real world is crap but happy endings are possible….in the land without magic, they may not be.

There’s something to this, actually. Not that I think this is a different world from ours, but maybe what we think when we invoke “happy endings” isn’t at all what it’s in fact supposed to be for the fairytale characters. In fact, if their realms are stuck in time, then no wonder there can be no “happy endings” in our world: things keep morphing and changing. On the other hand, the idea of a happily ever after as a static, never changing state seems pretty disturbing — but who knows, if they’re fairy tale characters, maybe that’s what they’re in fact after. And the reason they can’t get there (or be satisfied with the happy endings they DO get) is because they’re now living in linear time, which they are profoundly unprepared for? (This would echo the whole time=4th dimension in Lost.)

On the other hand, Regina’s original curse actually stopped time in SB, which is how I think that whole happy endings being stolen thing came about. So it looks like time is going to be an important theme (as it was on Lost), I just suspect it’ll take some pretty dramatic retconning.
