don't feel like quoting so i will just give my 2 cents to everyone..

people came to SB...no one ever stayed. They got mail, Henry somehow got on a bus with a bus driver that drove OUT of SB, Emma got her belongings from non fairy tale people...and i am pretty sure people died in FTL...PC's father for ONE and he had true love with Ruth...so yean peeps died there...not to mention everyone else we say who were killed...

oh and yeah i think we were ALL affected by the dark curse...lol one of the things i love about this show...so many things that you can relate to in your own life!

Interesting thoughts! That is why I love all of our members! So many ideas I would have never have thought of! Good Stuff people!

haha i know! and i think people just assumed the clock was broken and didnt think anything of it

The kids were also in a haze from the Curse so they might not have even noticed that they were being taught the same thing every year... But then I remember being in a haze while at school and it seemed to go on forever. EGADS! I was under the Dark Curse too!

The Clock on the Tower never moved for 28 years, and I think people other than Henry noticed that it did not work though they did not see the significance of it. Remember in episode 2 Archie commenting to Regina about how it started moving?

LMAO! i would start pulling my hair out i think

But FTL, isn't it the land of Happy Ever After aka HEA? I thought those people never died. I mean, those who had a story ending. I am confortable with the notion that those people always had a particular relation to Time, being eternal. So my take on the Time freeze issue is what Rumpel says about it on episode 1. »All of our prisons will be Time, no more happy endings» So I think ( I do a lot of that :P ) they lived their daily lives stucked at 08:15, working, sleeping in a second eternal. If I was Regina I would have made sure they were fully aware of it. She wants them to suffer, no?. If they have no memories of what was lost and stucked in Time, how can they suffer? You see, for me , this doesn't make sense! Because Time did went by for our Henry!
So we know Rum created the curse, built the house so to speak and Regina furnished it. :pirat: So I think that Time in SB do go on at normal speed and that the clock set the Time for all FTL people.

I think days and seasons passed, and they were not all the same, but there were never any major changes from year to year and nobody aged or noticed that they were not aging.

I wonder if anyone died though. Henry said bad things always happened to people who tried to leave Storybrooke, and I think people had tried to leave before Henry took his trip to Boston. So either they got hurt or maybe even died. It would explain where that heart in the box came from, you need a human body to get a human heart and the only other person to die before Kathryn's fake murder was Graham and his heart was crushed and if there was a fake Dark Curse heart in Graham's chest it was probably dissected for the autopsy to confirm he had a heart attack.

Regina definitely has issues, but she got to stay young for 28 years. Granny and Geppetto did not die of old age as they would have without the Curse.

Poor Henry, making new friends every year in school only to lose them as they stayed behind as he went ahead another year, little wonder the kid had no friends.

Henry...being linked via parents?(not sure of dad yet...)

I hear ya, though, Wiley...miracle the kid kept his focus and sanity!!!

I agree the curse had to be made to keep outsiders away except maybe other ftl peeps....as for Henrys dad pretty sure its Bae(everytime I write that RAnna grinds her teeth lol)

I can't imagine why Regina would enact that curse anyway why would she want to be in a world were she has no magic and noone remembers anything and they are all in a haze what kind of fun is that. That girl has issues..

I think they had different days, but were unaware that no one was aging!
