Why keep them in this world? I'm watching a show about fairytales. I don't want to see them driving cars and talking on cell phones. I want sword fights and beautiful dresses! This show is not about fairytales, it's abaout fairytale characters trapped in our world. Destruction of Storybrook would kill this show, especially because FT Land scenes are very expensive. I don't want this show dead before its time. I have to disagree... I don't think it would kill the show, at all. I think it'll add an entirely new dynamic to have these characters... who have been stuck for 28/29 years in our world return to their own world. To have to struggle again with a lack of technology and advancement and return to their antiquated lifestyles. Not to mention the Charmings having to figure out how to rule, how to rebuild their kingdom...

What separates OuaT from other shows of it's ilk is that they -have- the flashbacks to FLT, with the gorgeous costumes and intriguing settings (although I hope and pray if they have to do FLT scenery they cut out the green screen and invest in a few real sets). Having an entire season on -just- FTL scenes would be epic and completely different from anything else on network TV right now.

And I gotta second Fluteline on the sword fights and beautiful dresses :-) You're right! Going this route would raise the ratings of the show. I hope there are more episodes in season 3 that don't contain flashbacks, although they are a staple I think some people are getting tired of them.
