Once Upon a Time: A Soft Reboot

Image
So normally I do timelines.  But I'm trying this out and seeing what people think.  Sometimes I just want to talk about a show or film and how it affects TVCU theory. Once Upon a Time wrapped up with it’s series finale last Spring, even though it wasn’t cancelled. They did something interesting.  They ended the series, with a cliffhanger for an immediate reboot of the series. So,  ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Is that enough? The new season begins with Henry now a few years older, and the usual flashbacks are focusing on what happened to Henry between the end of that last season and the start of this season. In the present, Henry is visited by a kid saying “I’m your kid.  And fairy tales are real.”  Oh, the irony.  Henry doesn’t remember this because… a curse.  Always the curse.  Okay, OUAT overdid the curse thing, but this time it makes sense to start off the soft reboot. ...

XENA

In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings... A land in turmoil cried out for a hero.  She was Xena, a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle.  The power...the passion...the danger.  Her courage will change the world. How am I going to manage this one?  Xena is demonstrated to exist in the past of the Television Crossover Universe.  But her timeline has so many crosses with historical figures that are so anachronistic that even within the looseness of TVCU stretches to timelines of historical figures, it's stretched to its limits.   Did Xena do a lot of time travelling in her journeys that wasn't clearly seen on screen?  Did she exist in some Once Upon a Time type fairy tale realm?  Let's hope things unfold as I cover this chronology. This may end up to be my least canonical post despite my best attempts to make it strictly canonical.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
