Disappointed about the role of Brannigan

edited February 2014 in The Wolf Among Us

I thought that a big focus of episode 3 would be that she is tailing bigby trying to figure out what he's doing.

I think a mundy detective being wrapped up in all this could have been a fascinating route to take.

However, after they changed the picture for episode 3, it seems that she will have a reduced role, and she doesn't even appear in the teaser.

  • Hopefully she will appear more as I've seen a couple of people mention the notes she took, so that could lead her back into the story. She seems like an interesting character, so I do hope that isn't the last we see of her.

  • I doubt that her notes have anything that would lead her back to the Woodlands.

  • They also have the CCTV footage of the interview so they could easily know they were talking to bigby about the murder and find him again

  • They could use the obsessive Cop thing. Everyone in that station would want to know why they were all asleep, why they can't remember anything, Brannigan becomes obsessed with the notes she took. Or they could've sent Officers to the crime scene again (Thus no memory wipe for them as they were outside) or to tail Bigby or Beast

  • Except Crane took that. It's not that hard to take a VHS tape.

  • Fair enough, I suppose it depends on what she wrote down. Maybe she wrote down Bigby's name and wants to find out why she can't remember questioning him.

  • Bring back Brannigan! (say that 3x fast)

  • I'm pretty sure they could not get rid of all the evidence, there was some civilian who found the head and called the police, not all officers where probably at the station. If I would wake up in an interigation room with bleeding nose and no memories of past 24h I would try to find out too.

  • Except if he was at the scene they would have erased his or her memory. The Fables are experts at this, they've been hiding from the mundies for centuries.

  • Yeah I really hope they didn't cut that storyline, but I kind of feel like that was the reason for the delay and the remake of Episode 2... ::/

    Meh. Fables is supposed to be about just that. Fables. The mundies rarely get involved. There was one arc in the comics that had a mundy reporter snooping around Fabletown, which I think covered how the fables deal with nosy mundies pretty thoroughly. I don't feel like there's any particularly compelling need to tread down that road again unless it's going to add something fairly significant.

  • Bigby is kind of a cop and another cop going after him while he investigates a crime is awesome and intriguing. And his self reflections about cops pretending to care during the Brannigan scene where great.

  • That i can see happening.

  • Actually, they could get rid of all the evidence. This is what the Fables do to keep the mundis from finding out about them. Like Snow said, the witches know what they are doing with these spells.

  • Except it would not add to the overall mystery. That and bad things happens to Mundis that get too curious.

  • Would the spell erase all the videotapes, notes, peoples memories who where not a t the station? And if you say Crane did it, well its proven hes not all that smart and makes mistakes.

  • Bad things happening is what made TWD great so TWAU should be like that too. It was the original plan for ep3 and might still be depending on why the episode title image changed.

  • That's my point

  • I mean like if they'd sent Cops out already but before they arrive, or even Cops who'd gone back home before Crane arrived

  • It's magic, so yes. And Crane got the spells from the Witches upstairs and again, they do not mess around. You are really underestimating the Fables when it comes to keeping themselves hidden. Again, they have been doing this for centuries.

  • At this point it seem clear that it might not be, explaining the changes and the delay.

  • Yes, the wrongly-accused detective evading the police while he continues working to find the real killer could be an interesting story. It's also a story that's been done a million times before. I'd rather a Fables story focus on the kinds of things that I'll only see in the Fables universe. Otherwise, what's the point of using the license? They could have just created their own generic murder mystery.

  • I'd very much like to see Brannigan come back too.

  • In those stories where it's been done before, has there been the risk of the entire community being exposed and torn down when the detective is accused?

  • Unlike those stories you reference, regular cops in TWAU don't know that Bigby is a cop, if anything they suspect hes a bit delusional or some kind of a criminal. Name a single story where that is done.

  • Yeah,i would like to see some mundies in this story!

  • Such a tricky set of words! D:

  • Unfortunately, I think you might be right. Anyone else find it interesting that the Episode 3 Cover was changed? If I remember correctly, the scene depicted on the original cover was Brannigan tailing Bigby outside of the Woodland Apartments.

  • Although Crane get rid of some evidence i think he couldn't get rid of all of them.For some reasons Bannigan will tail Bigby and fail to find him.

  • I think it will be a good twist if detective braniggan is murdered with her head cut off from her body

  • Exact words out of my mouth too, dang tongues. :)

  • I don't really care what Brannigan does. She will end up dead in no time if she gets to close to finding out about the Fables. Especially if Bluebeard is temporarily running things.

  • Fables cant have Mundys knowing anything about them. I didnt really give her a second thought except that the interrogation scene was cool.

  • edited February 2014

    What? This is not the same. Not even close. The story would be really fucking cool if a mundie got involved. Think about the interactions with that character. And the whole mystery of the community in the perspective of a mundie. If you don't look forward to that, then to bad for you.

  • u know what would be interesting if the magic didn't wipe her memory and she was trying to figure out what the hell is going on and she witnesses Bigby changing into his true form. Just something they might put as another problem in the story. Thumbs down if u think this idea sucks lol I try.

  • Well, someone from the comic tried that and it didnt end so well for them. The Fables are very committed to protecting their secret.
