Episode 4 Trailer Discussion
**Note: There will probably be spoilers for the previous episodes**
So TTG have put their trailer on Youtube now, and it looks pretty damn good. I've just got some points to make along with some questions about it:
It definitely looks like we will be heading to the Homelands, which sounds absolutely brilliant.
Bigby will get into a fight with an unglamoured Fable in his half-wolf mode
It is heavily implied that Bigby's search for answers will put his friends (especially Colin) in danger, and it appears that Bloody Mary attacks him in his apartment (although it could easily be some sort of nightmare too).
The trailer also shows some sort of sign or seal (0:28) in the trailer, along with a look at someone from behind in a room of potions and other things. He looks like he is wearing an apron, and he could be the "Butcher" - who is in fact a potionmaker. The sign doesn't seem to look like anything specific, and if anyone wants to see they'll will need to pause the trailer. Also, it is appearing out of nothing, so it must be magical. (EDIT: According to dojo32161 the sign is one seen in a parcel from the Butcher, so there is no doubt that the sign is that of the Butcher)
At 0:31, it very briefly shows bloodied chains on the floor below what looks like a chair and table. Judging by the blood, it could be a torture chamber - possibly testing potions on them. Linking this to the mysterious creature that will fight Bigby, it could be that the creature whose hand is seen (briefly at 0:47) has escaped from that imprisonment maybe. (EDIT: The fight with the Jersey Devil thing happens in the Pawn Shop, where Jack was. It looks like it comes out of a wardrobe or closet. Could it be attacking Jack, or does he know more about this?)
Bigby says "this is bigger than I thought it was. And I didn't see it, didn't stop it". Something big is here at play, guessing it is about the portal to the Homelands, and some massive cover-up. It must link to the story, so there is something far stranger about the murders themselves.
Bigby talks to Nerissa, who warns him to look after his friends. Linking this to the end of Episode 3, she knows something important, possibly about Bloody Mary.
It briefly shows Beauty and Beast hugging, and her look makes me think that they are worried about something. Possibly something to do with the Crooked Man?
at 0:40 it shows the legs of someone walking. Does anyone have any ideas about who it could be? Of course it is probably Bigby, but it could be a subtle hint.
At points in the trailer where it shows Bigby, there is a small plaster on the right side of his neck.
THE BIG ONE! And at 1:00, it shows a door which is glowing, definitely the door to the portal. I'm interested in the wall of the door. The "lost cat" poster is there, but there is also a sign that says "Department of Gen. Services, Central Park Conservancy" and a lot of graffiti. One piece of graffiti that can be seen clearly is "JCB" with the rest being scrawly, with an empty bottle nearby and a large object on the right of the door. Is it just a rock or does anyone have any other ideas? At 0:29, it shows a more zoomed out look at the door, and a lamp and grass are seen on the left, with the actual door looking to be under a bridge. Is this an actual place in New York, and does it have particular relevance?
EDIT: Also, there has been a lot of talk on the forums about hints being dropped by TTG Staff, like random words or phrases. On the blog, @lauraperusco has posted "Downington, 1937". I'm not from America so I don't know whether this is a street name over there. Another tweet was by @telltalegames which posted "Greenwich, 1925". Any ideas about it?
So these are all things that I have taken from the trailer. Feel free to add to anything I've said or post your own ideas and thoughts. Get hyped!

It's also interesting that non-fairytales are starting to appear, possibly something to do with that portal?
hope your theory on the portal is right
if you mean the glowing door's location i thought it was under the bridge in the park tht was shown in episode one in the first couple of scenes i believe, idk i may be wrong but it did look familiar.
Nerissa could very well get herself killed by talking to Bigby..
