Fables theory: Maybe Snow has the same powers as Rose and knows about Bigby's ring?
With only 3 issues left of Fables and Bigby supposedly returning to normal by/in 149, that means that Bigby must get restored either next issue or in 149. We know from 146 that Rose can see through Spratt's glamour and knows of her true form, that is presumably one of Rose's new powers from this wild magic...
But what about Snow? The only thing Snow has done since she got her armour and sword is change the sword's colour from black to white; Snow must have some new powers of her own and I don't think it would be too much for her to have this 'seeing' ability that Rose does; maybe Snow planned on dealing with Spratt herself after seeing through her glamour at the meeting, but Rose beat her to the punch somehow.
There is also this 'plan' that ppl keep referencing on this community how Snow is making a hit list of Fables to kill... That sounds ridiculous to me. Snow has ordered Cinderella to kill Frau Totenkinder, but we don't know WHY yet. Also according to this 'plan' Snow is planning on dealing with the Fables that join Rose's side/plan on killing or hurting Bigby.
I can understand Snow distancing herself entirely from those that join with Rose, but atm Snow seems to be on the fence regarding what to do about Bigby, she wants to talk to him even after he killed Beast, Ozma and Thrushbeard, but when Cole declares him an enemy, she says NOTHING! She doesn't even argue in Bigby's defence like Spratt does...
Snow obviously wants Bigby back (Volume 20 Camelot she grieves for him to return in private) but now that he is a feral monster, Snow has probably come to terms that he is gone and will hunt him down like the others, then when Bigby gets restored... (I like to imagine Bigby giving the angry 'you have no idea what I've been through/had to do!' speech to Snow and everyone else, then he just brushes off Snow afterwards when she tries to reconcile with him)
What do we think ppl???

I dream of a happily ever after
And I don't know I really think willingham is just going I save it all for 149 going into 150
Well, it's possible Snow has same powers, but we'd never know until the later chapters arrive.
I thought Snow giving Cindy the order was one-off thing. I can see maybe (not definite) Winter having a (backup) hit-list to defend her mom (Winter is no longer all that innocent girl before she became North Wind), but only if Rose strikes at Snow first.
Anyway, like Poogers said, I just hope Happily Ever After for the Wolf Family.
Winter I'm surprised with cuz she's assembling an army for Snow, but she isn't trying to help/save her 'beloved Father' as she refers him to Bigby's Brothers...
I just want Bigby back to normal already, hopefully next issue Bigby will kill both Brandish and Lancelot (I don't like either of them, Brandish for obvious reasons but Lance cuz he's so devoted to Rose and the Camelot thing...) Whether he eats them, rips them to a bloody mess or uses a freaking sword for the first time in his life I don't care! Just have Bigby do something horrific and then restore him
Although seeing as Rose has the ring, I wonder if Bigby has any kind of self-control left (In 146 we see him climbing a grassy hill, but the wind is so damn powerful and it's raining you can't see properly) Maybe that'll happen while the trial by combat is happening: It starts to get windier and the rain comes, then Bigby appears in the arena and growls "You and I have unfinished business Brandish! Kill You! Eat your bones!"
lol those words...
Brandish, I do hate, Lancelot, I feel pretty much indifferent about - It's not like I'll be angry if he does not die, but it's also not like I'll be crying a river if he does. My reaction will simply be "Meh."
You've got to remember that not only Lancelot, buy many other Fables, such as Bo Peep, Morgan Le Fay, and others, joined Rose's new Camelot, and they bear no ill will towards Snow (with Morgan, she's been trying to help Snow with the spell until it was removed in Fairest in all the Land). They just joined Rose because they have been deluded by her whole New Camelot vision.
But yes, Bigby should definitely be the one to kill Brandish. I'd be pretty bummed if Willingham doesn't give Bigby his payback rematch with Brandish (With that being said, I wonder what would happen if Bigby just eats Brandish's head? We've all seen Brandish struggle after he lost his head by Lancelot's blade, Pretty sure even a no-heart body of Brandish would be quite vulnerable when that happens).
Haven't yet read 147... Does he get his head back before the issue ends?
Bo Peep I don't want to die cuz she's a nicer character than some (also she's an assassin!) But Morgan and the 13th Floor Witches; I hate all of them because: after Ozma deduces that Bigby is being possessed, they still go with the option of killing him!
The real turn of events is when all of Fabletown, the Farm and New Camelot realise that there will be a war between the sisters and ppl will die as a result... Tbh that's when Cole will probably decide that hunting Bigby is pointless as he will just join a side, there will be no innocence left by 150!
Yes, Brandish does get his head back on (Lancelot waits for him), and says "shall we continue?" (I have a feeling Brandish will tire Lancelot out and kill him)
I liked Bo in Peter and Max's prose novel. All others I feel pretty indifferent about (no hate, but no love either).
When Cole realises that Fabletown will become involved in Snow and Rose's war, I wonder what he will do... He will either join a side or do what Flycatcher will presumably do and not fight at all, but he and everyone else will have to come to terms that Bigby will side with Snow and they can't just 'put him down' any more...
It still seems to me that Bigby will kill Lancelot as well (killing Rose's 'one true love' and her best knight will demoralise her to say the least) For some reason I imagine Snow throwing Ice to Bigby and he uses it to kill Lance, that will hold more of a statement if Snow's sword is the killing weapon and Bigby is the hand that holds it!
Also, is the fight an even one, does it look like Brandish will win throughout and Lance gets lucky by taking his head off, or does Lance own Brandish throughout?
Brandish was being pretty cocky, and I think that's how he lost his head......(he lost his head only after few thrusts so.....)
As for who owns who.....it's far too early in the fight to tell.
Oh... I assumed they would show a lot of the fight... Well then there is plenty of time for the heavy rain and the gale force winds to come that signal feral Bigby's much-expected arrival!
