The Wolf Amongst Us
Hey! Did you remember when I was playing that Fables game and I totally killed that guy? WELP!
So on to Episode 4, in which I am apparently DYING. The doctor is stitching me up and giving me the business, the old "Hey, maybe don't get shot so much" routine. I get it, Doc! JEEZ!
After being stitched up and hearing another bullshit social policy from Snow White, you head up to Beauty and the Beast's place to find out what the hell their business is. They are in debt, because they don't know how to spend their money. I'm going to assume they bought a duck. Eventually they spill the beans about who they are in debt to and why, and give you a couple of places to visit.
I go to the Butcher's place, because I always wondered what he was up to. Turns out, crime. But it's not his fault, he was pressured into providing space to a magic user, yadda yadda. It's actually pretty boring. I don't know why I was a dick to the Butcher.
So I visit the pawn shop, in which the Huntsman is still being a goddamn asshole. He is arguing with the Jersey Devil, who is APPARENTLY a Fable? I don't know, this is an even bigger stretch than Bloody Mary. But the Jersey Devil transforms and tries to kick your ass, but fuck that guy, you beat him up, you get some info on where the Crooked Man is, everything is going according to plan?
After all the nonsense, you finally get enough information to figure out where the Crooked Man might be hiding (his base moves, you see), and you manage to break into his secret base only to encounter....TINY TIM? Okay, the rules of Fables are officially all over the goddamn place. What is Tiny Tim doing here? Why is he TWENTY? Why are you trying to guilt-trip me with this poor polio sufferer?
BUT you finally meet the Muffin Man, I mean, the Crooked Man, and being severely outnumbered, I decided to talk and...
SMASH CUT
End of Episode.
I understand they were building up to a climax but it was a real flat-tire of an episode. Sure, stuff happened, but I already knew what would happen and it ended right when shit was about to get real. Well, I guess they can't all be winners. But...it's just a part of a whole, and frankly I was kinda delighted that the Jersey Devil ended up being a character. I like the Jersey Devil!
