Is Bo still trapped inside her Dawning ?

The caretaker told Bo that the Dawning could be vengeful because Bo wanted to take Dyson back out with her. Dyson volunteered to be Bo's Hand during the Dawning, Basically sacrafising himself for her safe return. The caretaker told Bo she could not take Dyson back with her once she was finished her Dawning. She did it anyway. SO ... could Bo still be in the Dawning ?? Is this whole Hades plot just another test ?? Has she been trapped inside the Temple this whole time ??

I don't understand this whole Hades plotline. If I was writing this, my out would be for everything that has been happening to Bo these last 2 years is happening inside the Dawning Temple. Time inside the temple is different then outside the temple. I could see the whole gang patiently waiting for her return. Only a short time would have passed for them.

Think about it ... this plotline could say that Taft, The Wanderer, Massimo, The Una Men's, Hera, Zee, and Hades were all figments of her imagination by being inside the Temple. Her test inside the Temple is to find her true self and these test were necessary for her to archive it. I have no idea if they will go this route, but I want some reason other then just bad writing for all these badly crafted storylines (other then Zee .. I liked her storyline).

I do believe that somehow, someway, even after all these deaths, that time will somehow be turned back and at the end of the show, everyone will be alive again. Even Hale.

Well, we wouldn't be able to consider the Dawning a dud anymore, that's for sure. It would have the added benefit of bringing the show back to the middle of Season 3, which is when I consider everything started to come apart. And no Rainer, we could chalk that up for a win right there and call it a day.

More seriously, I would love an ambitious attempt to explain everything, or a big twist. It would be entertaining at least, even if I don't fully agree with everything they do. I could live with the writers trying for greatness.

To render 2 and a half seasons worth of events irrelevant would be a bit much though (even if that time includes alot of events I didn't like). Unless there is some great reveal to it all, it would mean that the last 2 or so years of my viewership was pretty much a waste of time (a frustrating one at that).

It would require a lot of explanation too, such as what about all the scenes where things happened to characters when Bo wasn't there? Or flashbacks, such as Tamsin's back to Valkyrie High School? Not saying it couldn't be explained, but unless I'm forgetting something it would seem like a massive retcon, rather than something planned in advance.

Maybe I'm not giving the producers and writers enough credit, or I'm too personally cautious to accept something so great in scope, but I'm going to guess that bad writing is in fact responsible for the subpar story. Than again, what do I know? You've been on point lately with these predictions and I've been very wrong before, I hope I am again.

I'm quite certain that Bo is not still caught in her Dawning. And I don't really see that episode as a dud either. Now, the entire thing being the reason for Bo's "darker" behavior rather than Bo just exploring her powers and how she wants to really use them, especially after feeling the rush of having the others under her control... well that was a dud. But in that particular episode Bo is given the life she thinks she wants, the house, the baby on the way, an actual white picket fence. But that is not who she is anymore and she has to accept that. And I think the caretaker is exactly that, a caretaker for Bo. His job is to create an experience tailor fit for her so she can fully understand herself. That even includes putting Dyson where he does so that when the temple creates the situation where Bo is supposed to choose one of two options, she, as usual, chooses a third un-offered one, and then she takes Dyson with her, despite being told she can't and that'll to do so will have dire consequences. Because Bo will never leave a loved one behind. There was no way she was going to leave him in the temple to loose himself and become underfae, something even Dyson indicates to Bo later. (I never saw him going in as a self sacrificing move, so I'm also not one of those people that thinks Lauren knew what Dyson was doing and urged Bo to accept him as Hand so he'd die. WTF, people.)

Too much, (even though some of it was seriously stupid or could have been amazing but was executed poorly), has happened for all of it to be false, especially as pointed out above, to other characters when Bo wasn't around.

I think we're going to get a pretty straight forward finale of Bo and the gang going up against another big bad and they all pull together to save the day, but this time when it's over our girl is going to walk off into the sunset. Probably. I can't see Bo sticking around at this point. She found what she came for: her identity. Now she'll go off to live her life.

I guess the reason I'm thinking that the Dawning is still going on because ...

In the Oz episode White Witch Kenzi told Bo "she is the key" just like she was in the Dawning.

I just don't get this Hades plot. If he wanted to destroy everything then why stop Zee and Hera from doing that exact thing ??

[–] Thomas_SC 9 years ago

That's true, I had forgotten about the "key" statement. There may be some connection there.

I just don't get this Hades plot. If he wanted to destroy everything then why stop Zee and Hera from doing that exact thing ??

Beats me, maybe he's planning on ruling everything rather than destroy it? I don't know.

Yeah, we don't know what Hades wants. It doesn't seem to be complete destruction though. Zee wanted to destroy it all and start new, and that would have also ruined everything that Hades has been putting in place for centuries. He's patient, but I don't think he's keen on starting over from scratch. Also, I think it boils down to an ego thing. Zee was only the "god" of the upper-world because Hades allowed it. He only pretended to be tricked into accepting the underworld as his domain on purpose because he needed the darkness to execute his plans and so to him Zee was going to destroy a domain that didn't belong to her, but really to him.

I dunno about the key mention. It's a pretty generic thing and used in so many ways. They might tie the lessons she learned from her Dawning to Bo's final battle with Hades, but I can't see them then pulling Bo out of some dream state and have her back in the Dal with Trick, Lauren, Dyson, Kenzi, and Stella and it'll all have been a dream. It'd feel like such a cheat. To me anyway.

Someone on Twitter said the end would be Bo waking up in the shower with Bobby Ewing. I thought that was funny. I would love that ending. Of course, some young viewers might not understand the meaning behind it.

[–] NYPinTA 9 years ago

Or in bed with Bob Newhart.

Good one. I had forgot about that one. Maybe they could combine the 2.
