Bigby theory (spoilers)
maybe the disappearances of Snow, Faith, and anyone else that ends up "dead," get pinned on Bigby when accused by "The boy who cried wolf." The accusation ends up making the town's people to believe that Bigby is the murderer, when they aren't actually dead. Bigby could then be cleared of the murders in episode 4, (Wolf in sheep's clothing.) This may enrage Bigby, into committing murders himself, and when he is caught by one of the fables, (maybe the boy who cried wolf again?) nobody believes him due to the previous accusation. (episode 5: Cry Wolf) The picture of episode 5 shows Bigby in wolf form with blood on his claws.

That is a cool theory, it would make for an interesting twist on the upcoming episodes.
I wondered myself why no one had accused Bigby yet since he was one of the last people to see either of them alive, it really doesn't look good for him.
Plus he's likely in a nasty rage after the ending of episode 1 for obvious reasons, a killing spree wouldn't be too unlikely.
I don't think it would be that great, the idea of the investigator ending up being a suspect has been way overdone.
I think that it's a great theory because in episode 1,I think that if you choose certain options that make the others hate you (Mr.Toad,Colin and others)they will remember it.And that could mean that in the future episodes, the fables that you have offended won't help you and won't be on your side if you are accused of the murders.
It was just a thought that I had, that happened to fit with the titles and pictures of the episodes, before i had even looked at them closely. I forgot to add before, that episode 3 "The crooked mile" would also fit with this theory. If Bigby is accused in episode 3 by the ginger with crooks on his tie, (believed to be the boy who cried wolf) the title could make sense. This is now my leading theory, as i have yet to find any holes in it. Unless anyone can disprove this theory, I will continue to search for even more evidence to strengthen this case in this thread.
Nothing in it to contradict the comics, one thing that explains a line in the comics. Bigby would know Snow is alive and base his arguments on Snow being alive. All it takes is one cigarette and Snow is found because then Bigby can only smell Snow White.
Bigby wont be committing random murders at any point in this series. That would too heavily contradict Fables which I suggest some of you start reading.
Thank you for catching my plan to make them read the comics, I wanted to see their reactions. Bigby's true nature would make him howl and if it is Snow's head bleed from the throat till he changes form. Hence I promise to say what I plan immediately.
The ending of this theory does not make sense. You mentioned Bigby's claws having blood. Remember that Bigby is sheriff, also Bigby's interrogation methods are very harsh. If someone admitted to at least harming Snow, there is no trial and Bigby takes justice into his own hands or claws for that matter. Crooked mile that Bluebeard walks even though he denies it. Also the consequences are already seen, and they are no one will answer your questions truthfully for a long time (my calmness has to prevail somewhere).
i agree with parts of your theory but i doubt that bigsby would go on a killing spree
One more mistake. The form we see a preview of is Bigby's wolfman form not his wolf form. His wolf form would be a hight of a 2 story building and the length would be at least 30 ft.
so he would never kill? even under the influence of a spell? what about all the people he killed before? YOUR arguments are full of holes friend. And besides, it's only a theory. If you played the game you would've noticed Bigby doesn't always grow into the size of a building when he wolfs out, so I hope you were joking there, or you are very ignorant.
I think the first part of your theory seems likely. It would explain the Boy who Cried Wolf being everywhere, when it's fairly obvious he's not going to be the "murderer". It also coincides with the foreshadowing of the Ten of Swords tarot card. I doubt a murder spree on Bigby's part though, probably more of a necessary spurt of violence to clear his name/regain his freedom. The actual "murderer" seems to be trying to get someone thrown in the Witching Well, be it Bigby, Bluebeard, or Crane.
EDIT: Accidentally posted this twice, and can't seem to figure out how to delete one of them.

You really have no right to be calling anyone ignorant when you are spewing theories this ridiculous.
"OH HEY GUYS! What if Bigby becomes so annoyed that he is accused of being a serial killer...that he actually becomes a serial killer!"
lmao...talk about arguments being full of holes.
I am not joking. You said wolf form not werewolf form. There is only one wolf form. He wants to protect everyone, and he was hungry for revenge on his father, and swore to eat bigger meals everyday till he meets his father to eat him. After the invasion of the kingdoms Bigby swore to spare everyone being chased after biting them, and eat the invaders. Just read the comics, because so far I have a feeling that Bigby will start howling sadly and maybe even painfully depending on Snow's condition. Bigby feels everything Snow does and the same thing happens to him as Snow. Bigby's only method of healing will be to change form at least past the human skin form, and fast if it's Snow's head. I agree that Bigby would get blamed for murder, but hardly anything else.
I never said Bigby would turn into a seriel killer or go on a murder spree. I don't know wher you guys got that from. And RELAX and stop taking things so damnseriously and literally. So I said wolf instead or werewolf, big freakin deal lol. It's JUST A THEORY. If one of my theories offends you that much then you really need to get a life, these are fictional characters.
One part of the theory is strongly believable. One we'll find out soon and is believable to a certain point. One part does not make sense. And you already said that if anything contradicts to tell you what does contradict. There is a visible difference in the game between wolf and werewolf already. There are things to support the theory of Bigby getting blamed for something he didn't do. There is a stronger explanation for Bigby's claws being bloody that make more sense than killing spree. That's all.
again I will repeat myself by saying that I never said anything about Bigby going on a killing spree or being a seriel killer. And i said if it could be disproved let me know, as in if there was something in the game that clearly makes this theory as a whole incorrect. Just because something happens in the comics doesn't necessarily mean the game is identical. It's canon to the comics but for all we know things may be a little different because we were told the game is considered a prequel, so this is before "the ways of the comics" existed.
Either you forgot this statement or something
This part was easy to disprove. In the game and comics. The game is a prequel and canon as you said as well. The simple fact that the game is canon means nothing in the game will alter the comics. However that would alter the comics. Also Colin's words in the game so far and yours disprove it. Mended his ways sounds more like not doing things he did before coming to Fabletown. In the beginning of the comics everyone trusts Bigby that he won't be like he was in the distant past. The first comic is 10-20 years after the game's timeline. Bigby killing the killer/s would explain the end of the game and the bloody claws.
Bigby's senses never change. Bigby is in love with Snow White (who knows that will help Bigby). You are forgetting the comic novel 1001 Nights of Snowfall which is a prequel to the game and the comics. Some comic issues aren't a prequel to the game. Fairest #7 is a prequel to the game, Fables #96-97 are also a prequel to the game. Jack of Fables 1886 arc is a prequel to the game as well.
exactly. so where do you see "serial killer" or "killing spree?" I said murders. I meant he kills the murderer(s), which obviously means you either don't understand my original post, or just assumed I was exaggerating.
That only means more people didn't get the original post. Key to everything is being specific not blatant. 4 people thought killing spree. Did I have to sniff out the whole story. Changing what I quoted to the whole story and removing the getting caught part and everything after till the mention of episode 5 and people will start agreeing, and I'll change my opinion on your theory.
what? I don't understand what your saying starting when you said something about sniffing out the story.
And no, one person said killing spree and claimed I said it, which in turn made people believe i said it. Not to mention it's only a theory, so it's not meant to be taken so literally, it's meant to be taken with a grain of salt. But anyway I really don't care if you disagree with my theory, it will most likely change the day episode 2 comes out anyway, unless I happen to be right.
The very first comment? You didn't explain it then. I agree with the first half, but after explaining the second half I agree with it. I even mentioned a legitimate reason Bigby would kill the "killer", Bigby loves Snow, and if anyone were to at least harm her or think of it, Bigby won't think about a trial. It's proven in the game and comic that Bigby would protect Snow no matter what. Getting accused would only irritate Bigby, definitely won't make him want to take justice into his own claws, but take the real "killer/s" to trial.
EDIT: I also forgot that by one post you made everyone think Bigby would go on a killing spree. Remember this post
If someone wanted to tell everyone that Bigby would kill the "killer/s" they wouldn't talk about spells, but Snow White which would be proven unlimited times. Bigby changed his ways which is mentioned in episode 1 and will probably be seen fully in episode 4.
I had to edit my last post. Adding more truth behind my comments.
Even in his 'bad old days', his MO was to eat people, not leave neatly severed heads lying around. Surgical removal, no obvious wounds other than the decapitation so not likely a crime of passion... at least not the Bigby-style splatterfest that might ensue. Even the dullest fable wouldn't seriously consider that Bigby might have done the murders.
This isn't too unlikely, and is further supported by the choice of either giving Faith money, or not. Perhaps giving her money makes you look suspicious later on.
