Got it all wrong folks.

The Serpent is James Cole

The Demon is Cassie

The Curse is James love for Cassie and all he does in service of that.

The Serpent (James) is blind, because he cannot see his actions are creating/reinforcing the loop

The Seers (primaries) know James true path, the path he would have led before becoming a time traveler, before meeting Cassie

The Sword is not a weapon in a literal sense, but a means of undoing the damage caused by James travelling back and forth.

The weapon, such as it is, can only be weilded by Cassie herself, and due to her love for James she won't use it, so they are stuck in the red forest.

The original movie is actually a love story, as was foreshadowed in One Minute More. The TV show uses a lot of misdirection, our heroes have lived too long and become unwitting villans. (Except the one villian who lived long enough and died a hero - Deacon) I mean, Cassie's fate in One Minute More is pretty tragic. Knowing you are the one who did the ting you've spent years trying to undo, is painful.
