I love this show, but Regina and Rumpel are the reasons for my love. Hell, I'm beginning to fall for Cora and Hook. These characters are more interesting than the leading "good guys" . . . namely the Charmings. I'm getting tired of Henry as a plot device and his "good always win" proclamations. I'm tired of Emma being the symbol of "True Love". I'm getting tired of "True Love" being portrayed as something one-dimensionally good. For me, love - even true love - can have both a positive or negative effect on individuals. I think George Lucas pointed this out well in his STAR WARS saga. Aside from Regina and Rumpel, the writers of OUAT refuse to explore this issue with the Charmings. Instead, everything is all sweet and squeaky clean with these people. I'm tired of them. I really wish the series would explore the true dark sides of characters like the Charmings, without them going bad due to some damn spell, like Snow White in Season 1.
Also, the Emma/Hook sword fight was a joke. There is no way Emma should have held out in a fight against Hook like she did. He should have made mincemeat out of her within seconds. This was just as illogical as Snow White besting a trained warrior like Mulan in a fight in the last episode. What are the Charming women going to do next . . . walk on water?
