I actually wish we had seen Tamara's backstory. Anyone who knows me knows this, but I'm always interested in the minor characters and would rather see backstory on them than the same main characters over again (Regina vs Snow, I'm looking at you, you ended up becoming my "Jack's tattoos"!)
I'm possibly one of the few fans who didn't hate Greg. Looking at it from his POV, he'd lost his father and didn't fully understand what had happened, and his story was something that wasn't going to be believed so he'd have had to have spent years with either people thinking he was crazy, or telling some fake story about what happened to his father, so really it's natural that he would have developed the hate for magic that he did. I didn't feel sympathy for Tamara, but if I'd known her story that might have changed.
Re him finding it so fast, I wonder whether over the years, if he remembered roughly where he'd been camping, whether he'd kept on going back to the area in the hope Storybrooke would reappear.
