And "true love" doesn't always translate into purity, light, goodness and all those other clichés. The problem is that as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing special about Emma. She is a badly written character. Even worse, as far as morality goes on this show; Kitsis and Horowitz seem incapable of making up their minds on either utilizing moral ambiguity in their writing or this black-and-white nonsense only fit for children. Well, you have to remember that fairy tales are rampant with deus ex machina and black and white morality. And for the most part they were for kids.

True love being pure and everything isn't a cliche because it's based on people's beliefs. Love is always the pure thing that transcends realms, along with the power of friendship (lol).

Emma being the Savior, just means that she's suppose to be the one to defeat the Darkness. That's it. She's prophesied to save everyone. Being the Savior doesn't mean she isn't infallible. Emma herself told Regina about that there is no good and evil and dark,because it is the real world. She written perfectly fine.

But back on the topic of the Curse and TLK.
