You can include George in season 2.

I love S1 Rumple and Regina as they had a wonderful power dynamic. They were presented as two of the most powerful wielders of magic and where one had political power, the other had unseen influence. A nice game of brain vs brawn with the unlikely underdog to bring both of them down.

In the next season you had villains that were tied to both characters. Cora was a witch that was a power as they were and manipulative too. She had herself a lackey which managed to show his nasty, opportunistic side. The villains set up a plan to foil her, but at the end, it was the heroes and villains that saved the day.

Greg and Tamara were idiots that went together towards a fairly simple plan that fooled them like the fools they were.....and I guess a tragic backstory. They worked for a clever teenager named Peter Pan. (Even though I do love Robbie's portrayal of him) Pan was a man-child that used simple plans to distract his enemies and even failed in his own plan and had to formulate one of the spot despite his years of experience. He may have been resisted by the young boy, Henry, but then he easily duped Henry with something that he really could have done in the first place instead of being so threatening and he would have had the heart sooner. Shenanigans ensued and plot points remained unclear as we didn't know why this wasn;t easily solved.

Then there came the super intelligent, super powerful, and super unhinged Wacky Witch of the West. She drove a wedge in the gaps of power of Regina and Rumple making Regina looks like you basic witch (oh, the wordplay) and she top top slot as witch close in power to Rumple. She utuilized a complex plan that she unnecessarily waited for when the option was present in another couple, but she couldn't help herself. But she escaped the fate of a foiled villain..........by being foiled later, again and again, even by a trio of ordinary people she could kill in a wave of her hand. (Why do everyone choose to kill people slowly when we saw that they can instant kill people.)

Ingrid rose above the frozen, chilly wasteland of season 4, by  being.............Alternate Elsa. Have you wondered what Elsa would be like if Anna was realistically afraid and older? Well, there you have it! Then she continues on a quest that seem like she pulled a plan from Nazi Germany when she demanded a pure, perfect family of blonde, blue eyed women. I'm not the only one who thought that early on.

Then comes the three bumbling idiots of Terror. A psychopath with a need to keep killing and having while she can't., a sea creature that's bored, and the most apathetic and unscary dragon witch I have ever seen. I guess she was like most dragons in literature, a fount of knowledge and power, but let fate decide!

Isaac was an annoying, little man with a delusion of grandeur and was probably Adam or Eddy in another life. Or is it this life?

The Dark Swan....what? The main character can be a villain! We know so little of her lans because there isn't much of a plan at all, just vagueness under vagueness with ambiguity spread about. Was there a fall into darkness? No, because she fell down one of Mario's drainpipes and became the uptight, gothic schooteacher we now know. Then  there is a chance at a king who's noble quest puts him at odds with our--haha, no, he's just a wacko bent of stupid dreams due to psychological abuse by countless bullies.

Off the spin, we have a villain who has something many people face day to day. Ana or Jafar? Because both will do. One's fallen to darkness, while the other tries to escape its grasp. And then there's a creature who seeks peace, but gets denied like many in  the world today.

Anyway, MillsStilskin all the way with love, Jafar all the way with hate, and Cruella was so much fun!
