Also, it is kind of funny that until 103 Princess Snow White never heard of Prince James of the neighbor kingdom. Guess none of those "diplomatic missions" used as excuse not to feature Leopold are heading to George's kingdom. IT's simply a worldbuilding fail because Snow White apparently knows no royalty or diplomacy and you'd think she learn something from her constant trips with her father. After they told us that the same Princess Cora who wanted her daughter to be Queen never taught her how to dance, I can't help but think that nobility, royalty, diplomacy and such are very poorly built in the show. I can't help but compare it to Game of Thrones where you have a clear idea on how the politics woek there, but none on the EF. You can't compare it to GOT because that's primarily about political intrigue.

The fair part is that the worldbuilding isn't close; The writers of Once don't need to complicate things with unnecessary political intrigue, but they should be more aware that all these stories don't live in a vacuum. All they need is a map and remember that Snow should know her neighbors who probably visted often. After all, George and Regina knew each other.
