OUAT has been about True Love from the very beginning. It's also a show of parallels. We've got four couples. Snow and Charming. Emma and Hook. Regina and Robin. Rumble and Belle.

Charming says "True Love isn't easy but it must be fought for."

Snow and Charming. Have TL and a baby to seal the deal. But they had to fight to get there. They met on a journey. They denied their feelings at first. They fought a villain. They found TL. Think they're good to go.

Emma and Hook. Just found each other. But they had to fight to get there. They met on a journey. They denied their feelings at first. They fought a villain (or two.) They found TL. However, TL must be fought for. They are going to have to face the consequences of their actions with Marian. From Regina. From Elsa. From everyone in SB. They are going to have to fight. We'll see this 4A.

Regina and Robin. Just found each other. But they had to fight to get there. They met on a journey. They denied their feelings at first. They fought a villain. They found TL. But, TL must be fought for. So, are A&E going to take the easy way out and "freeze" Marian the instant she walks into town like so many are calling for? Or are they going to let Regina and Robin fight together to stay together? I'm hoping for the latter. We'll see in 4A.

Rumble and Belle. I call bullshit on this one. I know there are some Rumbelle shippers out there (well, I guess that ship has sailed) but there are no real parallels here and there is NO way this is TL. Rumble chose his desire for revenge over his love for Belle. And Belle is so delusional, she can't see Rumble for who he really is. Far from TL, this is a dysfunctional relationship that's going to end badly. We'll see in 4A.

Feel free to discuss.
