I don't think I would classify OUaT as sad. But when it is at it's best, it really tugs on ALL of the emotional strings. Because when Regina kisses Henry to break the second curse, that is probably equally as emotional, but in a positive sense.

Overall, it's the episodes that actually slow down just a bit and allow the actors to really work on bringing the emotional impact to the show that makes this such an awesome show. Keep the action there, but allow the actors to really act. They can all bring it.
