For some reason I have this idea that while David was trying to remember who he was, he would be intrigued by Emma, and having this feeling like she seemed familar to him, though he wouldn't know why. He'd kiss her, missinterpreting that feeling, and then there would be this awkward convorsation after the curse broke when he's remember he did that.

Maybe I'm just weird.

As far as LGBT characters, as long as they aren't just a "look we included you" token character, I'm cool with it. Shadow, that is exactly what this is this. This is the "Look we have a gay now on the show". Adam had the nerve to say in an interview that he wants to reflect the world we live in. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, excuse me, but that couldn't have happen in 2011?????? OUAT is on ABC, the same network that had Viola Davis to win a Golden Globe playing a bisexual, middle aged, black woman. Them doing this big announcement shouldn't be this big of a deal, especially when we all now OUAT is at the tail end of its run, and now they want to do it??? That is why "that" story will be disjointed from the main overall storyline of Dark Swan. Feels a little too late with secondary characters we haven't seen in over 2 seasons that will get 5 minutes of development. Thank you for the scraps. However, I'm not going to begrudge anyone who is excited with this announcement. Exactly, it's just like "hey, look! We made Rapunzel black!! We're not racist!!!". And we have the groundbreaking privilege of having 3 semi-important black characters in the same season: Lancelot, Merlin, and now Sidney. Guinevere is Portuguese. But let's see how many survive this season. Don't be fool, there were reports of an ABC executive in Vancouver looking over the set with the episode that will introduce Red/Mulan. They were making sure that A&E not screw it up because the media has called out OUAT on its lack LGBT, POC representation.

And we really can't blame those glaring issues when we have Shondaland on ABC which have a plenty of gay characters and it is not treated as an anomaly. And I don't think we can blame it on the Disney factor since they have been gay friendly but I can be wrong on that front.

I believe this is all on Adam and Eddy and how they run things. Saying that this show is "family friendly" is a dishonest cop out when we have seen adultery vault sex, murder, rape, inappropriate sex jokes, and some of those things weren't considered bad or were even framed romantic by certain fandoms.
