Posted this is a different thread, but then I realized it probably deseves its own:

I think I figured out what NEF really is. In the Enchanted Forest, bad things happen, but everything works out in the end, like a fairy tale. Henry talks about that in 708, how his grandparents always find each other. Cinderella calls him naive, and says all places aren't like that. And we see all the turmoil that happens in NEF: Cinderella's broken homelife, with her mother and stepfather being seperated, and then her time with Tremaine; Rapunzel/Lady Tremaine and Gothel have some sort of long stading feud, where neither one appears to be winning; Tremaine's beloved daughter dies, leaving her with her less liked daughter; WHook and Alice wind up cursed and seperated; Tiana and her mother going to lose her home; Everyone else is under the rule of a corrupt king, who has had two of his adult children murdered, before either can produce an heir; etc. This isn't the Enchanted Forest, even though these are all fairy tale characters, this is the Disenchanted Forest, a realm where all the stories go terribly wrong, and it is happily never after. So what do you think, am I on to something?
