It would be so much more meaningfull for Emma to be saved by them rather than Regina (and we wouldn't have this "thanks for killing my parents" becuase neither one of them would do that.

2. I guess I overreacted, just Neal is brought up every damn season with the "what a hero" stuff. There are 10 characters I can think of who deserve to be brought up more than Neal. ANd the wanted poster said he was born in 1977 and they were together in 2000 (for the timeline to work out it's 2000 not the 2001 timestamp) so he was 23 and Emma was 16.

3. Agreed, more with R&R than Hook as his 'evil' arc was 2 episodes long. But my problem is Regina's actions are shown as okay. In this episode for example, she straight up kills two people, robs a teenage boy of his family and abuses her friend to the point of tears and is thanked?

5. Matter of opinion really, but I love them (more Jasmine than Aladdin). I think Jasmine is adorable (maybe just because Karen David is stunning) and they have great chemistry and I admire Jasmine a lot as a character 1. If the writers do something with the dark act Regina did, then I think it was okay. Of course, even having a more favorable perspective of Regina, I think it was cringeworthy for Regina to treat Snow so carelessly given how much they've bonded over the season. Like Robin and Henry are fake and if it weren't for Henry, I'd think the writers really only think theirs one kind of love that matters.

2. I ignore the poster since it's not necessarily true. I don't know how they'll post a birth year of someone who had a fake name and dropped out of the sky. I do think he was older than her visually, but not that much. It's an iffy thing since age of consent differs in our world in different countries and especially in FTL. So, if you take that into consideration and the fact he didn't do anything wrong until the end, it's not that bad. The only bad part was dropping her like dead weight for selfish reasons.

3. Regina's problems aren't shown as okay. Just mixed, which goes back to my "Have cake and eat it too". With every villain, they want to do as much evil fun, but still claim the redemption wagon. It's more like they are downplaying it, not celebrating it. Hook had is brief moment, which they haven't ever discussed since. Rumple via the writers approached the line of abusive evilly evil, even though he clearly was abusive for a long time now. Given time, they'll all revist some questionable deeds. They also are imbalanced in writing scope. Regina kills the Count and they insist that "Darkness has spread and she'll never come back from that!" Hook kills Jekyll two episodes later, no mention of this "third way" and darkness. So, it's more of a failed moral system mixing with plot.

5. I love Karen David (rewatched Galavant) and I wish they'd give her something to do. I can't give them credit because they have had the worst episode (even the direct Disney insert was lazily done) of the season and as seen in this episode, she seems so one-tracked.
