The original idea, and it is still there, was good, but I also think that A&E gave too much time to some side characters, without going that much forward with their main story.

Do you REALLY think people would enjoy that much the show if they kept giving episodes to side characters? I'm talking about Leroy or Hansel and Gretel. Their episodes are still considered as some of the worst that they did, by fan. That's why I have some problems with people today. Some of them criticize 509 because it was filler and was about Merida; but these same people also forget that A&E were already doing that in S1. At least, Merida was recurring and got some importance contrary to Hansel and Gretel who were episodic.

I also think, and I still think, that Charming's definite death would be the best thing ever which could happen to Snow/MM's character development. Seriously guys, do you imagine how interesting it would be to see MM dealing with his dead but also continuing to be strong for their children? It would give a brand new focus on Snow's character, and make her more interesting than ever. But also open more doors for her upcoming storylines. Yeah, the show is about hope. But, it could be interesting to see that hope can still exist and be there after a very hard moment in our lives. I really hope they'll come back to this part of their plan. Haha, just using the common generalizations. Like some people think season 2 wasn't all that great, but i would disagree.

I think Adam and Eddy were just overly ambitious as they tend to be. They need to get to every story at every turn for all the presses! I actually think it was best of them to get that out of the way because they set it up that way and they were going to run into "When are we going to see...?"

Yeah, season 1 and even 2 had some filler and when you binge watch you can really tell. (Just binge-watched Supernatural). Merida's episode was okay, just at a terrible, terrible time.

I think what they did was Snow was wonderful because even those possibilites probably woudln't have countered the future "irrelevance" Snow sort of claimed. Even though David does little, we'd miss out on those beautiful moments between Snow and David (well, could have in season 3) and knowing how they originally had plans to replace the Snow-Emma scene in 302 with Hook, I think  Snow would have dropped into Belle like status. Actually, having the scene in 302 between Emma and Hook was the writers original plan. It was Adam and Eddy's idea to change it to a scene between Emma and Snow, which ultimately made more sense.
