This also explains why it treats its characters the way it does. The story only continues when the character grows and it appears that redemption is the path most traveled for the show and mostly within the villains. Emma, the arbiter of justice, hardly ever delivers, while the focus on the redemption of the villains, Hook and Regina, take center stage. I haven't the slightest clue of what Rumple is doing.

How do you feel about Hook's revival and in turn Robin's annihilation? But as of what is happening for the finale or what might become of Regina, I guess redemtion does not completely work on villains all the time. I label redemption as the path traveled. All vilalins (except Rumple apparently) are on the path of redemption, whether they are moving forward or backward.
