3. Wish You Were Here - I wish I was never here. I never want to see this pathetic, pleading Princess Emma ever in my life. The only thing good about her was her hairstyle. And overall, the episode sent a pretty messed up message. What did it want to say, that the "Savior" Emma, the strong-willed and independent woman we see, exists only because of the Evil Queen? That Regina, in some sick, messed up way, did Emma a favour by cursing her parents and the entire realm? The Wish Realm is a made up world, created by Emma's wish.

Emma said she didn't want to be the savior anymore. That's what she wished. And that's what she got. To the a Savior you need 2 things: a villain and the courage to fight it.

In the Wish World she lacks the courage needed to be the savior. It's a consequence of the wish. And's why she is so weak.

And remember, A&E said the Wish Realm IS NOT what would have happened if Regina would have failed casting the Dark Curse, it's just a made up reality. In this reality the EQ was defeated, so Emma would lack both: a villain and the courage to fight it. That way she would never be a savior.
