If you're going to disagree with me, you might want to have your facts straight.

You ARE correct that the past two seasons have consisted of two largely self-contained and narrowly focused stories, but you're also patently and demonstrably wrong when it comes to there being no connective tissue between said stories.

It's honestly beginning to seem as if people want Once Upon a Time to just be a 'turn-off-your-brain' show that you don't have to put any deeper thought into when it comes to following what's going on, but that is not what the show is and would, if I might be frank, not be worth watching if it were.

Once Upon a Time is as interesting as it is because you have to actually be paying intimate attention to the stories being told in order to understand how what we are being shown ties together, particularly with the serialization format currently being employed by the showrunners.
