As to say again, if Neal had the kiss curse and etc to protect Henry and stuff, it would be better but would it really be that much better (look without bias)?

And no, I don't think the characters cared more for Hook or Neal because they hardly interact in any meaningful way. What I'm saying is that with Neal there wouldn't have been a need to use the lips curse. I think Snow suddenly approving of her daughter being with a guy who sexually harassed her is OOC, something that wouldn't have happened with Neal. They would still. You simply can't say they wouldn't do a plot just because. Snow had major issues in that regard anyhow as she and David pushed Emma to Neal and then to Hook. I think they are trying to push her to happiness (in romance). It's not OOC for Snow as we have no clue what she feels about sexual harrassment...I mean she physically assaulted Charming. But you have to consider why they used that plot device as well. It wasn't something to do with Zelena, it was to create a some sort of tension between Emma and Hook, something that Emma and Neal wouldn't have needed because of what happened between them. They still would have used it because they still would try to not have Emma easily save the day. LOL, yeah you're right. I forgot about Regina needs to save the day for some reason. However, here's the thing about weak plot devices, you could easily invented something else and get the same outcome. The thing is we can't assume that if they keep a better character that anything else would be better. I'm certain none of us expected Snow and David to be destroyed like they were and they were pretty good characters in 3b. I think their destruction started in 3B when Snow started teasing Regina about boys, who knew that's what they needed to resolve everything between them. Also there is this: http://img2.tvtome.com/i/u/cw/58c7a77b38ce4223c2927c64fe553bb4.jpg Would you say that this didn't make her stupid? No, it was funny, but I'd let that go. Helps reason Zelena's super-illusion skills, lol.
