(tw: rape mention) David getting angry with Snow for being raped (and yes, her realtionship with Whale was rape as she was not in her right mind and could not consent) infuriates me to no end. The fact that Snow's rape has been made into a running joke is sickening. David needs to move on.

How do we know the BF is the most powerful evil ever? What sets her apart from Pan, Ingrid, Rumple, Maleficent? We don't know. The problem with introducing the Big Bad halfway through the second half of the season is she was no impact. What are her motives? What can she do? All e've seen so far is that she kidnaps kids, which is horrible, but not undefeatable. I don't think there's a sexual assault issue there. Whale and MM were both cursed. You can't blame a cursed guy for doing things he has no control over. It's not like he cursed himself and did such a thing. Two. Under Cursed logic, both were consenting adults. The MM persona and the Whale persona choose to go on a date together and have a one night stand.

On this second thing about BF, I agree. Jaime Murray's doing a great job, but they'd done a greater service by kicking out Jafar from earlier 6A and replace with her to see more of her.
