Am I the only one amused at the fact that the collective OUAT fandom response to the ScarletBeauty kiss seems to be "Leave ScarletQueen alone; btw, zero f***s given about Rumbelle"? XD Rumple, you got what you deserved! :D

Anyways, even as an Evil Regal I think people are being too harsh on Snow White, especially compared to the level of sympathy the villains get. But let's face it: "I do horrible things because I've been hurt and left broken" is a much more relatable self-justification than "I do horrible things because I profess to be an unyielding hero and therefore I know best". And as I said, her attempt at covering everything up instead of facing whatever wrong she did is plain tasteless.

Side note: I loved Season 4A, but I relate to those who feel it was filler compared to what we're getting now. The arc itself was very nice and charming, but it was so self-focussed it didn't move any main plot point forward. What brought us here and gave the characters a chance at developing was the Hat subplot, which was marginal and barely (if not forcedly) related to the main Frozen plot, and could have been condensed into a couple of episodes without any of the Snow Queen drama. What we got was basically OUAT put on hold while the writers (admittedly) developed a very beautiful Frozen fanfiction. I loved and already miss the Frozen characters, but I'm quite glad we're back to OUAT full time at last.
