Yeah, the villan's plots always seem really complicated. I've never understood why they don't just kill everyone in their path. I guess it's because then the show would last one episode, and the heroes would lose! :) It's like the stereotypical villain explaining their creative, evil plot to the hero, just to have the hero manage foil them, after escaping, because they know exactly how to destroy their plan. Once's version of this is just that the heroes somehow find some highly convenient, simple way to destroy the villain ten seconds before they succeed. I kind of wish they had made the alternate universe an entire half-season or possibly an entire season. The writers would have had a lot of space to play around with that. I suppose evil Snow might get old fast, but it couldn't be worse than some other thing they may come up with. Yes, I too think that Gold without magic would be horribly boring. I just think nothing will manage to happen without him to mix things up!
