And why do I have a feeling that this season is going to be like season 1 again. Sounds like it because of the evil queen back and the Charmings seem to be announced to take action again and are earning more focus and attention like s1 to s3.

It is also possible we may see more Bandit Snow White adventures this time. I definitely would love to see Emma interacting with Bandit Snow White fully in some future season just like how she somewhat did when time traveling. But this time she and Henry can interact with the Bandit and their past mother and grandmother. It won't be like season 1. They always say that for an upcoming season to have paople excited. As long as there is magic in Storybrooke, no it will never remind us S1 or S2. They actually had a chance to destroy it in the season finale bu they wasted it. It means the writers really don't know how to handle things without magic. What a shame The thought is that it will be more like season one in that we will have more "character of the week" episodes. Yep, I think it probably will be like that but the issue would be (which I'm guessing the writers will figure out) that it would be just like "Soul of the week" in 5b, so they'd have to mix things up. Plus, the writers can't resist not having the others in their backstory (rightfully so as we can't spend half and episode about a character we never saw and will never see again without connection to someone in the main cast, even character develeopment-wise).

I feel like it'll be the "person of the week", but I have a feeling it might not end up that way.

And, no, we need magic on this show, because it's a fantasy, fairytale drama, not some serialized crime drama, lol. Yes, of course we need magic. But not in modern-day. It wasn't like that in S1 which most of the people enjoyed most. Actually, Kathyrn's dissapearance reminded me a little bit crime show :D I want them to handle things like noırmal people, so we can understand what they're going through. Because sometimes it goes like childish. About the "person of the week", I actually agree with you. But as you said, they'll probably mix things up with the main cast. But I mean, does every person have to have a connection with our heroes? It's already gone to a unrealistic way about that from the beginning of S4. If they want to do something like S1, I'm in but I just don't want Aladdin to be a close friend of bandit Snow White.
