Also, sometimes, I think that if the characters remained cursed in Storybrooke until the end of the series, I would enjoy it more. What I loved about the show is the normalcy of the classic fairytale characters that we know, and we lost that after the curse was broken because everyone, even the plot, relies to magic to move forward. I partially agree. I wouldn't want the curse to not be broken because then we would have never had any of the plot and etc that we had because I'm sure they couldn't keep up the memory loss for 5 seasons.

However, it is true they use magic as the conflict and every villain depends on magic and the day is solved by magic. I think season 2 is the most balanced in terms of living a normal lives and the magic usage. And I still remember the hatred of season 2, when it was still pretty good. People may hate Greg and Tamara, but they at least had real consistent focus, showing Once can do multiple plots at the same time.

I never had so much problem with Greg and Tamara, they were lame, but it was a time where the main characters were more important than the guest stars so I didn't have a problem. I do think that after reaching the climax of 216, the pace was much slower than what an end of the season pace should feel, but they really needed to set up Neverland so it was more a beginning than an end. It was pretty much illogical that Pan went with an elaborate plan of a magic hating home office just to fetch Henry instead of sending the shadow to fetch him, but as I said it doesn't bother me cause it helped the characters development.
