I agree, but I do have to say somethingI have yet to make a thread about.....Magic is simply overpowered. Who could combat the Evil Queen.....another magic user, because she could escape hordes of men and devastate populations which she ended up doing.

That is the problem post season 1 and sort of 2ish. How do you stand up to people that can seemingly do anything. I know those gibberish cop-outs for "laws" that they break. What makes Witchcraft different from geneie magic. Both users seem to be able to do things with a wave of a hand. What can be done with a wave versus potion or big curse? We don't know! If Regina can animate a lion tatooo, then she could probably turn a yard of stone soldiers into a whole army.

Even the magic fights are a joke because who ever does the first move will likely win.

The lack of small town drama is also what limits the whole "All things come at a price." when none of those people matter. Like the town meeting in 3b, Regina could level that whole building when facing mob justice. Emma couldn't touch Regina or Rumple without Magic.

Hook pays little for his consequeces, because they are quote minor, biut also he has no magic, so he can squueze in apology. Regina can threaten the town and be "forgiven" the next day because what can they do to her.

Yes, Snow's trivial comment on adultery shows how far this show has fallen. I still love it, but everything feels like a joke.

Emma becomes the Dark One, but am I suposse to feel suspense. I do, but half an arc later it might get resolved and treated as a casual moment. Remember Zelena creeping on pregnant Snow? The Chamrings laugh at it and don't ever think about doing more smart things, to get an edge, to protect themselves from being targets and being harmed. Or what about finding the fairyrtale magic users and watch and patrol them......Does Storybrooke even have a real jail?
