I just started watching this show about 3 weeks ago. I have caught up all the way to the end of Season 4 in that time, but will have to wait for the 5th Season to come out on DVD to see the new episodes. This being Said my opinion of it its just on the first 4 season.

I like watching the show, but not sure if I enjoy it, because it annoys me so much. Starting with the Snow White and Prince Charming story. They went back to that story so much I actually got annoyed when that was the main part of the episode.

The other thing I think they failed about was the Heroes and Villians storyline. The idea they went with was the "Villians get to be heroes to get there happy endings" I think it would have been more interesting to have it set in the same time, and the Villians are still Villians but they still get their happy endings. And it could have started with the "Author" writing that Hook comes in to stop Rumple and the Author but Rumple with his last burst of life reaches out and rips out hooks heart and destroys it. The Author could have wrote that his heart was healing before this from thinking of all the good he had down, and his love for Belle. And the story arc could have gone from there. This would allow the Villians to be Villians and get their happy ending. And then the "Heroes" would have to try and stop the Author when everything was not going their way. It's like the creators of the show are too scared to allow the Villains to have any happiness so they give the "Heroes" glitches to find a way to win.

On top of this How are Snow White and Prince Charming even considered Heroes. I mean the thing they did with Lily is the worst of any decision. They literally made one child have no chance at life because she was ripped from her mother, with only the option of bad choices in life. So they could selfishly take "fate" away from Emma. This decision should automatically make them the villians.

This brings me to another point the Heroes lives are easy, where the Villians have to make tough decisions and bigger losses. Snow for example was raised by a caring mother, and was given everything. Even when she lost her mother she just thought she died, if she had known she was poisoned would she not have taken the candle. Then when she loses her father she runs, and endangers everyone who helps her. She could have just left, and not worried about her kingdom. Later she has the chance to kill the Evil Queen and save the whole kingdom, but instead to save her good heart she decides not to, and leads to the suffering of everyone else in the kingdom. Prince Charming lost his dad at a young age, due to a terrible decision by his parents, and in the future he is taken from being a shepard given a kingdom, finds his True Love, and even when he loses his mother she does something for him by not letting him be selfish by giving the water to Snow. Where as Rumple loses his Wife to a Pirate because he didn't want to die and leave his child fatherless. So when he is about to lose that child later he makes the decision to save him, but yet he is thought of as evil, where Snow and Prince are thought of as for making a selfish decision to save theirs. Regina loses her love because Snow at 10 couldn't keep a secret, I mean at 10 you understand what a secret is. Moreover the most selfish person in the Show Geppetto still gets his happy ending even though he made the most selfish of decisions.

So this is the reason I am starting to not like the show. I mean everyone who is a Hero did what the Villians did but yet they are making the same decisions as the Villians. I really like Rumple, Regina, and the Author. They just wanted to be happy, and the Heroes allow them to be. And Hook needs to die soon, he is annoying, and a Villian who persuaded a wife to leave her Child. Yeah true hero there.

And another question how do we have Frozen, but no Aladdin Characters. I mean we had to deal with the Frozen story line which was actually annoying after a while, it just went way to long. And they could have gotten a better Dorothy for the Oz storyline. I actually would have enjoyed the story more if they just stayed in the past and connected all the stories together there.

Was actually glad to see Emma become the DO, but I am sure that will still end well for the "Heroes" also, and then I will have to give up on the show
