Charming's story with the mystery of who killed his father is by far the best for me so far in this season. It's an ok season for now, but for me Emma and Regina have stories where they have to relearn lessons they should have learned a long time ago and Rumbelle are stuck in the same place they have been in again and again too and Hook and Zelena just bore me so far.

Among other things, I suspect Hyde told EQ about Emma's savior syndrome.

I guess she gave it up in the Uw when wanting to be Snow for 4 days lol. That confused too
Well I like Emma in this episode and I enjoy some aspects of the EQ but I do agree that rumple and reginas themes are repetive. |

If they had chosen to go with Regina helping Clarinda/Jacob as a form of healing some of her remaining pain over Daniel's murder, she would still have had to take a secondary role, as Emma's story is what's moving the current arc. |

^^ and she did with the help of her true loves, Killian and Henry.
Ashley was her first save/Happy ending and she did with henry's help, now the history repeats itself and she did it with her boys makes perfect sense! |

I'm sure there will be plenty more Regina-centric plots to come. |

Um, Regina being involved would actually require her character to care about someone else for a change. Emma cares about others, that's why she helps them. Regina doesn't help people. It's not in her nature. She said herself, she doesn't even like doing good.

I thought they would mention Daniel and Regina too because they mentioned him in the Underbrooke story when almost no one expected it. And the Cinderella story was very similar to the original D & R story of season 1. But maybe the writers don't notice anymore how often they copy older stories. It happens a lot.
For better or for worse when the writers have Emma and Regina work together it is more dynamic. I understand why many like it when the writers make them a team. How it is now with Emma and Hook is nice for their shippers surely, but it makes Hook more a prop than a character to me too. |

Prop? Give me a break.
At least Killian is actually supportive of Emma, and able to give her the encouragement and comfort she needs. The last thing she needs is more of Regina being rude and belittling her, like the Evil Queen did, especially when she's going through such a difficult time. She's much better off being around the people who love her. They are the hope she needs that whatever this vision means she can be the savior and still get her happy ending. __________________

I like that cs were working together as a couple and I agree that sometimes just because some stories parrallek doesn't mean they use the exact person like both Gaston and count parralled Hook wanting vengeance but Hook wasent in their stories

Emma doesnt need "you're such a waste of ability" "looks like the saviour needs saving" "now I bench you" "you were upset we followed you to the UW" should I go on? no right Killian and henry are HER TEAM, Killian has an story of his own, its not just a prop |

2) I don't believe Regina would have gained any character growth from this. She's already turning to Snow for help in the fight against the EQ, the past forgotten. 3) With Regina helping, she would have done the locator spell, poofed them where they need to go, frozen the step-mother with her magic, healed Ashley etc. And Emma would have had no character growth at all, felt like a failure, gotten no control over her magic, and lost hope. She certainly would not have been able to try and have a future with Hook or anyone-else. |
