Emma needs a friend more than anything else, someone not already caught up in all of the other relationships around,and not only a dashing pirate lover. Emma and Elsa share feeling uneasy with their own magical powers, know a life of isolation as children, and being thrown into a strange world. I am rather tired of all the romance and family drama, the shows I like most were always shows with at least one strong, important friendship in it.
I wouldn’t mind if Emma and Elsa get their own show and let Regina, and Rumple and the rest have this one. Maybe Mulan and Red can join and have some great adventures.
Guess it will last for this half season, after that will be probably more of a Facebook friendship, Elsa hopefully reunited with Anna, Kristoff, back in Arendelle, trying to rebuild things there, or something. Sometimes mentioned in OUaT but not shown.
