I agree, I don’t like it at all. The wish realm is typical A&E move – eating the cake and having it too.
I honestly don’t think they are going to go that route (and I really hope not). That isn’t to say that they can’t go the route of setting it in an alternate reality though, and there are endless possibilities for variation on the main Once Upon A Time story that we have seen. I’d like to think that this reboot will be much more significant/substantial than previous soft reboots though.
