Yeah, but they shouldn’t spend a bunch of episodes on Jafar either. That is the problem with the show. They spend too much time on things. I think everyone has gotten sick of the Evil Queen because she has been hanging around for ten episodes doing nothing but making empty threats and killing people that don’t matter. Her cursing Snow and Charming was the most interesting thing she has done. It doesn’t help that the characters don’t react to things either. What is Charming doing about the information about his father? There is just all sorts of random things brought up and we are still waiting around for something to happen.
We have a whole season. Let’s see if and when they play out. It was my understanding that Charming just kept the letter and didn’t burn it. Doesn’t mean he’s actively searching for answers right now. Since then him and his wife have been put under a sleeping curse so it’s not exactly on the front burner. And as you said EQ has done something. She got her revenge on Snowing. Now as far as everything else, she hasn’t done much. She has tried things, but failed. She tried to trap Emma and Regina in the mirror world, but failed. She tried to get Henry to choose her, but failed. She tried to get Gold on her side but ultimately failed. She tried to get Zelena on her side, but failed. She tried to get Hyde on her side but he died. And correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe she actually has killed anyone right? She can’t kill anyone I thought. Magic can’t harm her but she can’t kill. I thought that was why she used The Count to do her bidding.
