Yeah and i don’t believe that the time should be spread around equally. That is not the show i want to watch and that was not the show we had first season. There was always Emma, there was always Emma and Mary Margaret even if it was just one scene. There was always a little bit of good in all this, and there was a little bit of good, but there was way too much of not in the first episode, in my opinion of course.
I am fine with Rumpel in his capacity as part of the plot, Regina/Rumpel, the family/Rumpel, Rumpel setting the wraith through. It is the nonsensical Belle scenes that have not a thing to do with the plot that are too much for me. And Belle came back and said she wanted to change him? It was a silly end and i really thought they were going to give her a backbone for a second and have her at least leave until the next episode.
To me the main plot is the family and there should have been more family and way less of the fairytale land part of the episode and less of Rumpel and Belle. All i know was that this was not what i wanted to see and if they are going to continue like that i am just not so sure right not. And it sort of felt like ep 1 was split three ways. Fairytale land, Rumpel and Belle, and the family, so imagine that is what the episodes are sort of going to be like. Like next time we will have Charming and Regina in Storybrooke, Emma and Snow in fairytale land present, and Regina in fairytale land pre curse.
