We have the story of amnesiac Belle, nearly forgotten as well kinda amnesiac Sneezy, the story of Greg the stranger, of Cora on a power conquering trip, Regina’s fight for Henry, Hook’s revenge, Rumple’s search for his son, Emma finding her new identity + figuring out (her) magic + getting used to have parents + being a parent herself besides being the one to save Storybrooke, the world and everybody. We have Snow and David having to deal with for a change not being separated for a while. There is the fight between the “evil” team and the “good” team lurking (good and evil can be so ambiguous, especially in this show). There was the Story of Dr. Whale (but guess won’t hear much about him anymore for the rest of the season), Ruby and her grandma are still involved (but somehow now doubt, we get to hear more about them this season). Without closure the stories of Phillip, Mulan and Aurora. Oh, and then there is the still unanswered question of what happened to August. And what about the fairies? And now we have Anton and the possibility of growing magic beans in Storybrooke, which eventually Cora will try to steal. Not to forget what spoilers are telling us or we are hoping for, the whole happy family reunion, or not so happy one, Snow White's mother, young Cora.
Feeling like sitting in an overspeeding carousel. 🙄
When you see it typed out I completely agree. I think what is getting me is that we all of these stories but we are basically going to miss what would be the journey of some characters. Like Aurora and Mulan I think they could have made an interesting storyline but since they are no longer attached to Emma then we might not get to see them until there is a connection again.
But I do agree that there is so much there and it definitely feels a bit overwhelming at times. I guess that those who are “secondary” only have their stories told when it involves the main characters somehow (i.e. Ruby when she crossed paths with Snow, then Snow and David etc).
I don’t know how feasible it would be but it would be sort of nice to have some off show things–not sure what exactly maybe a journal of Mulan cataloging the journey. Something like this to sort of expand the world even more…
Just something…
