Oh, Slurpeez, I love your description. I, too, miss the days of Season one when Emma was just Emma. She might have been ardently shipped with Mr. Gold (oh, they were frightening) or Regina or August but it was different. Now it just seems there’s so much enmity among the fandom that its dividing everything.
That said, I do adore my Neal. 😉
