    How many McGuffins do you guys think Adam and Eddy will use for the rest of the season?

    At least one per episode seems to be the requirement.

    NO NO NO NO NO!

    Peter Pan might get redeemed, and possibly at the hands of Emma?

    I want to see Emma the Savior do some saving sure, but I don’t like the idea that villians can do whatever they want and then not work towards redemption, and instead be saved by the Savior! What kind of message is that? This is getting way too Judeo-Christian for me. I realize that the writers have been using the bible as a source since the beginning but this beyong what I can stomach. (My apologies to anyone who is Christian or Jewish here).

    The villians have to make an effort. They should help the savior to help themselves! Like Regina! (And she still has a long way to go). We need to have a villian that refuses to improve and therefore cannot be saved, even by the Savior. An example needs to be set!

    Keeper of Regina's bravery

    The social life of OUAT’s MacGuffins is totally befuddling. We had theĀ Wizard’s Hat which seemingly got as much screen timeĀ asĀ the, excuse my language, Crimson Crown. Then you have things that are mentioned once, and then fall off the face of the earth, never to be seen again.

    I want to see Emma the Savior do some saving sure, but I don’t like the idea that villians can do whatever they want and then not work towards redemption, and instead be saved by the Savior!

    Well, they did exactly that to Rumple, with the biggest MacGuffinest MacGuffin of them all (the head adornment that shall not be mentioned). And it did the character no favors, effectively robbing him of any convincing and satisfying (for the audience) path to redemption. So if they go that route with other villains, and in the process essentially turn Emma herself into a MacGuffin, it’s going to be a huge opportunity missed.

    And I agree with you — some characters I actually really don’t want to see redeemed. Much as I find Zelena amusing, I personally have 0 sympathy for her.Ā And even less for Pan. But that’s personal preferences, we all have them. What worries me is that if they couldn’t pull it off convincingly with a largely sympathetic antagonist like Rumple over, like, 5 seasonsĀ — even though they had plenty of material to work with —Ā am I supposed to think that they areĀ going to manage it convincingly in 1/2 a season for even more despicable characters? Without turning Emma into an unconvincing stereotype in the process?
