I don’t see why not as long as its interesting and keeps us captivated.
This is how I feel as well. I mean, I was totally captivated in S1, which was a curse that lasted an entire season….
[adrotate group="5"]The problem is that if they waste an entire season or even a half with Henry interacting with cursed versions of the others then that is pretty pointless. It isn’t like with Emma when she came to town and interacted with Snow and Charming, who were cursed, because Emma didn’t have a relationship with them yet and we were seeing the build of that relationship.
Henry has a relationship with these characters and any drama that would be created would all just be gone the moment their memories were returned, so it would all be meaningless.
If there is going to be a memory issue then it shouldn’t last more then three episodes.
Unless Henry doesn’t remember them either. He could be cursed too. I feel that Lucy is going to take on the Henry role of this season, trying to convince Henry to believe in magic and remember who he is. A gender flipped Season 1.

Keeper Of Tamara's Taser , Jafar's Staff, Kitsis’s Glasses , Ariel’s Tail, Dopey's Hat , Peter Pan’s Shadow, Outfit, & Pied Cloak,Red Queen's Castle, White Rabbit's Power To World Hop, Zelena's BroomStick, & ALL MAGICI don’t see why not as long as its interesting and keeps us captivated. I think having them in the real world is a must (the EF would get too boring after awhile) and having them cursed with new personas make it a fresh start. If they were cursed back to their normal alter egos, then its just repetitive. Its something, guys. Gotta take what we can get at this point. I don’t think there is much this show can do anymore to liven things up.
Because no one wants to see them separated from all their loved ones for an entire season, that’s too much. Sure it may not be nothing if you watch it on Netflix as a binge watch but asking the audience to wait 22 episodes to see them reunited is asking way too much. Especially if they’re cursed the entire time. That would just anger audiences. The least thing they want to do is alienate the little audience they have left.
I say mid season finale it’s all done and then the second half is about getting back to SB and reuniting with everyone and facing the final evil or whatever. I do believe in 7B we’ll see more of Emma, Snowing, Belle, and Zelena.

This entire show is about people being separated from their loved ones. Like every season.
That would just anger audiences.
That may anger you, but some of us find the idea interesting.

I agree, but I don’t think a villain separating them is what will make people tune out. If the characters all just sat around happy and lovey dovey facing no issues, it wouldn’t be a very good season. We need conflict. This is conflict.
I just want to focus on Henry doing whatever it is he is supposed to be doing to break the curse, reunite his family, and get to the bottom of this “I’m your daughter” issue. Not just watch the characters chill and be happy.
I personally have no issue with the curse or memory wipe so long as they can switch it up and make it interesting."I could have the giant duck as my steed!" --Daniel Radcliffe

Yeah I mean they have to switch it up. If you’re going to do the same schtick every time, at least twist it a bit. And they’ve done it so many times now that they really need to switch it up A LOT. Like, serious question….why do they keep doing memory wipes? And I don’t want an answer like, “Well they are horrible unoriginal writers and can’t think of anything else.” That’s ridiculous. Do they really think that they can only do a full season of drama if there is a curse and everyone doesn’t remember stuff? Are they trying to just mirror season 1 on purpose? Bc there’s no way that a memory wipe is the only thing these writers can come up with. Was this the only way to be able to have their cake and eat it too (keep Regina, Hook and Rumple on the show but also keep their Enchanted Forest selves? Like, there has got to be better reasoning than just these writers don’t know what else to do. Do they think that curses and memory wipes are actually what the fans want? I just don’t get it.

That would mean that no one would have their real memories besides the new characters and all of the drama from that would just vanish the second the characters regained their memories. That would be fake drama that would have no consequences because it is based on fake memories and it would vanish the moment their memories reappeared. I think Henry being in his full mind and the show being about why he decided to leave the magic world is much more interesting. It is Henry actually making a choice. All good writing is fundamentally about good and evil and choice, and if you take out the choice then it is much less interesting. And that is what this show has been doing for seasons. The characters have their memories wiped so they act stupid for awhile until they get them back.
I think the flawed, realistic, human being who is trying to do the right thing, but doesn’t always is more interesting. The show being about how those choices effect the people around them is much more interesting then just oh they are cursed, again and didn’t know what they were doing until Lucy gets her parents to fall in love again for the second time and kiss and then their memories are returned and all the drama is gone instantly is not great. They could instead have real drama about why Lucy’s mother left Henry or why Henry left her and have it be about those real choices.
That is the biggest plus is they can now start over with new characters who we don’t know about and let us see them make some good and bad choices and see how those choices effect each other. They have a clean slate. I just don’t know if they get that part of writing anymore.
Also, like i am all for Henry and Lucy’s mother fall in love again and their kiss doing something, i just don’t want them to fall in love again while not remembering that they fell in love the first time. Because they can now do all the complicated we split up and were apart for years and we have this kid and we parted badly real drama that they meant to do it just touched on, they could now do it. Their could be good depth there with interesting choices made and interesting reasons, so make the show about that, not oh they were cursed.
As to why they keep doing memory wipes, i think that the writers have somehow forgot that they should hide things from the audience, not from the characters. The moment we, the audience, know something, it needs to come out on the show. On screen. In Season 1 they had all of these weird cryptic moments where we didn’t know what was going on, like all the hints about who Red was or that weird scene where Rumpel was digging in the forest. There were tons of these things. Then in Season 3B when we meet Zelena we immediately know she is evil and we very quickly know who she is and yet the main characters interact with her like complete morons for half the season. That doesn’t work. It is like they have forgotten how to do mystery.
I think Henry being in his full mind and the show being about why he decided to leave the magic world is much more interesting. It is Henry actually making a choice.
I totally agree with this. I think it would make it interesting if something happened and he lost Lucy’s mother for reasons pertaining to magic. If he were estranged from his family because of heartbreak, that would be a good building block for instant conflict… Of course I also think it would be fun if Henry realised he needed a specific skill set to do whatever he has to do and calls home and this is the unlikely trio sent across the country to assist him. Heh. Hijinks ensue.
I am curious – I don’t assume they are going to age Regina and Hook in every single episode, so what are they going to do to explain the fact that they all stay the same age? What do you think are good excuses they COULD use?
I’m going with fairy tales being tied to belief keeps them young. OR the Dark Curse 3.0 never being broken means they all stay in stasis, age-wise.
