Want to try and answer some of those questions @Obisgirl posted
1. What would happen if the author didn’t manipulate the story?
I really need to believe that there is still free will in this show. As much as I hated what the Charmings did, I want to believe that they did it (for silly, stupid, selfish, human, parental reasons) of their own accord. Because if the heroes can be forced to do bad, then so can the villains and I don’t want this show to suddenly erase all the bad the villains did do in the past.
2. Are we all one decision away from becoming a villain and could a second chance alter the course of history for the better?
A thousand times over yes. The difference between a hero and a villain is what they do when they come to a major crossroads in their life. Do they chose love, forgiveness, heroism? Or do they chose anger, bitterness, and ego? And, as always, it’s about where you’re standing. A hero in my eyes is not a hero in yours. The waters aren’t clear and the line in the sand is thin and mostly invisible.

I totally agree.
