Gold still is lying to everyone he knows about what’s going on, The Evil Queen/ Regina is still evil and blaming everyone else for her troubles, and Emma is still the golden child who is there to save the world. Say what you will, but none of the lead characters have seemed to grow in three seasons and multiple story lines. The main characters are basically just tropes, and there’s not a lot of character development. I have multiple grievances when it comes to this show, especially with how poorly written it is. After stopping my viewing half way through, I started to read the recaps and became extremely angry with the way that characters were treated, relationships were displayed, and from there I started to realize how awful this show was at portraying love, which claims to be its central theme. We were rushed into meeting multiple characters, were thrown into the fairytale world out of nowhere, and overall the season felt like it had no real rhyme or reason. Season Two though almost had me immediately shutting off my tv. Quickly in the first season we were introduced to a multitude of characters and everything seemed to be coming together wonderfully, we had many characters that we recognized from Disney movies (obvious since ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Company) and even some fairy tales, with the great inclusion of Robert Carlyle as Rumpelstiltskin (or as you spell it “Rumplestiltskin”), some interesting twists on the tales that we already knew and loved (Red’s story broke my heart), and some truly lovely relationships that tore at the heart.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN FROM ONCE UPON A TIME SERIES
I wasn’t expecting “Fables” (a wonderful comic book series from Bill Willingham which ABC had once had the rights to) or even the RP that I belonged to at a time that drew inspiration from this type of story- but I had really high hopes for it.

I was ecstatic when I found out that there was finally going to be a series about my childhood fairy tales coming to life and having to live in the real world and all the troubles that were going to come from that. I used to watch you back when you first were just a fledgling first season, hoping to gain new followers and break new ground. Once Upon a Time, we need to have a serious talk.
