I'm a little more understanding about the Snow thing. I feel a lot of it is the writing, and lbr Snow and Charming have an almost unhealthy dependency on one another. I don't think at this point they could function without the other half. They'd go ballistic.

Snow's definitely not mother of the year, either, but for Snow Emma should be an infant and Snow knows literally nothing about being a parent, which is part of the problem. Emma is an adult woman who doesn't know how to feel about her recently-discovered mother (who is probably younger than Emma since they're from a medieval fairytale land). Their relationship is never going to be on level with what it should be, and Snow shouldn't have to put aside wanting to have another kid simply because Emma is having hardship. The entire situation is bad, and the show doesn't really explore Snow's internal struggles as much as the others. It's probably mega emotionally damaging to have your first child, and then essentially wake up the next day to discover your baby is now 28 and independent and isn't sure they want to get to know you.

The fact Snow wanted to have a baby was also framed as an "awful dark terrible secret you don't want anyone to know" from what I remember of the episode where they rescued Neal, so Snow probably isn't very guilt-free about the entire thing.

A lot of the writing for this show is inconsistent as all hell and a lot of character choices don't make any dang sense tho so y'know. Everyone on the show is kind of an unintentional asshole. Charming was annoying as hell during 3A.

Maybe I take the Snow and Emma thing too personally. I have a very strong relationship with my mother, but we’ve gone through a couple of seriously rough patches. My thought is that you keep trying no matter what. Snow should be continually trying to have a relationship with Emma, and it seems like she can’t be bothered anymore. Her priority list goes 1- Charming 2- Regina 3- Baby Neal 4- Emma, and that’s skewed.

If the two women sat down and talked and decided, “This is too weird and hard. Let’s just be friends instead of mother and daughter” I’d be fine with it because it’s a solution. Instead they exist in this weird limbo that the show seems to think is fine.

But yeah, I agree that most of these issues are caused by the terrible writing. At this point, I like exactly two main characters and a few of the side characters and fast-forward through everything else. I guess I get angry because the show could be so much better than it is, and I resent the lost potential.

Yeah, like I said earlier, despite Emma being the Savior and the main character, she gets shoved to the side a LOT so everyone else can do what they want. It doesn't matter what it is, Emma is the last on the list of priorities for everything on the show. I hated that Emma was FORCED to lose her magic, just to make an excuse to kiss Hook, because everyone suddenly lost common sense and decided he was the perfect companion to bring along in a magic battle, all so Emma would stop being a. pissed at Hook and b. so Regina could save the day instead. Ew.

I've decided to quit the show after how much of a disaster S3 was and I'm pretty upset by it. There are very few things that would convince me to go back, and I'm definitely not touching it until the Frozen shit is done.

When Emma lost her magic, wasn't she supposed to giving CPR to Hook...? Only it was the weakest-ass CPR ever and really chest compressions would have been the better way to go?

Just to add to the BS pile.

Basically. But at that point the writers had written Emma and Hook into a corner, so the only way to get Emma to go anywhere near Hook's mouth was to make up a bullshit reason to need to save his life, because it was the only IC option.

They just scraped all other sense in the process.
