Fimber, I have a question. Don't take this the wrong way, because I love Once Upon a Time too, but how can you find (at the very least, the second season) less of a fantasy soap opera than Merlin seasons 4 and 5? I mean, the "royal" families are all equally disfuncutional on both shows. And Regina was sort of like a reverse Morgana and then back again; I've found some of her delovopment very over-the-top. First we were supposed to dislike her cuz she was the evil queen, then she was mislead by her mother and betrayed by Snow White, so we felt sorry for her and season 2 was supposed to be her redemption but how she's working WITH her mother to kill Snow, Charming, and Emma so she can steal her son back. I find her even HARDER than Morgana, to some extent, to sympathize with as a character. At least Morgana switched sides and STUCK TO IT; she didn't flip flop.
