They really ran into the ground the whole Emma is the Savior

This show had so many twists and turns, the savior has been everyone at this point....rumple, emma just cuz rumple said so.....but then we learn about the dark fairy making the curse.....i mean they can do the show without her it is possible, just depends on the writers, and ouat has some good ones

The whole overdone heroes vs villains, fate of the world apocalypse stuff took a very rich world full of wonderful characters and possibilities and made it very small and two dimensional. The show would be wise to lay off the Savior angle with the soft reboot and take things back to basics.
