Forced relationships are the worst part of the show...


Julia and alternate universe Penny (They seem to have to put him with every female character)

Margo and Josh out of nowhere.

It's not that they are so bad, but they shouldn't need the conversations about their relationships in every episode.

They're not great, but that's not the worst of it to me. I don't really like the 'we don't have magic anymore...but we do...but we don't have a lot...but here's a wishing well full of it...oh but I got stabbed by an enchanted lemon so not anymore...but I cried and it's back now!" flip-flopping.

I get that they need to raise the stakes while also lending hope to their characters. But it's just not well balanced. The relationship thing, on the other hand, is just a boring and lazy outdated thing all shows tend to do.
