You know as much as it was a pain in the ass for the characters to contend with at the beginning, taking Snow from such and earlier point and forcing her learning development to come from what she has in Marrowood vs the Show is actually a really wonderful thing to watch.
I really wish she had a Charming to complete the package that is her entourage. Even still, I love where she's come from, what she's become, and I want to see more--even if she's keen to let her daughter take the charge, and mother the shit out of everyone.
Also more SnowHat :| just for fucking fun what other reason do we need. None.
