** Snow White. Either she's a OneSceneWonder, with Camryn Manheim turning in a genuinely moving and absorbing performance and providing much-needed heart and focus to both the floundering Virginia and the uncertain plot at the end of Part 4, or she's a walking DeusExMachina whose speech to Virginia is built on [[IdiotBall incredible idiocy]] and self-contradiction.

** How The Huntsman came to be? The Queen gave him a crossbow that would never miss a target. He fired it...and the arrow went into his own son. He's convinced himself it was his destiny.
** Upon discovering that [[spoiler: The Queen is actually her mother]], Virginia recalls the day after her mother left and how she was sure she would come back for her clothes. When months passed and Tony said they had to get rid of them, Virginia confesses that she hoped she'd find a note explaining why she left or at least an "I love you".
--> "I almost want to go up to everyone and say 'my mother left when I was ''seven'''! As if that'll explain everything."
** [[spoiler: The death of the Queen is unspeakably tragic. When she's lying in state, Virginia talks about their happier memories from her childhood. While she obviously hates Christine for leaving her and becoming the evil villain she was, she can't fully let go of everything.]]
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: One of the Romani is also a wolf, and Wolf recognises him as one instantly. Unusually for wolves in the rest of the kingdoms, his tribe seem accepting of him. Despite these interesting teases of backstory, he's killed with the rest of the tribe when he could have made a good addition to the party; especially as someone Wolf could interact with that he relates to.
* UnbuiltTrope: One of the earliest examples of PrinceCharmless being applied to a fairy tale setting (''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' and ''Literature/RevoltingRhymes'' got there earlier however). This prince however goes through BreakTheHaughty and develops into a more mature and reasonable prince by the end.

** The dog stuck in Prince Wendell's body. He makes it clear that he doesn't like being a human and just wants to return to normal. Multiple times in the series, he tries reaching out to someone and being a dog again. At one point, he encountered the real Wendell, but they were too far away to touch and return to their original bodies. Another time, he told someone what was really going on, but the Queen killed the man to keep her dirty secret. The poor thing even considered ''suicide'' because he didn't want to be a part of her plot anymore.

* BrokenAesop: Snow White tells Virginia the original version of how she died, that the Evil Queen visited her three times, once with a poison comb, once with a corset to crush her ribs, and then finally with the iconic poison apple. When she gets to that part, she mentions the Dwarves warned her not to answer the door or talk to strangers. But she then says to Virginia, "Why did I let her in? Didn't I know she was bad? Of course I did. But you can't keep the door closed your whole life, just because it's dangerous, just because there's a chance of getting hurt." On the surface this would seem to be a good Aesop about not letting fear control your life...but if she hadn't opened the door to a suspicious old stranger woman, she wouldn't have ended up being poisoned and killed at a young age, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath dying choking in the woman's arms]]--meaning she was ''wrong'' to take the risk. There's a difference between "not being afraid" and just grabbing an IdiotBall. Granted, Snow White was then resurrected by the Prince and lived out a long enough life for her grandson Wendell to remember her, but she had no way to know that when she opened the door to the old woman.

Applying the correct trope.
Added DiffLines:
* SweetnessAversion: Largely avoided, which is an exceptional feat for a 10-hour miniseries about fairy tales. But in certain places, the sappiness factor was cranked up to eleven. See also: hearts and butterflies swarming through the air in Kissing Town under a ''pink, heart-shaped moon''. Insulin, STAT. Add in the literal LoveIsInTheAir, most exemplified by the massive pink heart which appears over Wolf and Virginia's head as they share their first kiss, and the little Cupid girl skipping through the streets dispensing fortunes, and... yeah. Then there's the singing ring... Sort of PlayedForLaughs, mind. Of course, this trope seems to be [[InvokedTrope the entire]] ''point'' of Kissing Town.

* EvilIsSexy: Wolf, at least in the sense that for much of the miniseries he is technically a bad guy, or at least his allegiance is unclear.
