I feel like 5B is an improvement over the dreadful 5A and 4B, but It is very much Meh. I think people's reaction is overrated at this point because of the "hype" since I saw a lot of people saying that 5A is "the best season ever" only that with time they changed their minds once they saw the season as a whole and how disjointed it was. All TV shows, by nature of being a tv show, are both episodic and serialized. Also, you really don't seem to understand what filler means. Filler means you can take the episodes out of the story, and there will be no impact. I'm pretty sure, you would be very confused if you watched 511 where Hook dies, and then you watch 523 where he will be very much alive, but others may be dead, and not be confused. Yeah, filler are plot devoid pretty much. If anyone thinks every episode of this season thus far is filler than you would obviously be very, very wrong. The plot is: Find Hook, give happy endings, topple Hades, leave. You can't say that the episode they rescued Hook is filler because that was the PLOT in the first place. WE went in with that plot and you and some may not like it, but you can't dismiss that that is the main plot point from the finale into this season.

There were no filler episodes this season, at all. There seemingly won't be any at all.

Plots of the season are: Escape/Topple Underworld, Rumple/Belle's dilemma, Zelena's dilemma (From Dorothy to Hades). If we get another episode on Merida and her in SB shooting arrows at the townsfolk, then that would be filler.
