The Bear King was filler, but it did have Zelena, Arthur, and Merida who played significant roles in the whole arc. You can't just cut to an episode where Will goes back to Wonderland and finds Ana stasia with no main stars involved or people will be confused.

The main problem with Bear King was being placed right when "the story was geting good". To me that was one of the reasons I loved it so much, because it gave me a breather and a fun hour to catch my bearings between all the action. What they shouldn't have done is put such a huge cliffhanger like Dark Hook right before it. That pissed a lot of people off.

And I think if the Wonderland episode were to include the famous Wonderland-related guest stars (Cora and Jefferson), people wouldn't mind if it was abesnt of most of the main characters. All we really need is:

Why Will and Ana split up?

Who saved Jabber and where is she now?

How did Will ever find Ana again? Yes, if Cora, Jefferson, and Will were all featured in the episode, I don't think anyone would even care if the main cast was not in the episode. Besides, with a show like Once, when it starts running for a long time, it would actually be nice to get a break episode from the main cast a few times a season.
