That's a good point about the finale. Season 1 & 2 were both continuations of the current season plot, with a brief scene at the end to provide the cliffhanger for the summer. Seasons 3 & 4 were somewhat related to the ending of the previous arc (season 3 with the time portal, which was part of Zelena's plot, and season 4 with the Alternat Reality from the Author) but still mostly disconnected, and had the final cliffhanger that was almost totally unrelated to the previous season to set up for the next. and Season 5 was just flat out a disconnect, and the entire 2 hour finale led into the cliffhanger setup (which was at least a little better, but still off).

Hopefully they can reproduce the finale feeling from season 1, where the season finale concludes the current storylines (or at least the main ones), and the cliffhanger actually makes sense and is not a complete left turn.
