Decent. Nothing gained or lossed on rewatch.

Plot. 5A had a solid plot before Birth. Had a solid plot after Birth. Just wish those two plots actually connected! 5B had a decent plot, but the only thing lacking was the end which was "Ruling SB" which meade no sense at all. If it was, "SB, then all the worlds!" it would have been at least more passable. (Edit: Forgot Arthur, but the writers did too. XD)

Character: Snow, Robin, David, Belle, Henry, townsfolk....get outta here! Emma was okay over the course of the season, but the constant flattery of "Great plan" "Love will win" was all terrible because Emma's plan was dumb, impulsive and led to a single father of two children dead. But hey, boyfriend's alive! Regina didn't do much until 5b when she did wonderful until she came up with her new "I'm a victim" plan, I mean, technically came up by Shady Snow and Emma. Hook actually did the Rumple! He learned not to put people on pedastals and unhook that contigency on Emma...only to put it back on in the next episode. Really guys, take a look. 5x15 has Hook go from "I put too much stock in you" to 5x16 "Regina, stupid squiggly lines. Emma, I'll never doubt your perfect plans, my love." Rumple became more sinister, but I think it was unintentional....and a tad funny. Zelena's the best of them all.

Humor: Falls flat as Regina calls Hook "Guyliner" every fifth episode and it wasn't funny at first and repeating it just makes it worse. Hook's sense of humor becomes a few shades just plain rude. Rumple's was on point as was Zelena's.
