That way we are consistent and it's the same for all characters, regardless of when/how/if they went to Camelot :D I agree with Killian's suggestion to keep consistency with what is already established. However, I would like to add a minor revision. Everything since the group's return to SB should NOT be "After Third Curse", it should be "During Third Curse" as the Curse was not broken during that time. Whether the Curse has been 'broken' since Emma returned everyone's memories can be decided after the events of 5x11. That was my initial idea, but it's not consistent at all, because the memories are not returned all at the same time. Hook's curse ended earlier, the gang's ended later, probably Arthur will get his memories even later? Who knows? And there doesn't seem anything to "break" this time, so unless we get a proper breaking of this curse, I think we should just do Before and After the Curse, meaning, before and after it was cast. The Curse hasn't been broken yet, some of them simply had their memories returned, such as Emma remembering her (very short) life in the enchanted forest, or Zelena taking a memory potion. Clearly, the memory effects of the curse can be broken or reversed without breaking the curse. Going chronologically, the show is currently in the Third Curse, So we'd be using "Before Third Curse" for the camelot events, Which I think should start with Emma arriving in the Enchanted Forest after becoming the Dark One, and "During Third Curse" For the events currently being experienced in Storybrooke. When the Curse is broken, which would likely require True Love's Kiss (likely done by either Emma and Hook or Gold and Belle), as with the previous Curses, Then we will begin using "After Third Curse" for the events following that. That's my opinion on the matter.
