My Personal Least Favorite Episodes are -

1) The Bear King (5x09)

Pointless, boring, and complete with characters that were both uninteresting and even made worse with the fact that its previous episode (5x08, Birth) was an amazing episode, but still didn't land by top 5 or 10 list.

2) Darkness on the Edge of Town (4x12)

Although Cruella's backstory (6x19, Sympathy for the De Vil) is a good, twisty episode reminiscent of Season One, this episode I feel is horrible as it sets up all of the drab, poorly-executed plot lines to come in my least favorite arc and season. Regina carried some of the weight, but from here on out she doesn't have a good centric until 6x07 and 6x15. (Heartless and Page 23)

3) The Broken Kingdom (5x04)

I hated the characters, and this was definitely the most hyped up but equally disappointing season of them all because of the potential it had for the Dark Swan, but ultimately failed in its pursuit with the development of Camelot.

4) Dark Waters (6x06)

Although other Hook centrics (3x05, Good Form and 3x12, New York City Serenade) were good, same with his episodes involving Regina and Cora (2x09, The Queen of Hearts), ultimately, this episode was featureless and Jared Gilmore seemed bored throughout the whole episode, which didn't help my own boredom.

5) Ill-Boding Patterns (6x13)

Season 6 is getting better and better in the backhalf of the season, which I hope culminates into a great musical episode and finale, but I'll-Boding Patterns, following the intense Murder Most Foul, was a disappointing adaption of Beowulf. So far, it is the only episode I seriously dislike in 6B.

Honorable Mentions: Only You (6x22), The Bear and The Bow (5x06), Dreamy (1x14), White Out (4x02), and Changelings (6x09).
