That's what I expect. If this wasn't a family show I'd take pleasure in being far more crude. Well, it didn't use to be a family show, at least. I digress, Adam and Eddy are not at the top of their game anymore with such sloppy writing, and with their new show, I'm sure OUAT will receive less attention, thus less dedication, and with the appalling ratings, it's safe to say the show isn't in it's prime anymore. Focusing on CS and their 'epic' (I laugh uncontrollably as I spit out tea) love has tarnished the show and Emma, it's really p****ed me off. Once will be fine. It is still one of the best shows in its timeslot and ABC has a vested interest in it. Also, I'm finding your username a little ironic. I do love OUAT, I love it so much I become very critical of it sometimes, because I want it to return to it's original glory and become more amazing, which, right now, it is sorely lacking. In my opinion, it tries to hard to "reconnect" to its former glory that it ends up being worse off.

3b was to call back to season 1, 4b was suppose to go back to the core characters like season 1, 4b and 5a are to enlighten us about the past in season 1.

5x21 will likely follow suit of 3b as it does and---wait, I realized that Season 5 is just all the B seasons, lol. and yet it doesn't feel like what it used to be. I think their main problem is that they stopped thinking about the characters first. What I mean is that it feels like they don't ask themselves "How can the Underworld (or Frozen or Camelot etc..) help my character grow and evolve and develop?", and it feels like what they try to do is "How our characters fit into the Underworld (or Frozen or Camelot or the next new toys)" and that's why I feel like s4&5 are lacking something that made the show special in season 1-3. It was characters first and background distraction later. Nope, sorry but your viewing Season 1 through rose colored glasses. This show has always been about more than just the core cast character development. What did Cinderella add for the core cast? Hansel and Gretel? The Mad Hatter? The whole premise of the show is taking classic stories and reinturpeting them, and that is what the show has always done and will continue to do. In fact the title of the show alludes to this. Once upon a time is how stories, especially fairy tales, traditionally start. I think maybe your problem is you didn't understand what this show was trying to do. It was always going to be about introducing new characters and new stories, not just focusing on a group of five core characters.
