For me it's:

1 > 2 > 4A > 3A > 5B > 3B > 4B > 5A

Season 1 and 2 are the best obviously. They're the ones that hooked me and many others into the show in the first place and also have the best storylines.

Contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed the Frozen arc. Was it flawed? defiantly. Was it boring? Sometimes yes. It should have been darker and twist Frozen around to seem original and that's why it's third. But I enjoyed it anyway. I liked how they integrated Frozen with the Snow Queen and the portrayals of the Frozen gang, while copy and paste, were fun to watch. With 3b I really liked the Pan storyline. I loved the rendition of the Little Mermaid and Peter Pan is one of my top favourite characters. However, some storylines were dull and dragged a lot which brings it down.

5b and 3b were 50/50 for me. The good episode were dotted around the arc and the rest were utter terrible (cough The Tower cough). Zelena was a good villain at the time but I wish they would have explored Oz more. 5b was excellent for the first five or so episodes and then slowed down for the rest and peaked again with the finale. Bringing back dead characters was great but it suffered from rushed storylines (Ruby Slippers for example) and way too much Captain Swan.

4b and 5a were straight up terrible. 4b was trying to cram in way too much for anyone to be left satisfied. The QOD seems like a good idea but not for an eleven episode arc. Plus the return of Zelena AND the whole author thing was just so much. 5a was the worst because it was both boring and filled with bad ideas. Merlin was wasted and then killed off for no reason. Arthur was an awful villain and the whole Camelot storyline was just thrown away. Merida didn't add anything and Dark Swan was such a letdown.
