I do have to say... the CGI has gotten worse and while it's not necessarily something that would make me stop watching, it has contributed to my dislike of this season. It's cringe worthy bad... and with other shows on the same network (Like Agents of Shield), that have almost impecable CGI/SFX, they really don't have an excuse.

The writing has disappointed me this season as well. It's been lazy, inconsistent and confusing, lacking in continuity and the dialogue has gone down into the cheesy levels. So many good characters have been treated as props for puns, and so much of the "intensity" is tainted by rushed, predictable feel.

I love OuaT and I'm gonna see it through - if only because I hate leaving a show I've watched from the beginning... But it doesn't feel like the same show as Season 1.... or even Season 2. I feel like there's too many characters, too many storylines to focus on and not enough of  juxtapostion between the Flashbacks and Present plots. I'm excited about Neverland and Peter Pan, but I almost feel like he's such an afterthought that all we've seen of him has been his near cartoonish misbehaving. I adore Ariel, I really do... but I would gladly sacrifice her storyline for more of an in depth look into the characters we've already seem. I'm glad we finally got to Hook's back story, but it just felt so hurried.

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I've been trying to get into the show this season, and I just can't...
