What annoys me the most is that they set the theme of the season as redemption and forgot about it. They had an excellent opportunity to show that with August. Regina's failed redemption versus the hard road toward his. As if one act of standing up against Tamara is enough. He started off well: helped Emma in Storybrooke, sent Neal the card etc. He could have done so much more.

The "happy ending" that he had was the most selffish and cowardly of all: he will not even remember the mistakes that he made. He gets a second chance of life but the consequences of his actions remain. He should have been able to repair them. That is true redemption.
