The thing is, I feel that the overall quality of show degraded from season 4. It was disappointing.

But exclusively blaming Captain Swan for it is hardly fair. I found every ship annoying in season 4. Which is why I put blame on the writers instead of the characters.

I find it unfair to go and shout CS ruined OUaT just because you don't like the ship. Say trying to carry on love stories which had reached a dead end ruined OUaT, I'll agree. Say putting too much focus on a few characters ruined OUaT, I'll agree. But blaming a ship for regression in character personality, when it had been something common in majority of characters related or unrelated to the ship, is something I won't agree with.
