They all weak with the main villain always being defeated way too easily, and this was made painfully aware to me with the way they defeated Hades last season. I agree, this is why every season finale since season 3B felt anticlimactic. The villains are defeated by some random object they have recently invented according to the rules they have just made and then it's a two-hour filler episode. Well, Ingrid was pretty much defeated by Chekov's gun and herself, essentially.

I would be upset with Fiona's defeat, only because she never got to use her wand except once. At least, they should have had Fiona put up a small fight, even if she lost and maybe add a little quip from Rumple about choosing power over love, or something.

Emma's defeat was sort of worse. Well, the post defeat. I liked the random speech and sacrifice. I can even ignore TLK and chalk it up to Emma being in magic limbo (since Rumple has laready said that magic can't be destroyed). I thought Snow's speech on hope to be too wordy. Better yet, it went:

- Emma's stabbed and Gideon randomly fades away.

- Emma is awoken.

- Snow gives some forced hope speech that was her worst one yet. Like give me cringy Henry's speech about belief. Emma should have given that speech, even. It was as if they wanted each pair to have somebody....then a random lone David and lone Henry.
