And I think 21/22 is more accurately a Gideon/Saviorology-filled finale since we don't know if the Black Fairy will even be in 622 but we do know that Emma and Gideon will be fighting again (which, given recent revelations, is probably related to the Black Fairy, but again, we'll see)

I just really, really hope this doesn't screw with the pacing and throw the season's second half off. It's coming back stronger than ever and this is taking a big risk. Hopefully it will have been worth it. I really don't understand this kind of logic? I mean, I don't really ship Captain Swan (I don't dislike it, but I really just don't care) but I like the show, so I'm going to watch whatever it throws at me. But there are an awful lot of fans who refuse to watch bits and pieces just because something they don't like is featured or something they do like isn't. Even in shows where I do like specific shippings or characters over others, I'm not going to watch the show at all if there's only one thing that makes me interested in it.

Because of the CaptainSwan overload and questionable writing from last season, I've actually watched the show less (missed a bunch of episodes in a row) but I still see every episode just in case there is something important. I wouldn't want to miss big things worth caring about, especially since this half has been really on point with the exception of A Wondrous Place but even that was more tolerable than I expected.

And it's not that I loathe CaptainSwan, but they are far from having my support. If the show wasn't bent for them and characters weren't killed off both literally and internally for them, maybe I'd care more but it's gotten to the level that I tune out whenever they have another scene of ecstasy or angst.

I also intend on watching the show till the end whether that be next month or a year from now.
