I think the arc is good so far, they definitly seem back on track after Frozen basically upset all of season 4 and any big plans they had for the show as a whole. And yes, we are not going to get as indepth in Arthurian Legend as we could. It is so vast, we could have a whole spin off and not have everything covered. I'm actually impressed with how much stuff they are managing to work in from the legends honestly. Besides the decent plot and action, look at the characters. Shall we?

Emma: In flashback is going through something. In present, ......I have no clue.

Regina, Robin, Zelena, Belle: Nothing

David: Hero stuff

Hook: Angst

Snow: Was doing something before she got sanded

Gwen, Lance: Nothing

Arthur: Well-intentioned king driven to madness.

So, that's 6-6.5 out of 10 characters doing nothing in terms of character development or anything. I think the problem lies with the characters besides some tired plot twists, like memory loss.

Now, watching it, I'm having a fun time as always. Thinking it over is where I enjoy it less. And if I have to not think about the show to enjoy it, then that's not any good.
