It's going to be filler flashbacks again! Maybe we could try using them to fill some old plot holes..." Yes, because establishing some much needed and long-speculated continuity is filler... Sort of....not really. Filler episodes are just episodes with little main plot development and establishing continuity is wonderful, but some of the flashbacks no matter how good are somewhat filler (like Regina's B-Day flashback which had little relevance on the plot, while okay on the character and continuity scale).
