Actually, the vote began at the end of March so after the winter break and after Adam's first tweet saying it was 2 episodes. ABC said two episodes on his official website, but one episode on his press website which is our first source because of the press releases. Hulu, iTunes, etc... do not count for us. They are a third part, which just air continually the season. They have no word on the episodes.

Now, something I would like to explain. I began this thread the first day of February during the winter break: http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:197059 where I was clearly showing that Adam said 2 episodes (408a and 408b) + 23 episodes for the season (now that's the vision we adopted too because we have to thanks to the episode counter, because 511 = Spring premiere = 100th)

And, as I told you, the final vote began in March; then people voted during the whole month of April + end of the vote at the beginning of July, so our current month. What does it mean? People knew what Adam was saying about the episode, they knew it was 2 episodes and they knew it was 408A/B. And what they did? Even with that, they chose to vote "don't split".

I saw an unboxing of the DVDs for S4, where we can see the DVDs says the season has 23 episodes. But, we also say it has 23 episodes, we also say STM is two episodes. We recently chose a new intro to reflect our new way to think about it. That's why the DVDs will not help us. That's not like we are blocked in a idea like "S4 is 22 episodes". Just look STM page and S4 page. We clearly say it is two episodes and S4 has 23 episodes.

The only problem there is splitting or not STM. And, even by knowing STM was 2 episodes, people chose "don't split". So yeah, I think it would be time to let it go.
