I enjoy the 'recap' shows that are shown at the beginning, but that is really all they are is recap, meant to bring potential new viewers up to speed on the basics of the characters. Although, their scene selection for the recap show could give some insight into what elements from the past seasons might come into play in the current season. But I don't look for too much in the way of spoilage from the recap.

As for the 'trainwreck'. that was more than just 5x11. the train derailed around 5x8 when Emma turned Killian into the second dark one, and with the exception of "The Bear King", it continued through the rest of the first half. (The Bear King was a distraction to keep us from seeing the full extent of the beginning of the trainwreck).
