It's just so magical to watch Emma fighting for her parents and getting the Princess Treatment. The Price of Gold, because we see hints at Emma's past and watch her fight for Ella, plus I love how they used Cinderella. The Song In Your Heart, I love musicals and I cannot help but smile when it's on. It shows such development for Emma as well. Lost Girl-Again some great development for Emma and paralleling her with Snow. The Other Shoe-I think of this as a sequel to The Price of Gold and its great to watch the CSB family unit working together. Worst episodes: Breaking Glass (yay an hour of verbal abuse and Emma being treated badly for saving a person's life:/)  Broken Heart (complete ooc character assassination of Killian for shock value)  ha they both have some variation of the word "broken" in there, funny. The season 5 finale (We have had enough of Regina whining about how hard her life is and now she whines about not being able to kill people while Emma just sits there and then she gets to tkae the easy way out). I'll Be Your Mirror (just more Regina whitewashing and Regal Believer glorification) Wish You Were Here (or as I like to call it "Adam and Eddy Hate Abuse Victims". The most blatant character assassination of Emma and promoting the victim blaming message that "abuse makes you strong", having Emma thank Regina for torturing her and then Belle blames herself for Rumple's abuse and goes running back to him. This episode actually caused me physical pain when I watched it)   I don't think your list of favorites is biased, everyone has preferences, but it sure sounds like your list of worst episodes is biased, because it seems very Pro-CS and anti-SwanQueen and Anti-Regina. I haven't read your other posts but I assume these are your opinions about the couples and characters. Well I mean everyone's worst episodes lists will be biased. Hook haters will obviously have Hook-centric episdeos as their least favourites.

I don't hate those episodes because they lack CS (except for 6x10 but that's another post) I hate them because of how badly they treat Emma. As an Emma fan, I am going to dislike episodes that are bad for her character.
