I always felt it was a strong direction with a couple of lows along the way up until 3x11. Then I felt the Wicked Witch, Snow Queen, QoD, were all just sidequests for the heroes and then they finally got on track again when facing the Darkness being the Ultimate Villain.

They could have done that arc heaps better but anyways. Having it finish with the ultimate sacrifice for the Saviour in 5A finale. I enjoyed the idea of the Underworld arc and it seemed like the next natural step after losing your true love. I love this arc only because we had closure on so many characters. Except Milah, Peter Pan and Robin Hood.

This new arc I feel like will be just another sidequest to the main plot which should be the ending by now since the big questions have been answered. Like the Dark One, Author and Book origins.

I always pictured the Final Battle would be against Fate since that seems to be the force that ultimately controls who has the happy endings and they easily could have connected that with the Underworld/Greek mythology arc. But seems that theory has gone down the drain.

I can't seem to work out what the main plot is anymore. But I do feel like it will also go back to Rumple since it was him who started all the events of season 1. I guess we just gotta keep watching.

Give me an ending already!
