Still, I prefer when they put too much stuff, instead of not having much like in season 2B, where they had 4 filler episodes non-stop.

Agreed that Dark Swan is too much of a big thing, it will be rushed if it is only in 10 episodes, considering Emma is not even evil in all of them. All those subplots in season 4B were, in fact, "sub" plots, even the Queens of Darkness weren't all that big of a threat, they were in because the arc was about "villains in search of their happy endings", the big bad was still Rumple. The only big plot was the quest for the Author, which went on during the full season.
