The first half was excellent, and while the second half was messier, the characters remained realistic, consistent and with clear motivation, to me characters > plot, something that season 6 in my opinion lacks (it has messy plot/storylines + messy characters). I absolutely hated S2, and thought the entire thing was a mess. Some of the individual episodes were good, but as a whole it was a disaster. Yeah, s2 was a mess, but weren't all the seasons (except season 1)? IDK, I like season 2 because Cora was a great villain which gave us insights on Regina and Rumple, I liked Rumple's son storyline coming to its climax, the revelation that he's Henry's father (fate and all...), there are more good episodes than bad episodes, Emma Swan was still a character, dealing with the aftermath of the curse, etc... Even though season 2 was a mess, there were a lot of great moments which came from the characters themselves and the season with the best characters development (maybe except season 3A).

The worst seasons in my opinion were season 5 (5A + 5B) and 3B (mainly because they didn't treat Emma as the main protagonist) and they just make me angry. While I don't have high opinions on season 4 and season 6, the latter is just boring but it didn't do anything special to make me mad and the former is at least entertaining. Sorry for this but I can't not comment on this.

Emma had by far the most screentime, focus (I can get you objective data on this if you wish) and development in 5A, how was she not treated like a main protagonist?
