I always prefer the fantastic to the mundane and they probably should have had more of that. After all, nigh all the important characters are already awake.

Objectively, season seven is fine. If someone were to watch straight from 7A to 7B, they wouldn’t be disappointed. I also agree about the present-day scenes, the flashbacks this season have not been very good and are very rushed. Wanted to clarify that I think 7x01 and 7B to have better present day scenes overall (not comparing to their flashbacks). I think the flashbacks have and still hold majority of my interest (though some are pretty random and shoddy).

1, 2, 4, (maybe 6 and 7), 9 of 7A had solid flashbacks. A lot of the present day (which I’m not comparing to their flashbacks) were plagued by the drip-drop of some plots and the “woke” Regina consuming where Hook left off. (I think those two always end up consuming the juicy storylines.) 7B’s flashbacks are sort of run of the mill “moral of the episode” Once.
