I liked the Frozen characters despite not being obsessed with the movie. Honestly I was expecting to enjoy 4B way more than 4A, but it just didn't happen for me. I thought 4B was a mess. 4A might be filler, but at least it's somewhat consistent and enjoyable filler... in my opinion anyway. Yes, Ingrid and their take on The Snow Queen story is definitly a highlight for 4A, and 4B did have the issue of trying to do too much at once, but at the end of the day, when watching the finished series as a whole, 4A is going to stick out like a sore thumb, because it is so random and disconected from everything else. It doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable to watch, and depending on how long the show goes, we may eventually get another half season filler, so it may not stick out as much as it does now. They can also make it fit in better, by working Ingrid into another flashback somewhere, so at least one of the characters from the arc is seen in another arc. I really hope they do. I would only assume that 4b was a mess because of 4a. That's what happens when you try to insert something and not change the rest (imo). Ingrid was great, sure, but 4a will seem to stay there and never stretch across the seasons. We see call backs to season 1, 2 (with Cora), 3 (with Zelena and curses), 4b (with the Darkness), 4a..............Ingrid, who? I mean, Emma could have at least thought about her time with her or something.
