Either way, to me the true Emma, Regina, Rumple, Belle, Snow, Charming, and Henry will be from S1-S3A. That was the real OUAT to me. 3B to present is such a disgrace that it doesn't even deserve to be considered canon. It's Once Upon a Mockery now. The actors are all fantastic, but at this point they are all beautiful wasted potential. I keep watching with hopes for something better and progressive, but everyone either regresses or stagnates. I just wish it would get cancelled, so that most of fans could just move on with our lives, and stop getting insulted with lies and false hope. Well, agreeing on your first part., but 3b wasn't that bad, just the start to something bad.

The show has plenty of fans that actually want to watch. I am one that gets caught in the hype and end up being disappointed, but it has more to do with the lost potential and even more or less due to Eddy and Adam being decent to fantastic writers (and some others), but I think what goes on in their head doesn't match what ends up onscreen. It's a bias that we all tend to have.

3b, 4b, and 5a aren't actually bad in just horrific, because they obviously had good episodes in them. It's simply that they are sometimes in over their heads trying to squeeze things down  and end up with balancing issues.

Anyway, no more talk about Once the show, but the topic of this thread.
