Well, let's keep this positively oreinted......(I know I totally didn't), but yeah.

That's my view on cetrics. They are neat, tell us something new and are sometimes very well put together, but they totally are random in terms of output.

Example, Hook's first centric/ backstory in Season 3. It was decent,  and we learned somethings. However, that didn't really help at least my viewpoint of the character. Mostly because it was a bit rushed. So, that might be a poor example.

Exaple 2: Regina's centrics in 4b.....I love seeing the Evil Queen in her royal reglia and OTT-ness, but they were just atrocious in my opinion. They did no justice for Regina or Mal in 4x14. 4x20 showed a flaw of the flashback system aka sudden revelation or contrivance. Regina being infertile was cool to learn how it ocured, but it made her look stupid to learn something she learned hundreds of years ago (jk)by someone she didn't trust and abused her. Lol. Plus, it sort of took away a good focus on mothers by looking at an abusive one. Why not Mal as a kid or Snow or something?

Henry is fine. Even if he got worse (which is fairly impossible) he still does a decent job and I don't see him being replaced unless he became 8ft tall and 300 pounds and a voice so deep and grating, lol. Then he would be replaced.
