Well, I do like to halt some trains of thought.

Once isn't anything tremendously terrible because it's outperforming other shows. Now, your opinion may vary, but I actually like season 5's story so far. It's not the best, but it's not terrible either. It's just in an awkward "how do I make this work" position.

I think the introduction of Frozen helped, but also hurt Once and then it didn't get much better, but I say this is a step up.

But that's off-topic to this episode, the episode was decent. It was faster pace, some better Snow and David moments we have seen, but it strayed a bit to the left with the Camelot flashbacks all being squished into one episode. Whereas I sort of dislike the inclusion of Frozen, they had the Frozen flashbacks spread out over 8 episodes, while they had Arthur's flashabcks over two episodes, and I think that'll be it for Lance/Gwen? Arthur's story.
