I hate how they whitewashed Rumple with the Dark One shown as some sort of 'demonic possession' eg. Showing Emma unwillingly choke Merlin. It took away a lot of the complexity of his character (though  I do give them props for showing Rumple as a full blown power addict).

The arc had potential to help fix the Charmings' issues and yet added more problems with them neglecting Emma.

Robin being made to trust his rapist then getting thrown under the bus and killed while his rapist gets custody of his daughter.

And of course there was the bad writing for CS; the Dark Hook fiasco that had no proper pay off and the roof jumping, displaying the writers' lack of abuse issues.
