I think the big theme was redemption. Because both 3A and 3B focused on the redemption of the main villains of season 1. Gold's redemption happened more towards the end of 3A, when he sacrificed himself to save everyone. 3B focused more on Regina's redemption even though she redeemed herself in 3A. Let's all admit that she showed just how much she has changed by the end of 3B, when she wielded light magic. Gold however reverted back to his old ways after being revived, but still the end of 3A showed just how much progress both characters have made. What are your guys' thoughts on this?
