To be fair, there was a lot of hate before the season had even started. I have the same viewpoint of S7 as @Beekee. To me, S1-6 is the main story, and S7 is an enjoyable, bonus epilogue season. I think the the reason most people were annoyed that it didn't end at S6, was because they felt the series had come to a natural end, and the scene with older Henry and Lucy, was made, for the setup of S7, and didn't need to be there (though Im glad it was).

The cast departures were another major factor. I love the new characters of S7, and I get why they thought it was time to retire Snowing, but I wish they hadn't removed Zelena and Belle (but I loved Belle's closing story).

While I have loved this season, there are people who don't enjoy, not because of the reasons stated before the series aired, but because they may not like the quality of the series anymore, which is fair - to each their own.
