''KITSIS: I feel like that kind of got wrapped up in Camelot in a sense that she just did it to buy them time. She wasn’t actually the Savior. She was trying to prevent Emma from using Dark magic and letting Arthur [Liam Garrigan] know, because they didn’t want him to know what was up. I don’t think it was ever really anything than just that.

Then why they made it relevant in present time Storybrooke? Why Emma taunted Regina about protecting the town and retconing the fact that Regina was the town protector? Why retcon Regina's entire development over something that led to nothing? Kitsis is my favorite answerer because it's almost troll-worthy. That's why the finale was as off-puttin g as it was to wrap it up quickly and without must looking back.
