The entire fandom adored 3.11 for that very reason. I loved 3x11 because it was a good episode, not because it was bittersweet. For me, a bittersweet episode is a terrible way to end the show because it goes against everything this show is about: hope and happy endings. If EVERYONE gets a happy ending it's not a good story. Why? Why does someone have to be unhappy to be a good story? Becuase variety? And not being a predictable ending mostly... This show is centered around fairy tales. If any show should have a predictable cliche happy ending, it should be this show. The writers said "this is a show about hope, but if everything goes so well, why do they need hope?". It doesn't have to be a clichè show with a clichè ending. It doesn't have to be, no, but I don't think that means we need a bittersweet ending, where someone is screwed over, either. That's just how you interpret it, your point of view, but Emma sacrificing herself to give everyone a happy ending is a very honorable end to her character journey. It's not being screwed over.
