Yes but alfter season 3, every half season came and went to nowhere. It's like... there are not real consequences. Season 3B was the last one to actually have an impact on the main story of the show. But after that....

4A. Frozen characters? Gone. C onsequences? Already undone (Gold being  banished, Emma losing control over her powers)

4B. Queen of Darkness? Gone. C onsequences? Already undone (Emma going to the dark side)

5A. Camelot people? Gone. C onsequences? A lready undone (Emma being the Dark One. Rumple trying to be a hero. Hook's death)

5B. Underworld people? Gone. C onsequences? Robin's death. And he wasn't even that important.

The show is pretty much where it was at the end of 3x22.

So, yeah I do believe this is the final season because these characters are just stuck in the same place (especially Rumple).
