Gnattygan, please use smaller paragraphs to alleveiate the wall of text it creates. But otherwise, this debate has ended. I see what you are saying Eskaver. The First three seasons seem to have one unique plotline. Season 1: break the curse and believe season 2: Magic is coming season 3: Where Emma still struggles about being an orphan and finds a home. Yes, themes carry over, but the story line changes. Even if they search for Emma, it will still be a 5a arc and so will searching for Merlin. However, 5b might be saving Emma from the Darkness and finding ways to banish or kill it.

It won't be a big one long season like 1 or 2 which just had a random break and the story just continued as if nothing happened.
