Whenever I watch the scene where she tells Zelena she has the love of the people, I laugh because not only does it sound ridiculous, she barely knows them. Dare I say, Dorothy was one of the most pointless and unlikeable characters ever, on ''OUaT? ''She seriously gave Merida a run for the money, in that department. For me, Greg and Maurice were actually closer in that department but agreed on Dorothy basically being the biggest waste of screen time for the show. I get what they were going for: badass warrior of Oz, but it steps from a basic trope in fantasy followed by another repeat of Alice's story with people thinking she's insane.

As for Merida, I didn't mind her but do think she took away from the big storyline and though Camelot wasn't perfect, maybe not giving her such a huge role would've helped. Even then, S5 felt messy.

But I think this season has been an improvement. The first four episodes of this second half, tonight's, and some from the first half definitely feel like S1 again which does make me think this is really the end. And even if it is for the show in all its glory, I'd be okay. Because if it went off as great as it started, that would be perfect.
