1. 3B (New York City Serendade to the Finale) 9/10

I felt like Season 3 really amped up the stakes as a whole, and the most character development was also set here. Other than Zelena's occasional annoyances, it was intriguing from beginning to end.

2. 1A (Pilot to Skin Deep) 8.5/10

Introduced us to the show, and was very phenomenal, with the exception of a few episodes that were rather dull fillers, but as a whole, what captured me in the first place.

3. 1B (What Happened to Frederick to the Finale) 8.5/10

The second half of season one takes a darker turn and begins peppering the story with twists and turns in its final act, and I only was disappointed with few episodes.

4. 2A (Broken to The Miller's Daughter) 8.5/10

Strongly written, capturing the magic of the first season while being able to stand itself as a great, creative season.

5. 3A (Heart of the Truest Believer to Going Home) 8/10

It had a great streamlined story, the characters and plot were complex and well-developed with subtle dark undertones coupled with intensity. Other than the ugly cinematography, this was pretty great.

6. Wonderland Part II (Home to Finale) 7.5/10

This show needed time to grow and it delivered once that was possible in its second half, where the story is wrapped up neatly.

7. 4A (A Tale of Two Sisters to Shattered Sight) 7/10

Other than over-campiness and the unusually uncreative costume design, this was a good half-season with pleasant special effects. I have a lot of little flaws and qualms with it, however, that detract from its melancholy story.

8. 2B (Welcome to Storybrooke to Finale)

Not as interesting as the first half, but streamlined well.

9. 5A (The Dark Swan to Swan Song) 6.25/10

I felt like nothing was really achieved over the course of this arc, but there were some amazing episodes, but unfortunately they were balanced out with horrible ones as well. I was very excited for this one too.

10. 6A (The Savior to Wish You Were Here) 6.25/10

The main plot and character dynamics of this season were horrible, but I felt that The Other Shoe, Wish You Were Here and Heartless were undeserving of this arc.

11. Wonderland Part I (Down the Rabbit Hole to Bad Blood) 6.25/10

A slightly disappointing opener, and was cliche.

12. 5B (Souls of the Departed to the Finale) 6.25/10

The continuity and overall quality of the show took a step down during Season 4, and this arc failed to capture my attention.

13. 4B (Heroes and Villains to the Finale) 6/10

Other than the finale last two episodes, Sympathy for the De Vil, and Lily, as well as possibly Heart of Gold, the other six episodes outweigh this in its poorness of writing.

Season Ranking (as a whole)

3 + 1 2 Wonderland 4 5

6B is great so far with the exception of two episodes - Ill Boding Patterns and A Wondrous Place, will probably end up higher up depending on the last few episodes.
