Well, Frozen arc did put a hold on Marian stuff, since she would have stepped aside and there would be no need for what if. Most of the core characters were on hold and only Rumple and Belle did something and not many liked Rumple's characterization as "1-D evil". Emma once again accepted her powers, (which she did in the season three finale), Hook was keeping secrets again, Snow, Charming, and Will were in the background. It is without dispute that Elsa and Anna took up most of the screentime/ effort. CGI troll looked better than the rest of the CGI before and in 4b. Frozen stuff could not be changed and you have probably enough material to make a miniseries of Once: Frozen from all their scenes. Sure, it went down as the season progressed but it still was quite a bit much. It was almost Frozen flashbacks, Frozen current, and then Once stuff filling the gaps. I loved it as it progressed and Ingrid was a fantastic villain who didn't really need Frozen in the end.
