Are you saying 26 minutes of screentime that is solely Emma and Hook on screen? Because that's not really fair to count only that. Everything that deals with Emma and Hook's relationship should count as their screentime. Hook being worried Emma will be mad at him for killing David's father is Emma and Hook related. Emma trying on a wedding dress is Emma and Hook related. So it isn't fair to tell people that only 26 minutes focus on Emma and Hook, when from a plot perspective, that's clearly not the case. Yeah, 26 minutes where they are involved with each other, even if that isn't the main focus.

CS were turned into a plot device in 6b for the BF plot, so they were used to further someone else's arc, no the other way around.

And I repeat, even if s6 was focussed on CS, how would that be bad or unusual? Remember s1 when pretty much everything revolved around Snowing? I'm not complaining that Emma and Hook got focus in Season 6, I agree with your point that Emma was the main character of the first six seasons, so it makes sense her ending is a fairytale one (i.e. getting married to a man). I'm just saying you can't say they only had 26 minutes of focus in Season 6, because it just doesn't hold water. Also, I wouldn't say all the wedding planning, the proposal, the venue scouting, etc. had something to do with the Black Fairy or her plot. That was all clearly set up for the wedding (which again, I'm not aganist, I expected it to happen) of Emma and Hook. Basically, I disagree with saying they only had 26 minutes of focus in Season 6. I'd say they did have quite a bit of focus (at least 2 hours over the whole season), but that the focus is justified.
