Anyone else feel like the show is going backwards—season wise at least? S5 (both A and B) had some serious S3A and B overtones and now S6A is set up like S2B. So is 6B going to look like 2A–maybe this time Charming and Emma get trapped in the EF and have to battle someone in order to get back home? There’s an awful lot of plot that got forsaken in 2 once NVL happened.
Strangely i see more Season 2 and 3 combined (Which is said since i liked the Neverland stuff) but the writers feel like they wanted to do the King Arthur stuff but then changed their minds last minute and do the underworld stuff next. Because I at least liked the Underworld stuff more than the Camelot stuff …at least in terms of the Season alone….Some of the Season now in terms of a “Overlasting Arc” (And i use the term very loosely) will feel more like filler in the long run, only to retroactively be tied into one another (Like how Cora got her end in Season 5 ) so if there is a FinalBattle between everyone and Rumple…again…it will feel retroactive and not part of a cohesive narrative.
