Yah tbh the Neverland arc was not as bad as people suggest, there was a lot of good stuff there. My least favorite arc was the second half of season three, mainly because I just don't like Zelena

I disagree, this half-season was pretty good. The main problem was trying to cram in way too much shit (Dark Swan, Dark Hook, two timelines of people learning things and going through events all over again, the useless Meirda episodes, Camelot and evil Arthur, Merlin's backstory, pointless Zelena drama, Rumple…

The Dwarves were marked though…does this mean the dwarves are more important than Belle now?

Hades in the movie was funny though, at least hopefully we'd get a bit of humor

Can Zelena actually do that? Her tethering Robin to a shoe and making him the Dark One would be hilarious

Yah that line was COLD. Rarely does this show let its characters, especially ones who are usually shown as good guys, spew such awful things

I don't find the referential humor bothersome at all. Its a bit tongue-and-cheek, but still funny. I guess it just comes down to personal preference.

Well considering Fergus refers to Arthur's army as "the southern invaders", I think they're going for an England-Scotland relationship geographically

It literally took me half the episode to figure out who Merida's mother was supposed to be. Slapping your actress in a black wig is not enough to show the resemblance guys

I actually agree. It started out really dumb (I literally cackled when the witch said she would turn everyone in the kingdom into bears) but it actually ended up being rather interesting, definitely more so than the first Brave episode.

Lol I dropped this show for a while and I also watch it through Netflix so I often forget how old everyone else's comments are. And I actually agree with you about his story being rinsed and repeated, although I didn't think it was a problem until season 4

Oh lol I think I remember that episode. One of many pointless flashback stories

That's just Netflix. Most tv networks still do either 13 or 24 episode runs, with 13 being the shorter, rarer option. Netflix never does more than 13 episodes in one season, probably due to the fact they release everything all at once and filming 24 episodes to release on the same day just isn't practical from a…

I wouldn't say the tone ever really lightens because, as I'm sure you've realized, the dark aspects are part of the point. I'd say try watching it in a better mood, and if you still don't like it, then just do as the title song says and "look away"

Vile Village is my favorite too. I'm so excited for that one and also the inclusion of Esme Squalor, one of the best villians in the series

Yah I don't understand why she suddenly is using dream catchers and ripping out girls hearts. It definitely feels like we're missing a plotline or two. Which is weird because this show usually drags stuff out for at least two episodes longer than needed

That scene was basically a role reversal of a season one scene. Emma's the "villian" wanting to connect with her daughter, Regina's the good guy trying to shut Emma down and help her son. And it's all played out on Regina's doorstep, just like many of their confrontations in season 1. It's actually pretty clever, by…

Oh god that's like the worst possible thing this show could do

I actually found season 4 to be the best since one. This is still pretty good, but feels like a step down

Well I'm assuming it is bravery and honor, because when Arthur first pulled it out, he had those things.
