His victory dance was adorable :DDD TBH the ONLY reason I tolerate the prosecutor is because i know her bitch ass will be dead soon :D Asher is really warming up to me this season.

I've only seen the first ep so far, and what I'm reading I'm glad I decided not watch them back-to-back. I thought the CS scenes from "Birth" were cute individually but I was really starting to feel smothered by all the fluff. The Dark Hook twist at the end though was actually very well-done. I knew something was up when we never saw Emma's name on Excalibur/DO Dagger once they were reunited. A surprise I never saw coming this season was actually enjoying Zelena. Her ever-present snark and partnership with Arthur and Hook of all people is what made this episode refreshing amidst the CS love-fest. Also her outfit change in both timelines was fire lol. Was not a fan of Emma's lack of reaction to Snow getting strangled and rushing to heal her BF's little owie afterwards. Dr. Whale was great, and MindRumple mocking Merlin's accent was everything.

Thank you all for your replies! I totally understand your frustration with this show and its writers because, you know, its THIS SHOW. I've personally decided to move past season 4 since I've realized it might actually be hazardous to my health to dwell on that mess of a season. I just try to blame the writers more for character's crappy life choices because honestly it they can do it, so can I. I also think that somewhere between the season hiatus A&E must have FINALLY had that Come To Jesus Moment because Season 5 is IMO the best we've seen since Early Season 2.

So I just wanted to start by saying I've been reading these forums for a while now, but this is my first time posting. I started looking into these threads towards the end of The Season That Shall Not Be Named (season 4) because I was honestly starting to question my commitment to the show. The posts and comments I saw from rabid shippers across the fandom online were certainly not helping. And then I discovered the Previously TV forums! Seriously, the wit, humor, and respectfulness of this forum made last season a lot easier to swallow. With that being said, I've noticed that most of the comments from this season mostly Hail Captain Swan, and basically piss on everyone else, especially Regina (And A&E). I remember being so amused by everyone's comments last year, mainly mocking the show's storylines and wonky storytelling, but now all I see is unadulterated loathing for Regina, Rumple, and everyone who isn't Hook or Emma.
