Well, you know that I stopped watching mid s4 and nothing I heard since has induced me to go back. I maintain the s3 finale would have been the perfect show finale (minus the cliffhanger and the "Marion" subplot, of course). An argument can also be mad for the s3 mid season finale, especially for Rumple fans, because that was his perfect ending, but I think Regina's storyline is more central, and her development in the second half of the third season is too important to miss, plus the s3 finale brings things full circle with the s1 finale, with the Regina-Henry-Emma relationship. (And before that, with the Snow-Regina relationship in the last but one episode with Cora's ghost.)

I'm not surprised Jennifer Morrison and Robert Carlyle come across as tired now - like I said, anything post mid s3 for Rumple felt repetitive, and having come to terms with her abandonment issues and both her found and biological family at the end of s3, the same's probably true for Emma.

But we'll always have s1 - 3. And yes, the attention to detail in s1 was amazing.
