There was a chemistry there that has been missing since, well, season 3. The showrunners made a big mistake getting rid of Neal (and Baelfire). Hopefully, Rumple will get a lot of time this half season. Carlyle and Parilla are the best things in OUAT. The EQ scenes and story were great. Less Captain Swan, more Rumple and Regina. Please. Too much of a bad thing (Captain Swan) is just a lot of bad things. The showrunner’s allegiance to Captain Swan, one of the most trite, useless, boring romances (if you can call it that) on television is puzzling. It is also responsible for turning a once great show into a miss-able, often unwatchable mess.
