1. LWM was destroyed and then restarted. Showing that it progressed that far and then had to start anew. Not a bad thing, unless we wanted Caveman Carrie edition.

2. Looking at history, I can attest that some people are blinded by hatred and act in stupid ways. Plus, mankind destroyed all other traces of magic, minus the nymphs who hid among them. The nymphs (which I’m sure were all Gothel-powerful) were the ultimate pacifist because Flora’s “Let nature take its course”.)

3. Skip.

4. Gothel is using age-old metaphorical speech for “I want to awaken some witches”. She didn’t literally mean that the old Coven weren’t the Coven, but replaceable. I mean, she legit tossed Ivy down a well, I don’t think she cares about replacing them.

5. Nick did kill the Coven members. Eloise just recruited some more (and never got around to kill the top two of the Coven (plus an unknown)). He got sidetracked by Zelena. (Also, Nick never hosted a witch initiation so it’s not like he knows the average witch.)

6. Cameo. No, they should have told us what happened by everything points to her being stuck in that ball or if she came thru, dead.

7. Nope. I think the concept is lost here. Gothel wasn’t looking for specific witches, just powerful ones. She also was willing to replace witches because at the end of the day, she’s not friends with these people.

8. I agree with this nitpick. I don’t think Gothel could control Ana though as it would have ruined her plan (to take all of Ana’s magic).

9. Tie in with 8. I think that was just projection by the other characters. And some writer must have got lost a little. We knew that Gothel was powerful and immortal so I don’t think she was after the Dagger at any point. I mean, Eloise was in the same room as Ana and the Dagger and neither she nor Ivy grabbed it while the others were down.

For the rest. They cut scenes and stuff which at the end of the day hurt Eloise and plus, they felt the need to toss in some random macguffin episodes. Eloise did have access to very little magic early on and more from using the Ressurection Amulet (which can transfer magic). Plus, a lot of magic users are thought to be monsters in their backstories...and their thoughts were correct.
