What was the extent of his powers, especially outside of imagination-fueled Neverland? How did the spinsters end up in possession of such an extraordinary and rare object as a magic bean? Why did they give it to a little child instead of selling it and becoming rich beyond their dreams? How come Mr. Gold was generally good-natured toward Henry for all S1 and the first half of S2, then WHOA, prophecy, must kill the brat? How did Tinkerbell end up in Neverland? Why didn't the Lost Boys kill her, since she was a useless and harmless grown up woman in an all-dangerous-boys club and they clearly had no qualms finishing Greg and Tamara off? Why did Pan let Baelfire go? I mean, if he knew he was to be Henry's father, then why did he keep kidnapping other boys? How did the Darlings know Henry was Henry when he was still an infant and therefore could not look anything like the drawing? What was Tamara's backstory (as much as I loathed her and wanted her dead ASAP)? Why did the Shadow go for Roland, considering there was no more need to kidnap boys as the Truest Believer was already there? How many more am I missing, as I haven't rewatched that arc since last year?

We could have had less Medusa, less fake-Excalibur, less Ariel and a few more answers about all of that, which looks like a bunch of plot points that happened just because the writers needed to forward the story that way, regardless of how much sense it made. No wonder they were so quick to basically restore the show from disk and throw us a mystery storyline to take away our attention from all that mess.
