-The LWM "thousands of years ago" looked the 1800s. I agree. I don't like this, it is just...dumb. This could ahve been remedied by just saying she wiped out a city or kingdom and not the whole world and moved the time around. I didn't see any need to go back that far and then have that kind of setting. It will be something I mostly ignore> So millions of years of evolution happened in a few thousand years and recreated all the different ethnicities twice? Or did God recreate man or something? The whole thing was unnecessary and I won't lie, hurt my enjoyment for the season as a whole. Possibly the worst addition to the whole show the way it was done. So many other ways to ahndle it and they pretty much threw this together. It makes me think the writers for that part are similar to the "Is the Moon a star or a planet?" argument on Youtube.

-The mean girls find out Gothel has magic and they decide the wisest thing to do is to bully her. This part doesn't bother me as bad, though it was definitely short sighted on Isla's part. I feel like it was too brief, too simplified and not acted out well.

-Jacinda said to Henry Lucy took the glass slipper went "I don't know where". Jacinda has a lot of issues as a parent. I'm not surprised that Victoria took custody so easily. But that's not my business!

'''-What was the point of Dr Sage and Hilda? ''' The point was there was no point. More dead plot lines that one person had ideas for but everyone else abandoned. This sort of worked in Season 1 with random people. But by this point they know we want explanations for everyone and we want some semblance of a coherent plot. I feel they had a lot of this stuff thrown in, realized they had to wrap it up and just left stuff without any real focus. Henry's notes are a good description of this season: Who are they? What's going on?!! (I love this season, by the way. I do)

-'''Then what was the point of the Candy Killer storyline? ''' Another plot that went no where. It's so frustrating they wasted time with this when the time dedicated to it could have been spent exploring Henry and Cinderella's relationship or any of the other plots that need resolved.

'''-What was the point of Madame Leota? ''' Pretty much the same, but at least this was more of a cameo appearance part of a larger plot. I've been pretty sure since the mid season premier that Leota was dead and never revived. Robin was her only chance, maybe. For me she was a one shot character anyway.

'''No comment. XD'''

'''-Gothel can hypnotize people now. Why didn't she use that with Anastasia and Drizella in 7x15?''' Hmmm, maybe it had to do with the end results? Pretty sure it was just made up for this episode, but who knows?

Same

-Gothel wants to protect the witches, but she herself got a lot of witches killed in 7x15. I have no idea. It seems inconsistent at this point. Was the Mother Nature thing even endgame during the first half of the season? I am beginning to think it was made up as they went.

Same

-The curse is not broken yet but it seems Gothel can freely use magic with the hypnotizing thing and the ritual at the end. I kind of feel like it was an almost "Poison Ivy" type thing. Maybe pheromones mixed with a bit of magic and suggestion.

-Gothel whole storyline is very similar to Ingrid's.  I see the resemblance but I think Ingrid was different enough to justify it being two different stories. I don't hate Gothel's story, just how it was implemented and so messy.
