I know what you're talking about, but I don't feel it the same way about those examples. However, the one example I find most jarring is flashback Rumple's. Sometimes he is written as a crazy monstrous creature-like being, and sometimes as a funny but composed guy. Sometimes it is consistent with Rumple's timeline and evolution throughout the centuries, but sometimes he seems just ridiculously sane. Give me back crazy beast rumple.

Zelena and Regina's relationship is more realistic like it is actually. At least to people like me, having a sibling of around the same age as me and with a similar kind of relationship, jumping from cooperativity and friendliness through unwilling snarkiness to unforgiving grudges that don't last more than a couple of days.

About the experiments thing, I think it goes like (from worst to best experiment, not taking into consideration my opinion about the specific arcs themselves).
 * Season Three - two distinct arcs with little to no connection.
 * Season Four- two distinct arcs with overarching mini arcs (the Sorcerer/Apprentice, Lily)
 * Season Five- two distinct arcs with better executed overarching mini arcs (Greek Mythology, Merida, RubyMulan)
 * Season Two - mini and not so mini arcs spread throughout 22 eps.
 * Season Six - mini and not so mini arcs better spread throughout 22 eps.
 * Wonderland - two distinct parts of a single main arc.
 * Season One - a solid 22 episode arc.
 * For the sake of rankings, my personal opinion goes like this 1 > 2 > 6 > W > 4A > 3AB > 5B > 4B

PS: Zelena is a casual person with nothing better to do!
