I have enjoyed the new takes (or in The Frog Prince's case the first take) on these classic stories, and I think they did a good job making sure to not make things too similar to previous iterations. I think the only major problem for me is that the writers have seemingly given up on characters ages. The characters are basically as old or as young as they need them to be, with only a few attempts to explain things (Rumple and Belle living at the edge of realms, Drizella frozen as a statue, etc.). I feel like it is fine if the writers wanted to have the characters at certain ages, but they needed to figure out and explain better which realms were moving at what speed and such. That being said, I am still enjoying this season. It's like Regina said, "I'm not here to talk about timelines." Also didn't they say they were going to explain why Henry was older than everyone else, which they never did. I'm mean sure, you could guess that he spent time in realms with different passages of time, but still, that's not the same thing as explaining. Heck aside from Regina no one seemed surprised to see an adult henry!
