I mean you have three basic rules of magic that can't be broken, except sometimes they can under certain conditions. Yeah, they really do, and it's really gotten worse this season. Indeed... I'll accept any rules they give us as long as they stick to em. What's the point of even having rules if they can just be broken so willy-nilly? Best example, Regina used magic to bring David back to life when Snow crushed his heart. In this case, Regina\Snow acted quickly enough to split Snow's heart in half, and put half of it back into David. That's the kind of crap we're talking about. THAT is the exact definition of playing hard and fast with the rules. She crushed his heart. He died. Magic brought him back. If even one other time in the history of the show they had shown or implied there was some sort of "time limit" on being able to fix a crushed broken heart, that'd be different. This is just a violation of their own rules and a deus ex machina, the ultimate sign of lazy writing.

I agree, it is a sign of lazy writing. Sad and unfortunate, but true :/ From what I've remembered, what Snow said to Regina, the (writers') reason why Snow's heart can be split into two was that, because of the sleeping curse, it made David and Snow's heart as "one". So maybe he's still not considered "dead" because of Snow crushing his heart, because Snow is still alive and Snow's heart is his heart too. I just don't know if that it was really explained during Season1 (I think?) that the sleeping curse or breaking that really made their heart ONE. Regina can't do that to Daniel since they were not under the curse or broke the curse. Well that made me somehow satisfied haha.
