I despise several things they have done with the show.. but getting enraged over fossil evidence in a show about magic and "real" fairytales seems a little odd and over the top to me. Even without fossil evidence, the whole notion of what was presented in that flashback was stupid. Anyone with a basic level of undertanding evolution knows that's not how evolution works. I'm sorry I just couldn't suspend my disbelief for it due the fact that I know that's not how evolution works and I would have thought the writers knew that too but apparently not. If go with that notion in any of the other realms, fine but when you use our Earth for stuff like that, you're gonna run into issues that will contradict that immediately due to how much we know about the history of human civilization and evolution on Earth. I agree. If they wanted to add in something about mankind being created by another force or something, I would have been fine. They could have said humans will be created again or something. But casually dropping that humans would just evolve again the exact same way in a few thousand years from a blob was eye rolling. I can't believe how poorly planned out that was. Would have been better had she said she'd wiped that particular civilization away, but mankind would show up again. One nymph...especially one of Gothel's ability, cleansing the Earth of humanity was a bit much. My headcanon is Gothel was just ignorant and thought that one place was all of mankind. Maybe they'd even crossed over from another realm. That would explain how they were living in 18th. century luxury with every single ethnicity...in Seattle.
