Regina proved that she could turn herself into a mermaid, and turn others into mermaids and humans back and forth as she pleased. Why didn't Rumple just turn himself into a mermaid (or Mer-man) if he was so desperate to see his son because it was revealed that mermaids can freely travel between realms. Instead of all this befunctury with the curse, it would have been a whole lot more simple. Also the blue fairy could have easily turned people into mermaids and not screwed up Emma's childhood, and found another lands for the Enchanted forest to settle. This would have been no harder than making a puppet a living being, and turning him into a real boy. Even if their stit as mermaids was only long enough to get them to the next land it wouldn't have broken there moral code it would perserve quality of life, and happy endings for countless people. I know this is like asking why doesn't Giligan ever figure out how to get off the island, if he did there wouldn't be a show anymore, but come on.
