I do encourage to expand the realm of possibility.

Storybrooke could be trapped in a bubble, frozen in time, cursed in some way. There is no need for "OMG she's dead", "OMG she's pregnant". Her entire family was about to die in season 6 and I didn't see anyone yelling OOC and that she is dead or pregnant because we knew that she was cursed.

Hook is Hook, Regina is Regina, Rumple is Rumple and it could simply be like a Dark Curse ontop of a Dark Curse.

People question why H2R are there? Perhaps they decided to visit Henry, perhaps the curse pulled them there.

Where are the questions about "Where's Snow and David? Are they dead? They abandoned their child fora chance to rescue Hook, surely they'd be out there looking?"

We might get a better answer the second episode or maybe when we see Zelena again.

It's just a little frustrating that noone goes for the simplest solutions that the writers always employ--Magic!
