I actually think they are still doing that. There are all sorts of "loose ends" that are dropped, only to be picked up later. Things such as Dark Fairy Dust (Snow Falls/Snow Drifts), the Black Fairy (Going Home), The Vault of the Dark One (Quiet Minds), Excalibur/Camelot/Merlin/Lancelot (Lady of the Lake/Lost Girl).

One lesser one that I am hoping will be picked up on is when Gold provided David with the antidote for Dreamshade (The New Neverland). He made the comment along the lines of "We're family now, so this one is on the house. BUT, if I should ever need a favor someday..." Maybe we'll get a chance to see Gold request something from David.

Overall, I think the writers as a whole do a good job with continuity, which is something that is not easy to accomplish.
