I also get the impression that writes forgot what was in previous episode, not to mention about previous seasons. Or that they are just making some YOLO scripts. They're trying to find the author almost the whole season, and once they did, it's like all the heroes saying: ok, it's fine to see you here, lets move on to the next plot twist! We will not try to get you back from Gold, although we were so desperate to find you first, and not letting Gold lay a hand on you. Yeah! And about that ink! In "Sympathy..." there is that mysterious dialogue about what will happen if the ink will spill out. Than we have that dramatic moment which only explained how Cruella dyed her hair to black-white colour. I mean the ink spilled on her ANNNNNND... Author-poker face, just nothing. She changed her hair to dalmatian colour, the ink powahhh!

That transfer of darkness away from Emma is also stupid. Yeah, first they say that they transferred darkness from Emma to Lily. But wait, we know that Emma still can go dark, so they call it "transferring of POTENTIAL to darkness". But wait, doesn't just everyone have potential for goodness and darkness? Yet as You wrote, they say that Emma still has a greatest potential for darkness. Poor Charmings unlucky, they did literary nothing.

And btw. do you remember that "chamber of secrets" from Neverland? They said it's terrible place, because "no one was able to survive there" (or smth like that) sice you had to confess the deepest secret of yours. Well, Charmings already knew, that they've stolen a baby from Maleficent, yet Snow shared with us her horrible secret about her wanting another baby (OMG!)... Besides Emma's confession I didn't hear anything that could be considered as "dark secret". Well, that's something I was wondering about since we wound out what Charmings did to Mal, and at that point of view, that chamber was just pointless. And the CharmingSnow trying to apologise Mal out of the blue was just ridiculous. I laughed during that moment hard.

CoolDudeAl, they had time to change (and they did, couple of times to be exact). OUAT is not happening in one week. It's just like Eskaver said about the writing: What they are doing is tossing around character moments, cheap twists, and flowery language to get to the plot/action/ contrived conflict. Love all around! You just reminded me of "Why on earth would David and Snow find the Author and just leave him in the cabin for Rumple?" No one on Earth, Enchanted Forest, Arendelle, Agrabah, Victorian England, Wonderland, Neverland, or the Fictional 1920's world can tell me that that was the most insane and overshadowed plot point ever. They searched for him forever, searched for him in 4x17, and then in 4x18 they find him and have the oppotunity to rescue him and ......oh no Emma's turning dark by saving her child! Emma's darky darkness...um, did everyone just suffered amnesia? Did Rumple freeze everyone and spiked their coffee?

Remember, anything dangerous and world-ending post-season two is overhyped. Echo caves was a moment for the characters to throw plot and ships in everyone's face. (They didn't know at all that they stole Mal's baby because the creators didn't know.) Hook was throwing his kisses, Emma throwing back Neal's love, Snow's actress was probably actually pregnant, David's only plot arc was exposed, and nothing dangerous at all. Remember the Spell of Shattered Sight, the spell that made an entire kingdom kill each other? Not one death mentioned or shown at all after it was cast. Way to break it can't be true love (too cliche), so Ingrid has to die...um Chekov's gun aka the letter tossed out to sea that became important. I mean that what that plot device actually is, completely.

The writing is how I said it was and we just see the results. If anyone was curious, in a recent episode, Jane Espenson said she wrote half and episode while I think Kalinda worte the other half. I don't know much about writing, but that seems quite problematic.
