Yeah... that's not how television works. When they write a show, they're not just pulling ideas out of their butts... they have a plot, generally a plot that they follow through to fruition. They don't just change the entire direction of a series, in the middle of it.

Suddenly incorporating things like reincarnation or time travel completely unravels the continuity of the series, and quite frankly, just makes no sense.

If time travel was possible in the OuaT universe, why couldn't Rumple just time travel back to when Bae went through the portal and go with him? Why couldn't Regina go back and stop Daniel from dying?

And reincarnation is assuming characters in fairytales exist... outside of FTL... which completely negates the idea of the land WITHOUT magic.
