There's a difference to what I'm tallking about. Yeah, there's the offscreen stuff. There's also the "change in plan" stuff. Some reasonable, some unreasonable.

But this season seems to display one obvious and one that shouldn't be obvious. Obviously, each writer writes each character uniquely. The part that shouldn't be obvious is writing them in such a way that doesn't flow with the previous episode. Example, the one about Rumple.

Adam and Eddy wrote Rumple as saddened, likely conflicted, still Machievellian. Adam and Eddy try to wrap it up that way as well. Jane bounced back from threat-making Rumple for the conflicted grey character. However, the episodes inbetween seem to present Rumple in a different light.

It's akin to Emma's fairly inconsistent Dark One plan but I feel as though they suddenly had a shift, while here they go back and forth. It's akin to the cyclical cycle of Daivd and Hook. Season 3: David feels Hook is a dirty pirate, but changes that thought. Season 5 has David and Hook return to that and re-realize that it's not the case. Then, Season 6 brings that back as if they made little to no progress.

It's also the plan that should have been smoothed out. Next post....
