The timeline still doesn't make much sense. Alice was born in 1983 when the curse was supposed to be cast on Wish Realm. Now the question is, was time on NEF frozen? Yes, meaning time was frozen from 1983 to 2011 (when Emma reached Storybrooke) Then 7x13 took place around 2021, when Alice was about 10. And that's impossible, because in 7x13 Hook/Rogers looks much younger and healtier than he looked in 6x11, which was set in 2013/2014, and 7x02 (which was set many years after 7x13). So we can safely assume time was not frozen on NEF. No, time was still running from 1983 to 2011 Then Alice should be 40+ in Season 7, which is set beyond 2020 (even if it were set in 2017, she still would be close to 40). Cinderella would also have to be 50+.

Unless I'm missing something, and I surely hope I am.
