-While they called this a soft reboot, it failed to explain the rules of the curse to the (hypothetical) new viewers. I mean, we know that happened because we saw season 1-6, but  new viewers would be like "wtf am I watching??" So, it wasn't really a reboot I have a feeling, even the fanbase from S1 was thinking "WTF am I watching?". The season has started a different way than S1 (despite the amount of claims that it's a total copy).

Style-wise, it's like any other season of Once, but being a soft reboot, rather than from an ongoing series.

S1: Increments, increments!

S7: Fast, slow, Fast! (Depending on the writers as this is speculative)

I'm pretty sure the curse wasn't super well explained in the first episode of Once either. Well, not much more than this on. Yep, curse wasn't explained until 102. When we actually saw what Regina had to do to cast it.
