A big problem with this is that the writers made Alice's conception very very problematic, and considering how prominent she is...

Plus, it really doesn't help season seven in any way. I'm still incredibly frustrated at why and how anyone thought this was even close to a good idea. The writers should’ve learned from the first time. They didn’t though. This is the fourth time they’ve done a storyline where consent was just thrown out the window. First we had Regina and the Huntsman/Graham, where Regina had his heart under her control. Then we had Zelena and Robin, where Zelena had disguised herself as Marian, while being with Robin. Then we had King Arthur and Guinevere, with Arthur using the magic sand on her, to keep her completely under his control. This fourth time, Hook and Gothel, where Gothel disguised herself as Rapunzel, and tricked Hook into impregnating her. They could have shown how bad these villains were without all the rape storylines, but they chose not to. Gothel especially frustrates me because she's more than evil enough with all her...evil doings in literally every other episode. Knightfall alone is enough to tell me, "hey, she's evil".
