I should start by saying that I adore the show and I don't pay too much attention in all the flaws. I'm never here to discuss timelines (ha!) and I don't mind all the loose ends so much simply because they're not too important (I wish we found out how Will got to Ana, but alas).

However:

Well, constant plotholes, timeline messups and loose ends drove vieweres away. The core stories are always great, its the storytelling that messed everything up.

Adam and Eddy are great at writing episodes but they can't keep up with a whole show.

I mean, Snow admitting that she wants another child as her deepest secret when later we found out that Snow and Charming stole Maleficent's baby was dumb. It was a great twist if the incident in 3A never happened. That means they didn't have things planned out and just came up with ideas in the process, which is not always a bad thing but, well, in this case is. They could have the Charmings drink something to forget of what they did but no.

They could have easily avoided the whole "Who is Lily's dad?" by not having Emma and Lily discuss it in a whole scene. They pay too much attention in dialogue (which is great) that they tend to skip parts of the story (which is bad). They were never going to come back to that story simply because the arc was ending and they were moving on.

And the timeline messups could have been avoided if they kept a litteral timeline in a board in their office or in a doc in their computers or something. They seem to just write stories for the sake of writing, they don't pay much attention to the whole picture.

BUT

I'm happy we got to see all of our favorite Disney characters and more in these 7 seasons.
