And honestly, we can not judge continuity, or lack thereof, until episodes have aired. there may be portions of the story that directly resolve what is right now an apparant loophole. I would say that the writers have not forgotten much, given that they finally tied up a missing storyline in SotD (how Henry ended up shrunk in Cora's vault). That story has been hanging since season 1. And while there are other questions on timeline, that piece of the story resolves nicely.

so may I offer the suggestion that judgement be withheld on continuity gaps until episodes have actually aired? In fact, I might even go so far as to say that we should withhold judgement on continuity until the series is finished. who knows when the writers will tie up some loose ends.
