-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. What makes you think the new curse will be explained in 7x02? From the looks of things it appears 7x02 is going to be 95% Hook, Henry, and Emma teary reunion/goodbuy, and then 5% Jacinda trying to get Lucy back from Victoria. (And I'd still like to know how Victoria can just take Lucy like that.) Per the law of our world - if a parent is unable to provide adequate care for a child, a relative can step in and take the child: having a child run away and drinking in a bar instead of looking for her, constitutes as "unadequate" car, so Victoria can legally step in to take Lucy away.
