As for the complaints that the characters don't evolve enough, that's not because the plot is poorly written, or anything, that's because people don't change over night. It takes time. Regina didn't go from all good to all evil in a week, and she isn't going to go back to all good in a week either. Rumple is an addict, and the thing about addicts is even when they try really hard to stay on the straight and narrow, they often relapse. I think some people think there are weird jumps in how these characters act, and while they may change, it takes time, and doesn't happen overnight. Honestly, the biggest jump in a character that doesn't completely make sense has been Will, from where he was at the end of Wonderland, to where he is now, but I'm assuming it will be explained at some point, and then make perfect sense.
