Dorothy under a sleeping curse, surrounded by a group of diminuative people, Ruby coming in and delivering TLK, and even Ruby's line which was very much "I will always find you" reeked of poor and unimaginative writing. I would think that taking on such a controversial subject such as LGBT would be better served by finding an ORIGINAL approach.

Also, I understand why they sent Snow home, and that had more to do with the fact that Ginny was unavailble to film while handling the Zootopia premiere. But why not send others home as well? Particularly, why not set Belle, Robin, Baby Hood, and Henry back. Hell, send Rumple and Zelena back as well. Regina, David, and Emma are stuck, as is Killian. The 4 of them are competent enough to figure a way out of the UW, and maybe there are things the others can do from the overworld to help. I'll hold final judgement until the gang returns to the overworld, but as of right now, this also smells of poor and unimaginative writing.

Speaking of Sending Snow home, it occurs to me that when they do reach the end of the arc and it's time to depart the UW, they are still going to have one problem. Killian was in the UW because he died. and the rule has been, and is, a life for a life. so for Killian to come back, someone else is going to have to stay. And I would wager that Regina, David, and Emma can't be the ones since they are trapped by the headstones. and I don't think we'll get some random peasant to pay that price, it will be someone that travelled to the UW. So who, from Rumple, Belle, Robin, Zelena, and Henry, will be the one to stay behind? I and others have all ready explained why they did what they did with compairing RubySlippers to Snowing on the other thread, so I'm going to skip over explaining it again. As far as why more didn't go, two reasons, one in show, one off show, 1. maybe the slippers can only take a certain amount of people, and 2. they need most of the main cast to be in one place so they can be in the episodes. Finally, you might be on to something with Hook. Maybe that explains the rumor about Robin dying. Did he trade his life for Hook's? But if so, why?
