Of course stuff happens off screen like mundane things as breastfeeding and taking poops (lol), but important conversations should happen onscreen to give insight into people's relationships. The argument is that OUAT overall does a horrible job in interpersonal relationships. It says something that in 6 episodes, Emma STILL haven't had a scene with her mother/father, which is quite an essential relationship in OUAT. Just horrible writing, but that's par the course. I was talking about important things and things realized, like Robin did know Zelena and how she looked because of season 4, but he said nothing in season 3b, and I think they said soemthing along the lines of he mentioned it to them offscreen or something, but still did recognize her.

Oh yes, I completely understand where you are coming from. Thank you so much :) Yeah....that was also a retcon. So basically what Heart of Gold established, is that Robin lied to Regina in 3B.

And the transition of Emma's actions have no explanations whatsoever. So far, we have no insight whether it was articulated or shown. Hopefully they will show what happened for her change of actions in the upcoming episode. I find it ironic that Emma seem so much more into Hook as DO then she ever has shown in the previous seasons.

I'm all fine with the showing throwing in new ideas but if it is inconsistent with what they shown previously in earlier episodes and seasons, it throws the whole narration off. And that is where my issue is.
