I know the "so and so lied" argument is kind of an easy way out for some retcons, but for personally, it works. I don't really follow the idea of taking everything at face value, not in life, not with TV. XD

did the writers actually intend Lancelot to be dead when Cora said that? Maybe. Maybe not. We may never know. But when I first heard her say that, I didn't fully believe her. Because she's Cora. To me, she'd already shown that she is not someone to be trusted, and perhaps she just didn't want the heroes to go out looking for him. Or she wanted to cause MM some pain because she hates her. ::shrug:: I feel the same way, at least mostly, about Snow telling Charming that Regina put her under the sleeping curse because she was prettier. I believed it when I first watched the pilot because, of course I did. XD That's how it went in the fairytale. Later, when we learned about Daniel, and more about Snow White in general, I definitely believe she lied. Maybe not maliciously, but still. XD (of course, it's still a retcon. Charming would have known about Daniel at that time) But, you know me, I'm more accepting of these kinds of things.

I'm in complete agreement with you about Kansas, and Neal and Cora traveling to multiple worlds. What's funny to me is how everyone takes everything said on a tv show at face value, like characters are incapable of lying. I wonder do these people take everything everyone says to them in real life at face value. If so, I am concerned for them. I forget the exact number, but it's something like on average everyone lies 7 times a day. Point is, don't believe everything everyone tells you.
