Just because you liked the convoluted storyline of Excalibur was originally the Holy Grail does not negate what was established in Skin Deep in regards to that very same item. As Jane admitted, they didn't even consider doing the Holy Grail storyline beyond that moment in the Skin Deep episode. Hence, retcon. Foreshadow??? lol. The continual steady lack of continuity is laughable. I can always count on OUAT for that. You do realize that Rumplestilskin had more than just the "Holy Grail" in his collection, right? He had "Excalibur", the "Sorcerer's Hat", "Poseidon's Trident" just to name a few. These were all just easter eggs, and not retcons. I agree. They were easter eggs for Disney references, they were definitely not easter eggs for "planned" future sotrylines. They just took items from different Disney film and thought it would be cool to show them on screen that's it. I agree with the concept that those items were Easter Egg so therefore it should be taken in face value. That is why I find it nonsense to go another 4 season later and retcon it to say it was another item which destroys the narrative of that scene and think people are naïve enough to think that true. It was cool to see it on the show but not one person thought the Holy Grail would ever be reference again because it served its purpose in that one scene.
