I also get the impression that writes forgot what was in previous episode, not to mention about previous seasons. Or that they are just making some YOLO scripts. They're trying to find the author almost the whole season, and once they did, it's like all the heroes saying: ok, it's fine to see you here, lets move on to the next plot twist! We will not try to get you back from Gold, although we were so desperate to find you first, and not letting Gold lay a hand on you. Yeah! And about that ink! In "Sympathy..." there is that mysterious dialogue about what will happen if the ink will spill out. Than we have that dramatic moment which only explained how Cruella dyed her hair to black-white colour. I mean the ink spilled on her ANNNNNND... Author-poker face, just nothing. She changed her hair to dalmatian colour, the ink powahhh!

That transfer of darkness away from Emma is also stupid. Yeah, first they say that they transferred darkness from Emma to Lily. But wait, we know that Emma still can go dark, so they call it "transferring of POTENTIAL to darkness". But wait, doesn't just everyone have potential for goodness and darkness? Yet as You wrote, they say that Emma still has a greatest potential for darkness. Poor Charmings unlucky, they did literary nothing.

And btw. do you remember that "chamber of secrets" from Neverland? They said it's terrible place, because "no one was able to survive there" (or smth like that) sice you had to confess the deepest secret of yours. Well, Charmings already knew, that they've stolen a baby from Maleficent, yet Snow shared with us her horrible secret about her wanting another baby (OMG!)... Besides Emma's confession I didn't hear anything that could be considered as "dark secret". Well, that's something I was wondering about since we wound out what Charmings did to Mal, and at that point of view, that chamber was just pointless. And the CharmingSnow trying to apologise Mal out of the blue was just ridiculous. I laughed during that moment hard.

CoolDudeAl, they had time to change (and they did, couple of times to be exact). OUAT is not happening in one week. It's just like Eskaver said about the writing: What they are doing is tossing around character moments, cheap twists, and flowery language to get to the plot/action/ contrived conflict. And again, all this is what happens with serialized things. If Once was a book that was written by one person over the course of a year, then sure the concerns here would have more validity, but Once is a serialized thing that is written over many years by many different people. Some project creep is bound to happen. And if anything, Once does an above average job of trying to keep a very intricate plot and timeline all in working order without any major plot holes. They even went as far to explain an actor recasting. I'm just not sure what people expect from them.
