They could've actually paid attention to the timeline. This is the major issue. Did no one in the writers room notice how things were quickly and obviously not adding up?

I wouldn't have expanded on the Wish Realm or any wish characters at all. Things already weren't making sense in the 2 episodes they did on it, so I think bringing it back was a bad call. If they really needed to keep Colin on the show, having him play the real Hook wouldn't have been tragic. (I know they keep saying "But we didn't want to mess with Emma & Hook's happy ending!" - but I say they would've been fine. And it might've forced more of those fans to keep watching til the end.) Alice could still be on the show and have connections with Rumple and Robin.

And like people have mentioned elsewhere, all of the Cinderella stuff has been kind of underwhelming given how much it was promoted. Ella isn't well written and they haven't really gone back to fill in Henry/Ella's relationship. It's a shame they wrote out Tremaine when her character started getting more interesting. Adelaide as Drizella has been a highlight but they didn't make her a main and we know what's coming. Just your usual OUAT taking on too much and not being able to deliver, I suppose.
