Definitely agree with what you said. A major issue is that Once tends to build up storylines, only for them to not go anywhere or be a let down (e.g. Hook killing Charming's dad was unneccesary, what did we really learn about the Savior mythology and Aladdin's involvement, etc).

With DDI, it used to be less obvious. Looking at "Skin Deep" for example; besides certain character names, a chipped cup and Belle's dress, the episode was a Once version of the fairytale - we only had little references here and there. With episodes like "Ariel" and "Street Rats", they are more like adaptations of the Disney movie for me.

Honestly with Season 7 and a soft reboot, alot of these issue will be left unanswered, and the writers can pick-and-choose what storylines they want to continue. I hope they learnt from their past mistakes for season 7, so that we have full closure on all new stories they introduce.
