Did they forget about last season already
This is how they’ve written every season since the end of 3A. They pick up the very last thread of the previous season (going home, Elsa in SB, Dark Swan) and then carry that thread through to the next mini arc but don’t bother returning to any other big questions/themes, ect. It’s the same reason why Emma is still an petulant 3 yr old who complains about her walls.
Exactly! The characters always do 360 every half season since season 3B. They just become templates and their personality is what the plot needs it to be. They don’t deal with consequences, they don’t learn from their mistakes and they don’t grow as characters.
The show ended in 311. if we think about it the main stories and relationships that motivated the show were resolved by that episode:
-The Dark Curse (Regina’s Curse, not Snow’s poor imitation or Hook’s WTF?!) was a main factor in season 1-3A and it was cast-broken-undone.
– Regina’s hatred towards Snow was resolved.
– Regina and Emma’s rivalry was resolved.
– Regina and Henry’s relationship, as well as Emma and Henry’s relationship, are not important anymore. Now it’s about Zelena-Robin-illegitimate child and Hook respectively.
– Snow and Charming are no longer important. Their relationship with Emma isn’t as well.
– Rumple search for Baelfire and their relationship!!! They don’t know what to do with Rumple anymore so they just make him a villain without any motivation being explained.
