It still doesn’t make sense. Graham’s death hurt, but at least it made sense. Pan’s death was the only way to stop him. Cora, too. But Neal’s death was just so not the only way to handle ANYTHING we’ve seen.
I’m hoping they’ll feel a little more free to explain why after the finale. Because I just want it to make sense. That’s all.
Having watched 320, it’s because they think Rumple is much more interesting as the Dark One. And they want to give him as much magical mythic drama as possible, instead of human drama.
