the fact is OUAT should have ended long time ago, or at least have only 13 epis season per year, that way i think the writing would not be so bad and the characters would be way more develop than they are now with seasons with 23 episodes, where most are fillers, and each episode is a retcon of something that the characters did on previous episode.
I disagree. Basically what you are describing is what we’re getting now. Instead of getting one arc spread over 22 episodes and allowing the characters to breathe, we’re getting one arc compressed into 11 episodes and therefore everything is plot based. Snow was a moron in 3B because the arc required her to be an idiot so that Zelena could get close enough to take the baby because there wasn’t time for Zelena to worm her way into Snow’s trust circle. Snow had to immediately accept her otherwise the plot couldn’t happen in the timeframe given. Rumple had a complete character flip in 4A because the arc needed him to be a villain yet there wasn’t time to show his gradual slide back into villainy, it was a flick a switch deal.
