I agree completely, and I hope that shows.

What can the writers do to get back Rumple back on a track that you personally feel is more palatable?
I think he needs something to hate, pure “from Hell’s heart I stab at thee” blood-oath-of-vengeance hatred. Something that will make his fears insignificant, something that will make greed seem a waste of time.
It’s like in the Harry Potter books: it was Snape’s love for Lily that gave him purpose, but it was his hatred of Voldemort that gave him the burning strength to see his purpose through. (Or something like that. Snape is a complex character. But hatred was definitely part of him.)

Though, we’re still left with the question of why Merlin had a house in the second curse when not the first–both times he was SticksVille
Another “Back to the Future” effect? That’s the nuclear solution to all plot inconsistencies.

Somebody came up with the hilarious theory that the DEL is actually Weird Al Yankovic’s Monk character
Al could work, but I’m hoping for Tim “Use the accessory wall wisely” Gunn.

I’m guessing the title will be a quote from Dante. “City of Woe” sounds cool, though it’s probably not right for a season finale.

I think the understated smoke looks okay, just not the flames themselves. And rather than “menacing”, the facial expression says “Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster”, but maybe playing Hades for laughs is the intent.

It seems unlikely they are going to make special footage for a promo. They usually just use stuff from the episodes.
It could be a special tease to promote the (half-)season, like with Ariel and Grumpy a few years ago. I think an underworld variation of the “There is a town, in Maine…” narration would be cool.

That’s right. Gal and Izzy found Tallahassee.
I hope the show gets a third season. Happily ever after is nice at first, but those two would be bored with paradise after a week or so. I want to hear that song.

However, none of the couples on this show are habenero cheese
Maybe casu marzu cheese instead?
Edited to add: Sorry, folks. I meant that as a comment on storyline quality, not as flamebait. I should think a bit more before I post.
Edited to add again: Though maybe I worry too much.
