Do A&E oversee every editing of each episode, or do they simply rely on an editing team who may not have seen every episode?
I think Adam answered that on Twitter recently? If memory serves, when they first started releasing deleted scenes, someone asked him who decides which scenes get cut and he answered that it was always him and Eddy?
All the worse then. Really, how could A&E overlook so many important continuity errors? My only explanation is that they just don’t care anymore about that sort of thing. Also, how can they overlook important details like the fact that Henry aged during the curse but Ingrid didn’t? Neither one was cursed!

It would make more sense to me if Rumple wanted to be known as a hero to Henry and Belle, get out of crazy Storybrooke, go find a kingdom to rule somewhere. But why on earth, and in what universe would Rumple want to go live in New York City? Like, does he have fond memories of New York?
Yes, actually. New York was where Baelfire was living when Rumple found his son again. Do we know that is where Rumple is headed this time, or is that just fan conjecture?

The fact that Rumple is being SO secretive and so “muahahaha” villain means that it probably has nothing to do with his child. It’s just power. All season A and E have said that Rumple is self-serving and selfish. That’s how they see him now. that’s the story they are writing for him.
Yeah. I have this foreboding feeling that Rumple may be headed for a villain’s ending. When is Robert Carlyle’s contract up? It could be the actor wants out as soon as his contract is up, so he convinced the writers to go full-on dark one so Rumple can go out in one final blaze of glory.

LOLing so hard right now.

Hook completely dismisses Henry’s feelings because Emma acknowledged that they were “together”. Hook doesn’t give a crap about Henry, Hook’s only interest is Emma. Henry is only important insofar that he’s a way to Emma’s heart. Will got it right when he called Hook out on “using the son to get to the mother”.

That’s not to say that they still shouldn’t make a better judgement on which material is the most vital to keep intact.
Do A&E oversee every editing of each episode, or do they simply rely on an editing team who may not have seen every episode? If they do it themselves, then they simply must not care about the show anymore. If not, they absolutely need to find a new editing team. There is a surprising lack of continuity, which could also come down to the writing team. For instance, Ingrid didn’t age in SB yet Henry did? Ingrid should’ve aged in SB since she wasn’t cursed!
Also, did the editing team really need the opening scene with the fake fortune teller? I don’t think so, since it seemed like an unnecessary scene. I think if they’d scrapped that scene in favor of the scene between Ingrid and Regina, it would’ve just as easily have shown that magic didn’t exist in this world in 2011, and it would’ve established that Ingrid brought magic rocks with her from her world. Instead, by leaving it out, they left a lot of gaps, and room for very valid criticism, since it seemed like Ingrid used magic she created in A Land Without Magic. And without this explanation of where the magic came from, it’s a hot mess of confusion for viewers who don’t bother to watch cut scenes on GMA or online.

2) How did Regina not know that some new stranger arrived in her town?
I hate that the scene of Regina and Ingrid was cut, because it answers this question. Poor editing decision to leave it out. Regina did know a stranger had suddenly set up shop in her town during the curse. Really, they couldn’t find room for this scene at all? It was an important scene insofar as it filled in a lot of these apparent plot holes.
3) How did Ingrid use magic inside SB to take Emma’s memories. Regina’s ring barely worked to make the hat function, so how did the crystal?
Again, the answer was in the cut scene, another reason to have left it in. Ingrid said that even though SB didn’t have magic at that point in time, she brought some magic with her from her world in the form of memory-erasing rocks (the kind the rock trolls used on Belle). That answers the question of how on Earth Ingrid was able to take teenage Emma’s memories. She then gave a rock to Dopey to take Regina’s memories of Ingrid’s sudden arrival in town in 2011. Though the magical rocks seem a little too convenient, and a little too “rectacony” of season one, at least there was a (somewhat) understandable explanation to most of these questions.
She said she didn’t age once she came to storybrook, because no one in town aged. But Henry did!
Yeah, I caught that contradiction as well. Ingrid wasn’t cursed, just as Henry wasn’t, so both should’ve aged. This was just a stupid, stupid oversight of whichever writers wrote this episode.

Why did they cut that scene? It answers so many questions like “did Regina know that a stranger came to town in 2011?” Yes. Also it answers the question of “how did Ingrid take teenage Emma’s memories in A Land Without Magic?” Answer: she brought the magic rocks with her from Arendelle (how convenient). Without these little, yet oh-so-important scenes, the plot holes are glaringly obvious.

Rumple said the rest of the world had better not stand in his way. But that begs the question of what they would stand in the way of? Being dominated by an all-powerful wizard, who has a bookish consort and young apprentice? That just sounds like a black comedy caricature of a fully dark villain. Somehow I just can’t see Rumple sitting upon his dark throne while keeping the military at bay with threats of magical impending doom. Would he enslave the people of Earth and make them do his bidding? The town of SB is too small for Rumple’s great ambitions of world domination? That just sounds like a cartoonish villain.
