It was long ago that I watched Once Upon a Time, and what I remember mostly is this pattern:
the audience sees a new threat coming to the village;
different people in the village have various parts of important information, and if they only shared the information, they could learn about the threat and probably easily eliminate it...
...but they don’t;
after many episodes and lots of suffering, people finally share the information and defeat the threat;
then they swear they will never do the same mistake again;
but they do it again and again and again every season.
So maybe in season 4 I was like: okay, they are all irredeemable idiots, and I already know how this situation will get solved, and I also know there will be dozen episodes of stupid behavior until we get there… so I stopped watching.
