The Rapunzel story was wasted with all the meaning of the word. Except the fact that, the tale's scenes were few and short ,it didn't add anything to the story and the storybrooke scenes could stand on their own. Since they found this way to have more refreshing and epic flashbacks ( with a completly forgotten year ,instead of those boring flashbacks connected to the Snowing arch.) they could have done incredible things. (If only David had shown a recognition of Rapunzel from his Nolan life it would add many things ). I never said that they have to add people to the cast in order to satisfied the fans' will to see their favorite fables but even the Kathryn/Abigail-Midas tale which is almost unknown to the average oncer, was treated pretty cooler. Yes Cathryn was there to help the storyline, She really did, her part of the story is responsible for a big part of the first season themes(like Testing the true love of the charmings, and blaming MM) and she did not appear in more than 4 episodes. The build her, and they twist her story perfectly, they took every opportunity that it first gave them in order to tell their (big five) story. They could have done this with the others but now they are focusing on we're they want to end, not the journey's story in between. Rapunzel was there just to point that Charming faced his biggest fears (in one scene, while hunting a witch -.-). Although ,as I said ,this season rocks, last episode kind of proofed they they knew they have to add rapunzel somewhere. I Completly agree with ShadowLian about Ariel. I wanted to see her saving Eric, seeing her voice being stolen, and a tragic precurse ending (as a reference to the original one) and a Vanessa storyline in Storybrooke. Hopefuly Rapunzel gave them a click not to repeat the same mistake.
