Does anybody think Jonathan, Zelena's father, is a reference to Prince John of the Robin Hood story? First, note I am speaking of the Robin Hood story's Prince John, not the historical one that became King John. Jonathan is an extension of the name John. The Robin Hood story one was a who pretended to be King, just as Jonathan pretended to be a Prince. I know Jonathan is way before Robin Hood time in Once Upon a Time, but in a show where Peter Pan is actually Rumplestilskin/The Crocodile's father, nothing impossible. And I know Jonathan character probably has no more importance in the series, but I thought I point out a possible reference.
