The thing that I'm most curious about....

With most of the fairy tales, the stories we knew about had happened before the curse took place. But then, with Sleeping Beauty... it was taking place during the curse. Maleficent mentioned in Season 1 that she had used a sleeping curse before, but the names Philip and Aurora are ones we associate with that story and those characters are just lifting the curse when Emma and Snow arrived post-curse-breaking.
