I really want a Maeficent backstory, because we can have a double oppurtunity (Briar Rose in flashbacks, and Lily's father in the present) - however, since there's been a timejump, I don't think we'll get to find out the identity of the father (I think maybe we'll see it in comic book form though) Can you imagine how great the Hook's father story would have been if they had taken the opportunity and made him Davy Jones? I mean seriously, imagine saying to a non OUAT viewer "Davy Jones is Captain Hook's father". Still, if they genderbent Jack and the Beanstalk they can do the same with Davy Jones.

I think the problem with comic books is that the majority of the audience probably don't know about them. I, and some of my fandom friends, didn't know they existed and haven't planned on reading them. So it would be resolving the story for about 1% of the viewing audience. Very true, most of the viewers doesn't even know about comics.
