I disagree about Pan. There was aclear theme in 3A about parents and their effect on their children, and we saw that through a lot of relationship in 3A, we had Snow-Emma, Emma-Henry, Regina-Henry, Rumple-Neal, Neal-Henry. Pan being Rumple's father put more emphasis on that parenthood theme that was played throughout that season and it would have been lost if Pan was Rumple's brother or even worse his friend. In addition, it shed more light on Rumple's motives, Rumple as a character, why he became like that and added more impact to his conflict with himself throughout the season.

I really think 3A is a very strong and underrated season, not that there aren't things on that season that I wouldn't change.
