The revelation that Peter Pan was Rumple's father is surprising to say the least. But what intrigue me even more is the Shadow and the potential for a "Bigger Bad"! The Shadow (as shown in the newest episode) is not Pan's minion but the soul of the land, it can be assumed that it's as old as neverland itself. But what exactly is it? What's exactly is Neverland? And If at all possible, who created them?

The answer to these question will probably tread very closely to the nature of magic itself (emotion, belief, but only for selected people and in selected lands). With Jafar in Once Wonderland's working to change the law of magic as our hero's adventure in the land of belief draws to a close, I hope that the topic of the nature of magic would be touched upon soon.

One last question, who do you think will be the next big bad? Which fairy tales character has the power to be the boss of the boss? And who will our hero turn to to save Rumple from an eternal prison?

The second half of Season 3 will take place next spring in New York. In the mean time, we fans could only wait,enjoy the conclusion of the epic Neverland arc and speculate as to what would happen next. That the beauty of waiting, I guess!
