What Once really needs is a villain who can totally and unequivocally kick Rumple's ass. Few of the show's villains have made much of an impact for me because Rumple's always there going "I'm more powerful than you, and I let you flit around because...reasons." The way he pretty much one-hit the BF was a bigger let down than Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

It would be great to see a villain that surpasses all those that have come before. A threat that can't just be handwaved away with one spell or plot device. A villain who it will take teamwork and sacrifice to overcome. I live in hope.
