Like, they could do a couple episodes with Jasper, Horace, and Cruella, perhaps that Mary Poppins episode, etc., more Season One-esque. Maybe all these villains and storylines have a connection to the next "big bad", but we don't even hear about him/her until the Finale or something, with just small hints dropped that we can look back at and go, "Holy shit!" (lol), and then there's Season Four, y'know?

Anyone get what I'm getting at? That would be amazing. It would be cool for Once to have more of a "villain of the week" premise. "Villain of the week" or "Fairytale creature of the week" format would be much easier to follow than those long and complex story arcs and it would probably provide better ratings. Tv shows with "______ of the week" premise usually have better ratings and last longer than serialized dramas.
