To begin with, i have to admit that season 3 (and especially 3b) is turning to be awesome but I also have to admit that some pretty famous, beloved and well known stories and myths are just used only to accomplish a goal of its season theme.

Like what they did with Ariel (she had to connect the two worlds). Indeed her episode was okay, but common people they could have done so many great things. They are using characters from tales without showing a  twist on their stories, they are just found somewere to (as I said) do something to help the plot with only a mention of their tale without seeing it with our eyes.

With Ariel, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel they could have done so many epic seasons for each one. They just introduce some characters and hint something from the past but we never explored it in person. I want to see those tales happening in a bunch of episodes not only one. I truly  want to discover those twists not just to hear about them. We can't explore them like the Snowing story but we could spend at least  episodes  for each fable. (We actually could have spend seasons about the very famous ones). And unfortunatlly we didn't even saw a little part of the Sleeping Beauty story-exept the kiss scene-. Imagine a Maleficent arch. where she returns and wants to take revenge,since she had issues with almost the whole cast-(rare for a vilain in this show cause they usually have with one-), Hook, Regina, Charming, Emma,Gold.It seems like writers prefer using novel as center themes (Wonderland, Peter pan, Oz mythology) than actual tales -exept first season's :Snow White, AND Rumplestilskin. Anyway I am obsessed with the third season (pretty simillar to  the first) but I had so many hopes for both the little mermaid and Rapunzel and just wanted to express my thoughts :s (Btw I think my english has improved a lot :)))
