This season could've been better. The introduction of Greg and Tamara was so random, and the Lacey subplot was practically useless considering how fast it was resolved. I'm also disappointed, since I wanted more interaction between Gold and Bae, especially after "The Miller's Daughter" (I also wanted Bae to meet Belle, and his thoughts on her since she practically singlehandedly enforces Rumplestiltskin's conscience and morals). Cora shouldn't have died so early either. And I wish Regina had grown a backbone and defied her mother openly, instead of Snow White having to trick her into killing Cora. Also, Archie should have stayed dead. And dear heavens, why'd August have to revert to being a 7-year old? On the other hand I love seeing what became of the Enchanted Forest, and the development of Henry and Regina's relationship. And I'm looking forward to their reinterpretation of Peter Pan. I know they're currently under a lot of heat for making him evil, but seriously, if anyone's read the book by J. M. Barrie you'll see that the original (non-Disneyfied) Peter was actually somewhat sociopathic. My hopes for season 3 are 1.) it won't be cancelled mid-season, 2.) Belle will be able to distinguish herself instead of being primarily Rumple's love interest and 3.) Rumplestiltskin won't die, simply because he's my favorite character and honestly, he won't be able to atone for his mistakes and crimes if he dies.
