There are several plot holes that I feel need to be addressed in Season Three. As much as I love the show, I do agree with several assertions that the creators have changed Once into a show that leaves too many loose ends in a show with too many characters. As Season Two is fast coming to an end, here are some plot holes that I hope they address in Season Three.

- Regina's connection to Ariel. In "Skin Deep", Regina stormed into Rumple's palace and stated she needed his help with a certain mermaid. Said mermaid has yet to appear on the show.

- Leroy and Astrid. This is a plot hole that needs to be addressed. What has Astrid been doing all this time in Storybrooke that she and Leroy have not met again?

- Backstories, backstories, backstories. Several characters have yet to have had their backstories explored. I want to know more about Mulan, Aurora, and the Dragon in particular.

- Whatever happened to Maleficent? We know that Kitsis and Horowitz mentioned that when Maleficent was killed in Season One's finale, a body was not seen. Which seems to hint that Maleficent has been alive during Season Two. But where has she been all this time?

Another thing I hope happens in Season Three is that we get less characters and more quality. I do hope for some more appearances by Robin Hood and possibly Sidney Glass. The two stories we were promised in Season Two that ended up not happening, the Little Mermaid and Aladdin, are the two that I hope we end up getting. There was at some point rumors floating around that Naveen Andrews was possibly going to play Jafar, so I hope that comes to pass. With Cora gone, Regina possibly losing powers, Rumple possibly going to the side of good, and Hook's fate uncertain, we need to have another major villain, and I think Ursula or Jafar would fit the bill. Also, I hope Tamara dies in the season finale. Sorry, but Tamara and Greg and their magic taser do not bring anything to the table.
