Treasue Island

[Cut for space]

I coudn't put every single story the show hasn't done on this list, but these are ones they haven't done yet and I could see the show doing. After all ANYONE could show up now. Goldilocks is going to be in Season 6, we think, and Treasure Island was adapted in Season 5. We had a ship captain named Silver, a mutiny, and treasure. All things important in that story. The rest of your list, I agree with, and hopefully we will see several of them in Season 6. What makes you think we'll be seeing Goldilocks? I know there was a Captain Silver, but was he Captain LONG JOHN Silver? Sorry my list was so long, just trying to think of what else they can do. Also if the Three Little Pigs do ever show up they should have a connection to Ruby Well, Captian Silver fit personality wise to Long John Silver, and other aspects of Treasure Island (like treasure and a mutiny) were there. Besides would they really name a character Captain Silver, if they didn't intend for him to be Long John Silver?

For the Goldilocks thing, I'll post on your wall, as it is a spoiler, and we are in a spoiler free zone. Would they name a character Captain Silver, and not intend it? Perhaps. The reference is clearly ambiguous. We can say that they have a reference for Treasure Island, and I feel relatively confident that the refernence to TI is intentional. But they (the writers) are also free to go back and add Long John as a separate character later on if they so desire, since they never actually revealed the Captain's full name. It could go either way. It isn't just that his name is Captain Silver though. Other aspects of the story are there. Is it a loose adaptation, sure, but I still see it as an adaptation.
