Erebus Elysium wrote: Well, the creators of the show DID promise us an appearence from both Aladdin and Ariel, and they kept alluding to a "mermaid" in Skin Deep and Into the Deep, and although I can see Ariel making the deal with Rumpelstiltskin for legs in exchange for the ink, I'd think adding ANOTHER indirect character allusion onto him (as Rumpelstiltskin, the Beast and the Crocodile) will just get repetitive.

I wouldn't say "promise". They said they'd like to use those characters, not that they absolutely would appear, or when.
