I don't think the shadow was a bad guy in the begining of all of this. I think it was Malcom's obsession to live his dreams of flying corupted the shadow. I would not surprise me if the shadow was actually Dream, or Nemo. The shadow is doing all of this to keep neverland alive, not really Peter Pan, but the land it's self.

As for the next Big Bad there are many possibilities, though it would have to fit around a theme. This current season was the power of believing. More likely season four will be about forgivness. (rumple forgiving his father, nealfire forgiving rumple, regina& snow, and more) Now for a big bad I can see it become Hook, mainly because he wants his happily ever after and believes that it's Emma and he cannot forgive himself if he were to loose his chance at love again. It actually bothers me that they are not using King George for anything, it's almost as if the character disapeared off the face of the universe. I would love to see him betray them all by coming out to the general public that there is a fairy tale town in Maine.
