1. From last night, I see more Pinnochio in our future (partucularly with Eion Bailey set to reprise the role next week, at least in Flashback).

2. I can't wait to see more of Regina and Mal's relationship.

3. A thought occurs to me. The Dragon ("Selfless,Brave, and True"), when he made/procured/whatever the potion to restore August requested a personal item (one of Pinnochio's Strings, as I recall). Minor detail at the time, but if the Dragon becomes more imporatant to the story line, maybe the string is going to be a talisman that can be used to restore the Adult Pinnochio. (the writers are good an leaving no minor item untouched).

4. Random thought, I wonder if the Dragon (and maybe adult Pinnochio) were contacted to be agents for the Author. (Far-fetched theory to be sure). August as an agent for the author? Sure. Dragon (aka Mushu)? Probably not. I doubt we'll ever see him again... Unfortunately.
