Season One had the clear goal of the curse being broken, to set up Season Two. Season Two then introduced us to the idea of Neverland early on to set up Season Three. It leads me to believe that we have already been introduced to the theme of Season 4.

Now. Let's talk about something rather glaring about a certain character at this point in the story. It what state is Maleficent in currently? She may in fact be alive. The magic of the cave kept her alive. Undoing the curse would have dropped her in her human form in the Enchanted Forest. Her being trapped in her dragon form was a proviso of Regina's version of the curse. So she may have been sent to Storybrooke in her human form by the Wicked Witch's curse. Setting her up as a potential big bad for Season 4. Focusing on her would also give the show the time to give the answers to the mysteries associated with the Sleeping Beauty story that fans have been dying for.

Also. This is the last season for True Blood giving Kristin Bauer Van Straten a free schedule...
