I disagree with that last sentiment, simply because it the writers' show, and they get to make those kinds of decisions, ya know? I mean, we're getting Frozen simply because Kitsis and Horowitz like the film. XD I feel like they fit the characters in well, and use individual characters as needed. The only time I've ever really found a character pointless was Nova/Astrid and the "Dreamy" episode. ....I could have gone on just fine without that bit XD

Yeah, I get what you're saying. They usually are able to fit in minor characters pretty well, but there have been some for me that just didn't seem needed.
