I like the idea of Maleficent's ashes landing in Lake Nostos. :) I had always envisioned Maleficent's ashes somehow ending up in the well at Storybrooke, since that's like the LWM equivalent of Lake Nostos, but I hope we find out. Maleficent as a Season 4 villain would be great, but I doubt they'd do it this year, with Maleficent coming out in theaters this year.

I'm going to bring up the possibility that it might be a similar case to Smee's. He was turned into a rat in Storybrooke (not the curse's doing, but Rumplestiltskin's however), and when he returned to the EF he was human. Then, when he was taken back to Storybrooke, he was still human. I can see how this wouldn't be the case with Maleficent because the Dark Curse trapped her in dragon form and she also died, but the spell over the underground caves kept her alive in some form. I keep hoping that her Season 2 appearance in "The Evil Queen" didn't intend for any closure over Maleficent's storyline.

Her actress is a major character in True Blood, but that's finishing up this year so who knows. I would love to see more Maleficent in this show, as most of us would.
