S2 -Grumpy and Nova Reunion -Seeing where Abigail and Frederick ended up (could have easily slotted into "We Are Both") -Cora and Rumple flashback detailing the "Battle" between them that Rumple "Almost lost" (could slot into "Into the Deep") -Seeing how Mulan and Aurora saved Phillip -Giving Ruby a 2B storyline (a nice one could have been her budding relationship with Dr Whale) -Letting Dr Whale travel back to the Land Without Colour to find out what happened to Gerhardt (In my head, a cool plot oppourtunity would have been to have Ruby steal a magic bean for Whale at the end of the season, then the two of them try to sort out Gerhardt in the Land Without Colour, in a plotline which carries over to S3 where Dracula is the main villain.)

S3A -Showing Baelfire's proper backstory as a Lost Boy (His life on Neverland, meeting Tinkerbel, Pan, Felix, Escaping Neverland) -Showing Hook and Pan's "deals" in the past, and why Pan let Hook go in the end to the LWM (In my head, it is bc he wanted Rumple dead, as a threat to his power, and sent Hook to assassinate him) -Showing how Pan got his prophecy scroll, the Shadow's backstory, and how Pan became evil (Again, in my head he somehow got it from Merlin) -Showing how Tink got to Neverland -Having "Heart of the Truest Believer" encompass Home Office flashbacks which explained Tamara's motivations for hating magic, how Greg and Tamara joined, and what Pan's aims in "destroying magic" were. -Having a small Darling Family flashback in "Dark Hollow" which detailed how Wendy, and then John and Michael got to Neverland and became enslaved to Pan.

S3B and S4A

-I honestly can't think of anything they MISSED here (but ofc there's a lot I'd change, but that's not the thread. -Maybe some more backstory on Walsh, but other than that they're good tbh.

S4B -I honestly think this half of S4 was missed oppurtunity central -The oppurtunity to do a full Sleeping Beauty/Maleficent Arc Including (Briar Rose, Maleficent's origins, Aurora and Mal having animosity in Storybrooke, Aurora taking the Sleeping Curse Willingly) -LILY'S FATHER -The Author's FULL backstory (not the crappy two scene flashback we got in 4x21. I want to see his past, with his FULL motivations, and also have the reason why the book randomly shows up being explained.) -Having Maleficent be Little Red Riding Hood and vice versa in the Heroes and Villains book. Also might've been nice to see Ariel as a Sea Monster trying to wreck Hook's ship at sea, before Ursula (as a mermaid) distracts her. ​​​​
