Ok. The ideas of involving characters from Brave and Wreck-It Ralph make me sick to my stomach. I apologize if that's too harsh, too mean, but it's true, because it just reflects what I think is wrong with the show nowadays, especially now that Frozen is going to be covered. In season 1, the series focused on FAIRYTALES and added passing references to the Disney movies. Now they do Disney movies with passing references - if any - to the fairytales. Little Mermaid, anyone? The fact that they're doing Frozen, and not The Snow Queen with hints of Frozen, is really a bad notion for me, one that's hard to swallow. Anyway...

Rumple IS a villain. He's just a likeable one and a core character. I don't think Walsh is meant to be alive, didn't his monkey self die in 3.12 when he fell off the building? He poofed up, I know, which could mean any number of things, but yeah, I really don't think they will ever focus much on the Wizard of Oz story again.

Ursula becoming a recurring character is a really long shot. I think there's a chance we won't ever see her again. As for Will being a villain, that would be really bad. :/ He was so much fun in the spin-off.

As for Maleficent: yes. To everything you say. She is the most likely candidate, because of the movie that's just coming out. I am almost positive the writers will draw ideas from the movie because that's just kinda what they do. Which is fine. I also was a never a fan of the way she was portrayed. To me, it was a poor casting decision. And characterization in general. Maleficent is a very sidelined and crappy character on this show, and I have been waiting forever for her to be given focus, a backstory and awesome stuff to do. When she was "killed off" in the first season finale I was like... seriously?! :| I absolutely want her to come back and attack Regina.

The Queen of Narnia is also a wonderful idea, and I truly hope they incorporate it into this Snow Queen arc.
