I want to see more actual fairy tale creatures, not just a Disney fest. I mean Rumple is not a Disney character and yet fit in perfectly with OUAT. Season 1 had Hansel and Gretel, Red Riding Hood, The Blind Witch, and Rumple which are not Disney characters and that is what made the show fun. I also liked it when we brought in the stories from the land of untold stories, Dr. Jekeyll and Mr. Hyde, the Count of Monte Cristo, Frankenstein none of which are Disney. Don’t get me wrong I understand that OUAT and Disney go hand in hand but that is not what I love about the show and when we just concentrate on the Disney portions we get crap like Jasmine and Aladdin.
The fact that they used Evil Queen instead of Regina makes me believe that they are using the EQ or EF or whatever version of Regina and not the storybrooke version. As for Hook and Rumple I have no idea why they would be in the EF but then again why is Henry in the EF. I am not crossing out the possibility that this will be WR Rumple and Hook. Although the problem with that is they won’t want Hook to be fat and drunk.
