7)Snow’s Dark Heart
I get the feeling we haven’t seen the last of Snow’s dark heartI agree, the “conclusion” we got sounded awfully similar to the prophecy one, as in they gave an emotional closure for the season by having Snow acknowledge that she wronged Regina and atone for that by refusing to build a future on her blood, but that hardly seems like the end of the storyline. They’ve hinted at Snow’s dark side since season one with Heart of Darkness, I’m willing to bet this is an element that’ll last for the remaining of the series.
And it’s comprehensible. Both Charming and Snow as characters and their relationship as a whole are so pure, idealized, this source of all goodness that they border quite a bit on the Mary Sue trope. It’s acceptable for their past lives in FTL as they ARE fairy tale characters, but in present day they need to have more complexity in their lives or their story becomes stale. Snow’s inner darkness accomplishes that in a way much better than adding another love interest for either of them, which would be totally out of character for both to go for it, not to mention it’d break one of the foundations of show, the power of true love. And frankly, I’d be quite a feat to come completely unscathed psychologically from being hunted down mercilessly by Regina for years.
[adrotate group="5"]Often times, the reason that we no longer see particular characters is the lack of availability of the actors, but for some of them- like Kathryn and Fredrick or Cinderella and Prince Thomas- there also just isn’t any more to tell. They found their happy endings.

I completely agree. The Curse was broken, they’re living their new happy ending and I don’t need to see them anymore. It was fine in S1 when were establishing how the Curse worked and how it affected people but after A Land Without Magic, I don’t need to see anymore of them.

About the magical hat, I think the better question is, how was the original one created? Jefferson apparently had no hand in that, or he’d have created one for Cora when he was stuck in Wonderland. Was it Rumple who did it, or someone else?
Yes! Really hope they get the chance to tell that story at some point. If it was something that Rumple had created, you’d think that Cora would have known how to do it, and she didn’t. Also, if Rumple knew how to make himself a magical portal hat, he wouldn’t have needed to employ Jefferson to go realm jumping for him. I’d love to know how one finds themselves working in Jefferson’s profession.

1) Kathryn
I think I’m the only person who doesn’t *care* what happened to her.Not just you. She served her purpose to the story and ended up back with the guy she was meant to be with. Sure, it might have been nice to see a scene where they reunited in SB, but I don’t consider it a big deal that we never got that kind of closure.

4)Philip is alive
This isn’t a dropped story. We’re going to get it in S3It’s one of my pet peeves when people class something as a plothole when it’s quite obviously just something they haven’t gotten around to showing yet. This is why I haven’t even read the article linked to, because I’m sure about half of it will just irritate me.
“all five favorite characters and prince Charming” lol!!
WHY DID REGINA LOCK BELLE UP???????they never addressed that storyline and it’s the only thing that drives me insane!! 😡
Why did Regina lock Belle up? Because Belle was the one thing she had over Rumple. When Belle didn’t break the curse on Rumple (but proved she had the power to–that he loved her), she became a weapon. If Regina ever felt threatened by Rumple, she had something he wanted–and wanted very very much even if he wouldn’t admit it–that she could use to get her way. Of course, Belle was also a very dangerous weapon to have in her possession, since the DO doesn’t take lightly to his things being stolen or his TL being imprisoned. That meant that it was essential to keep Belle locked up, and presumably with some serious security at that. Using Belle against Rumple (by either trading or killing her, the latter of which is what Rumple presumed was Regina’s plan in 201) had to be done very delicately not to backfire.
And in 217 we see that Regina almost assumed Rumple would find a way to not be completely under the curse (a good assumption, really), despite her telling him in 102 that he wouldn’t remember a thing. She knows he’s crafty and she picked up on it almost right away (though it took a couple months to confirm it) when he woke up early from the curse (due to Emma’s name). Having even a cursed Belle roaming around free was a huge risk–and deprived her of her weapon. Even giving Belle another name would have been a risk, because Rumple’s good with names, and that would explain why Belle was a nobody with no past in the asylum, instead of Lacey.
Plus, my headcanon is that Belle was a problematic prisoner, cuz she’s smart. Between that and the risk of Rumple finding her, Regina had to keep Belle securely locked up.
