While watching the finale last week I kept trying to figure out who the random lady Emma saved was. I wondered if it might have been Odette from The Swan Princess (the title screen for the second half had a swan and I couldn’t figure out if it was for Emma or Odette, and the way Emma was dressed in the white gown and blue cloak resembled Odette – also, Rothbart would be a baller villain!) but my heart completely shattered for Regina at the end with the big reveal.

Am I worried about Elsa coming in? Yes, a little. I hope they’ll stay as true to her character as much as possible and limit her past-involvement with the other characters – please no cousins twice-removed. It would be nice to make her merely someone Rumplestiltskin knew a long time ago. Of course, knowing Horowitz and Kitsis that’s highly unlikely, but it would be really refreshing to have an entirely new, stand alone character with a past that’s not entwined with the entire Enchanted Forest.
