'''I'm not so sure Rumple getting back into magic is a good idea. At least not right away. It would take a LONG time for him to truly be worthy of that job.'''

2. More of Henry with his powers as Author. (Even though he broke the quill, he is still the Author).

'''This would be interesting. I imagine the Apprentice could have repaired the quill after Henry broke it, so I'm sure he'll have it when we come back for Season 5. There is one thing I hope is clarified. If the Author can't write his own story, how will Henry be able to write about the continuing lives of Regina, Emma, ect, without including himself?'''

3. The Quest for Camelot. (soiunds like an appropriate name for the search for Merlin)

Indeed.

4. Episodes that feature each of the Main Characters, and them utilizing their particular strengths to move the plot to the next chapter. This includes Belle and Henry. (I think Jared showed some real growth in that finale).

'''This would be nice, but they would have to make the entire Season a single arc, rather than a split one. It feels to rushed and forced when the Season's are split into two arcs.'''

5. some fallout from Isaac's meddling. Everyone obviously remembers the events that happened. How is that going to affect them? For instance, Regina and Snow walking in each others shoes for a brief period, Hook dealing with being a coward, etc.

'''This, without a doubt. I'd be unwise to have the characters act like everything is back to normal, as if nothing happned. Regina now knows what Snow felt all those years ago, and vice versa.'''

6. Snow with Magic. (one side effect of Isaac's meddling that was unforseen is that Snow is now equal to the others in terms of magic).

Maybe not equal to the others, but maybe there can be some residual magic left over that she discovers she still has at some point.

7. Dark One Backstory.

I'm almost certain we're getting this one.

8. Some recurring characters returning (Red, Whale, Mulan, Tink, Jefferson, Archie). I know that the actors all have other commitments, and it would not necessarily be feasible, but it doesn't change the fact that is what I want to see. (As the Rolling Stones said, "You can't always get what you want")

'''Unless it partains to the main plot, or the ongoing side plots, they really don't need to do this. Things get complicated as it is, esp if they are doing a split Season with two arcs again.'''

9. Resolution for Will's character, and Ana making a guest appearance on the show. (Maybe part of the quest for Camelot can lead through Wonderland).

'''I understand a lot of people want this, but from someone who never watched OUaTIW, focusing on these characters feels like pure fan service and as such, feels like it's taking up screen time that could be utilized to further the main plot. I wish they hadn't even brought Will onto the show at all.'''

10. More story for Lily, and who her Father is. (obvious setup for a future story there, let's see where that goes).

'''I was actually surprised they even brought up LIlly's dad in the finale. I figured they were just going to ignore it altogether.'''
