I would love for the entire season 5 to be centered on Camelot with Morgan Le Fay and Madam Mim as villains. I like the idea many people are conjuring about the whole Sorcerer/Author plot leading to Camelot, especially if Merlin really is the sorcerer (I guess he's taking Yen Sid's place a la Rumple and the original Beast). Throughout the show whenever Camelot, the lady of the lake or the sword is mentioned, Arthur's name never pops up (Merlin was hinted at by Charming), even on the Lancelot episode in S2, mention was made of the round table, but never Arthur, or even a hint. This leads me to believe that something went terribly wrong during the fallout of Arthur's story in the EF. Robin Hood  and maybe Charming could be the only ones to have a connection to Arthur.

It's a stretch, but I think it would be really cool if Arthur lives in the LWM. Much like Neal ended up here, but he doesn't know who he is. Sometime during his reign, Morgan Le Fay cursed him to LWM (if she is the original Dark One, she would have powers beyond the dagger given that its magic isn't from the EF) without his memories and with a new life. Much of the season could be a wild goose chase to find Arthur, bring him to Storybrooke and convince him that he is King Arthur of the original legend. He'll somehow end up believing through Henry. Make Excalibur a tool of magic that only works through Arthur.

Otherwise, I think it would be an interesting route to take if someone from Whale's world like Dracula or Mr. Hyde becomes the villain of the second half, if next season will be split into two again. I'd love to see A&E explore classic European literature, bring in the Wolfman, Sweeney Todd, etc. It'll give the show a breath of fresh air.
