Then, they explored the mythology of Dark Ones in season 5. Now, we explore the mythology of Saviors in season 6. So in a potential season 7, maybe we can explore the origins of the Dark Curse / Dark magic (or magic in general) and of True Love to loop the loop ? With the Black Fairy for main vilain, why not ? The issue is more character-wise. Plot is plot, but its pretty clear that Emma's story is coming to a close and she's the start and end of the story. It's usually not wise to drag a story on forever, like how it's not wise to end it too early.

See if you think of the next big idea, you'll always find one and many presented are wonderful. However, if you think in terms of character growth and development (which is the equal if not more important thing), there's only so much.

We can discover the intricacies of the Dark Curse, have Black/Blue Fairy as a villain, start a more futuristic season, etc, etc, but does anyone really want Rumple and Belle to break up for the fifth time, Regina consistently proclaim how terrible her life is for the twentieth time, Snow and David to do nothing like every other season, Emma and Hook to move at a snail's pace, five more babies to be born, Henry to be 25 years old still playing a preteen etc.

I'm a fan of the show, even with all it's twists and turns, but I rather it go out strong than to be subject to Dark Curse #76 (well, we are on DC #4), selective amnesia, and a host of Enchanted Forest flashbacks for five more seasons filled with the same (or similar) cyclic character arcs and plot holes.
