No hate or anything, but without Rumple (Robert Carlyle said this is his last season) or the possible returning guests there isn't much original Once, are the newbies enough to carry the whole show? I'm pretty sure Eskaver also said that the returning trio is overshadowing the newbies. This has been a pretty good season, it could end Once well, like season 6 could have, but I liked the idea of a Henry centric reboot so I wanted to see how it was, now the curiosity is almost over, it could work well as a single season story. I think we have to see how they leave this season. If they wrap most things, like they did with Wonderland, then it could be decent, but if they leave a bunch of open plot threads, it will be a bad way to end. Right now, it seems like they have a lot going on, so I kind of hope it gets an 8th season, but that if the network wants to end it, they tell them up front, so the whole season can be crafted knowing they have to wrap everything up. I like this too, just announce that there is a final season, maybe shorter. I'm not sure I like the idea though, if there is no Carlyle and Kane, and probably O'Donoghue. I'd imagine a final season would include many actors from previous seasons, at least in a guest capacity. I could even see them getting Jen (Emma) back for an episode or two. It would be great if they market a potential 8 as the final season, like what is done with other shows, because that prepares the fans for the end and the storylines tend to be more polished, considering there is only one season left. That is what I'm thinking as well. I worry that if they try to end in Season 7, 721 and 722 are going to be a hot mess, trying to tie up all this season's storylines, plus show Snow, Charming, Emma, Hook, etc.

Networks aren't above cancelling a show and leaving the story in a cliffhanger. It could happen. While A&E probably will receive an early warning if OUaT is cancelled, there's no guarantee that that'll happen.
