One thing. All of these ideas are good. But Once has managed to do some 'little' things to set up the next villian well before any finales, and if I understood what I have heard correctly, they have already done a little hinting at the next arc.

From Season 1, we had just the briefest hint of Cora with the Stable Boy. And for the NL arc, there were a few scenes that hinted at this before the last 2 episodes (unfortunately, there was a great scene that ended up on the cutting room floor with Neal showing Henry to navigate the Jolly Roger and in this there was also a (not so) subtle hint of neverland as well.

And remember that the pilot episode showed the book open to a page with flying monkeys, plus I think there were other passing references to Oz along the way.

All of this to say that, I would guess, we have already been introduced to the concept of the next villian. And if that is the case, My guesses would be for


 * The Black Fairy / Maleficent. (I still think they are one and the same, but if not, that is 2 villians)


 * Morgan le Fay and Camelot (we've already had Lancelot and Excalibur)


 * Jafar? - I would like to see an Alladin arc, with Genie and Jafar (and maybe a princess Jasmine character), and Agrabah has been introduced, but he was also in OUaTiW, so maybe not?


 * Ursula/Triton - I think we may be done with Ariel, but then again maybe not. Though I would not want to be Hook if she does show up again.
