Things I think would make OUAT jump the shark:

Non-traditional fairy tale stuff - It's already on the edge with One flew over the Coo Coo's Nest references in the psych ward, and gothic horror via Frankenstein. (be really bad if they do a Halloween special with the crew from the Monster Mash (Dracula & vampires, The Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, invisible man, etc...).

Introduce Sci-Fi -  I absolutely hate Magic vs Advance Technology stuff.

Alternative Universe - Where they switch gender roles or good & evil (imagine seeing Regina and Snow with full beards.... ewww)

Overt Religion - I understand a lot of the fairy tales (especially Arthurian legends) come with a heaping dose of Christianity (or Islam)... But to incorporate the Omen, Noah, 10 Commandments, The Devil's Advocate type movies would just make OUAT suck.

Cross-overs - I am fairly sure we're not going to see this, But I would NEVER want to see OUAT crossover with Buffy, Charmed, Grimm, Supernatural, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, etc.
