Interesting thoughts! I've always thought that Darkness was the main villain or Rumple, but seeing how both are still around, I'm guessing it'll end with them. Makes no sense for progression.

Even if there were side quests, there should be a sense on where the show is going. We're essentially waiting for Rumple to change or die, which will seemingly neevr come as they take him 2 steps forward and 10 steps back. We're waiting for Regina to achieve happiness, but when she has they have her claim it's not enough, gives her even more, then takes it away (Robin). I haven't a clue what Snow/David or even Hook and Emma have left to do. Emma broke the curse already! She's not going to actively give hundreds of thousands of people happy endings, or else we'd be here until Emma moves onto Olympus.

I also made this thread, so instead of the yearly "Is this the last season?" we could consider when, or why hasn't it ended (narratively or just ended).
