Here is one thing that I find interesting from the Finale. We're going to end up with 2 seemingly disjointed storylines. I say seemingly, because my bet is that, before the credits roll on an Untold Story, both storylines will merge into something that reveals a direction for the season 6 premiere.

You've got Henry going rogue (which will also encompass Regina's struggles and Gold's toying with the Crystal). The main players here are Henry, Violet, Regina, Emma, and Gold. (Side note: a prediction is that violet becomes a regularly recurring character, though not main, during season 6, and is in fact slated to be Henry's love interest).

Then you have the botched portal back to Camelot. We'll have to see how that plays out, but my bet is that Merida, at least, gets stiuck in Storybrooke when the whole portal thing starts to unravel. The portal deposits others in some other land that they need to escape. The main players in this group are Snow, David, Killian, and Zelena. (I personally would not have minded seeing Merida deposited with this group as well, but

Of the 2 stories, I'm already more intested in the second one, just because of the group dynamics in play. It's going to be real interesting to watch Zelena interacting with the others on the protagonist side of the equation. I also want to see more development in David and Killian's relationship. there is some definite potential for growth with this group.
