So if they know that there will still be *some* fans who will stick around for anything to do with Regina, Hook, or Rumple, it might be more appealing to renew OUAT for a 10-13 episode final run in the fall until American Idol premieres, A reduced episode order, is the only way S7 would not be a complete disaster.

On a seperate note.... why is American Idol returning? ABC seems to be venturing out. I thought American Idol was on a downturn, so ABC is doing some weird stuff. If Idol tanked on ABc, I'd start thinking that ABc is cursed.

I think they could do a 22 episode season. I think 13 is more likely and if it is a success, then great. I actually think with a fresh start they can do better. Wonderland (though in a kill slot) was a better quality story compared to much of recent Once.
