With the number of babies already on the show (currently at 3, with at least 1 more on the way), I could see the writers having some fun with Nursery Rhymes and the babies. Of course, most of that would have to be a C, or even D, plot line, since there are very few nursery rhymes worthy of higher attention. Bo Peep was handled reasonably well, and they could do twists on "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" and the Sandman (he's an easy mark).

Personally, I'd love to see some time devoted to the stories you listed in Land of Adventure (Both the High seas and Across the field). And it was those stories that were the most prominent in the easter egg scene in the LUS, as well as the pictures seen in the book that Henry found. (Side question: Did Henry actually manage to maintain possession of Once Upon a Time, Volume II?).

A certain amount of the Horror genre could be done well, but I'm just personally not a huge fan of that particular genre. And the show could easily give a nod to the Land of Mystery without actually casting Sherlock Holmes or any of the other characters. With Emma as the Sheriff (and a trained bail bonds person), you could easily script an episode or 2 that are straight up mysteries. They did that back in Season 1 with Kathryn Nolan.
