But what if, after dealing with the Dark One and the UW in 5B, Season 6 goes back to dealing with Character development and the "Inner Darkness". Regina, Gold, Killian, and Emma all have a lot of inner darkness to address. (Emma looks like she enjoyed the taste of Darkness a bit too much when she confronts Gold in "Swan Song"). If they could do it without destroying the characters, I'd like to see one arc that is simply an overflowing of all the inner angst from all the characters, and see the characters going head to head. (Regina vs Zelena, Regina vs Gold, Emma vs Gold, Emma vs Regina, Killian vs Gold, Killian vs Regina, Regina vs Snow, Snow vs Charming, Belle vs Gold, Belle vs Regina, Belle vs Killian, Robin vs Zelena, Robin vs Regina). Everybody has someting against everybody, and at some point, once the external threats take a break, the inner threats will finally arise. You can only push those feelings aside for so long before they boil over. I think a return of the Shattered Sight spell might be needed for that.
