[[WMG: Regina got exactly what was coming to her]]
* So the wish to give the Queen exactly what was coming to her caused Giideon to come to Storybrooke and turn her into a snake. Now consider that Regina and the Evil Queen are the same person. What if the wish to giv the Evil Queen exactly what was coming to her also affected Regina too? Only since it was the good part of the character, instead of doing something bad to her, it did something good to reward all the suffering she's endure. Hence Robin's return to the story seems like a lot less of an ass pull.

* Assuming it isn't Lily as theorized way above, it could be Mulan or (more likely) her mother. Since short of the child taking after the mother/appearing however she as a shapeshifter wishes to appear, it's hard to imagine a white Lily being the child of an Asian Dragon.

Basically, The Evil Queen is one part of a whole, along with Regina. As long one part lives, the other will continue to live as well. The implications of this is that Regina has to merge both parts of herself together again to stop The Evil Queen wreaking havoc. Otherwise, both parts will have to die. Another prediction is that Regina will temporarily due as a build-up towards the climax of next season.

And by the end of the arc, both Regina and Jekyll will have re-absorbed their other halves, but learned how to no longer let their evil side control them.

[[WMG: The figure from Emma's visions]]
[[spoiler: is a Dark One. Specifically, Nimue still lives within Rumple and will manipulate him to split herself off, taking his powers with her for good this time, and wants revenge on Emma for rejecting the powers of darkness. After all, truly corrupting a Savior would be a great coup for a Dark One, and Emma's overcoming such an attempt has undoubtably made Nimue very angry at her.]]

[[WMG:The Dragon isn't dead.]]
One, his alleged death is pretty anti-climactic (relatively speaking). Two, he's clearly magical himself and very likely not-human. One doubts his moniker is unrelated to his nature and given what we've seen of other Dragons, a little taser seems unlikely to hurt him in the long run. At worst, he's probably unconscious or he left his human form. Three... well, he has a lot of lines for a one-off character and as the show has shown, one-off characters - especially one-off characters with lines and some relation to the main characters - usually aren't.
*Confirmed. He's back in the S5 finale.

[[WMG: Henry knew the truth about Storybrooke way before Snow/Mary Margaret gave him the book.

Although the show's pilot implies Henry realized the truth of the curse after reading the fairytales in the book his teacher gave him, evidence exists that he knew well before then. He was probably even born with the knowledge, somehow. One episode shows baby Henry after Regina adopted him; he would cry inconsolably whenever she held him, presumably because he knew her real identity on some level. We also don't know how long Henry had been seeing Dr. Hopper before the pilot. It's entirely possible that Henry had been telling everyone in Storybrooke [[CassandraTruth the truth]] since he could talk. At first everybody thought, "He thinks fairytales are real and we're all characters; isn't that cute." But in short order it got out of hand, Regina sent him to a shrink, her emotional abuses got worse, the book came into his life, and [[HowWeGotHere well, there you have it.]]

[[WMG: There will eventually be a ''Once Upon a Time: The Next Generation.'']]

The new savior will either be [[spoiler: Charming and Snow's baby Neal, or a child Emma has with Hook.]] Other characters may include Zelena's daughter, a child Regina has with another lover [[spoiler: or Robin, if they bring him back from the dead]], Henry as a grown man in a Charming-esque role, Jefferson's daughter Paige/[[spoiler: Grace]], and others.

[[WMG: Princess Jasmine will appear, but she will be a reformed villain.]]

We haven't seen her yet, although it seems Aladdin will appear in Season 6. It's possible Jasmine will as well, and she could be a princess/reformed villain. Disney's original ''Aladdin'' script called for her to be very spoiled and unlikable, so that might be a somewhat refreshing take on her character.

;;WMG: Belle's baby will be a boy named Chip.]]

A sly wink to Disney, and in memory of the chipped cup. Of course, it could be a nickname, perhaps short for Charlie.

[[WMG: Ruby was always [[spoiler: a lesbian]].

During the first season or so, it was assumed she was [[spoiler: straight]], but Season 5B [[spoiler: confirmed otherwise.]] However, we knew she was a werewolf far before then. In this theory, Ruby's werewolf side was also a stand-in for her [[spoiler: lesbianism.]] Her fear of the wolf side of herself, the way Granny and others denied it in her, and the way she struggled with being both wolf and human, are very similar to what a lot of people go through before and during the process. As of "Child of the Moon," she considered herself [[spoiler: "out"]] but just hadn't [[spoiler: found anyone else she was attracted to.]]
**Additionally, she was once [[spoiler: attracted to Snow]], but [[spoiler: kept things platonic because she knew Snow loved Charming.]]

[[WMG: Granny is also [[spoiler: a lesbian.]]

However, unlike Ruby she may never express that. In her Storybrooke form she would not be expected to, as it would be assumed people of her generation would not act on those feelings (wrong, but possibly assumed). In her Enchanted Forest form, she may have been [[spoiler: bisexual, thus the marriage with Ruby's deceased grandfather, or she used him as the female version of a "beard."]]

Or, perhaps she did once have a relationship--with [[spoiler: Dorothy's Auntie Em.]] A painful dissolution caused them to become bitter, resulting in restaurant competition and feuding in real life. That's also why in the Underworld of Season 5, you have Auntie's Diner, not Granny's.

She was already warned [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim that if she succumbed to revenge]], she would become just as wicked as what she fought.
