fenlingsWhat is happen??? The FanFare thread is helpful, but I am still so confused.
I see that the creators wrote this ep, but it was so ham-handed that I wonder if they came in at the end of all this craziness and just tried to reset as fast as possible. (Rumple = the dark one again! Zelena = back to Oz! Dark Ones = back to the underworld! Killian = good again and back in love with Emma!)
But Killian's sudden characterization switches made no sense. It would have explained everything if he had only been PRETENDING to be evil because he knew he had to steal the sword to destroy himself and the darkness. But... apparently not... He was suddenly Super Evil, and then suddenly Super Good again, for no real reason I could determine... (Dude, you're the Dark One. If you need a little of Rumple's blood to open the hell portal, just take some. No need for that weird duel business, and I can't believe he really still wanted revenge. But what WAS Dark!Killian's goal? Or all the Dark Ones' goal, for that matter? How hilarious and "The Originals" would it be if all these old Dark Ones were alive again in Storybrooke and had to learn to live as normal people in the present? But of course the show preferred to reset everything. Whatever!) Also Killian's dad flashback was so weird and pasted on??????
I got some major Buffy and Angel feels with the whole "stabbing your true love who is sane again with a sword to close a hell portal" business. But it was even lamer.
Why can only Belle leave the town?? Why can't anyone with magic find a way to LEAVE THE TOWN? I felt this way with Haven, too. Like when all your neighbors have out of control superpowers, it is time to MOVE. On a related note, where are all the normal people? Where are the townspeople that Regina ruled over in her kingdom, and then got transported to Storybrooke? I want to see them questioning the leadership of Regina/Snow/Charming for letting all this shit happen to the town - even if they have royal blood. The dwarves and Granny are always such a breath of fresh air, but we never spend enough time with them.
I would like to state again FOR THE RECORD, that we could have avoided all of this (and visited our lovely mirror universe!) if stupid Henry hadn't BROKEN THE AUTHOR PEN.
And DID Emma actually tell everyone that Rumple is the Dark One again? Because I don't think he should be okay with her telling everyone (and Belle) that...
Wait, did we ever find out what happened to the Arthurian people? Or do we just... not care...
