I don't want to bog down the thread with the Dark Curse, but it is sort a display of the show's faux nostalgia.

The Dark Curse has small deviations until season 5, which in my opinion ruined the oomph the Dark Curse had left. It's setup was "Hook wants to get to Storybrooke, so he chooses the most impractical choice and makes no sacrifice at all."You can say, "But David's still alive", but there was build up and emotion over David's "death". Hook killed someone he didn't care about, using someone noone cared about, to kill Merlin who was around briefly, and that was the end of that. All these deviations they call loopholes, fails to cover-up the holes they create.

So, if season 7, Henry and the SBers are somehow Dark Cursed into Seattle, will we really go "Ooooh and Aaahh." In a show where Dark Curse was pivotal, we've seen it cast in season 1, 3, 5, and 6. I'm pretty sure that's overdoing it. Can it really create nostalgia when we see it almost every single year?
