Anna was not corrupted when she had it.

And even more, Gideon had the dagger today and he used it to control Gold and after that he returned it. He was not corrupted by the dagger. Actually he gave it back willingly And I believe Belle has had the dagger several times? Belle has held and used it a few times, all of them because of desperation. To save Anna (fake dagger), to save Hook and stop Rumple's lies, to save Gaston. All led her down more sadness, more pain, and even a casualty. As I said, they don't become obsessive over the dagger (that's just a DO thing), it's that they feel the power of dark magic. Actually just magic in general. Or maybe Belle is just sad b/c no matter how hard she tries, her marriage is ridiculous. But that is entirely different matter for a different thread.

We will definitely not agree on the Bae/dagger thing, which is totally ok. I think 8Rob and I are the minority on the writing in this episode. Look at the fan posts in the Once fb page

We not minority........ at all.

Which is sad, actually.

I tend not to follow pages on FB, so I might not get around to looking. But to hear this IS sad. I mean, no one is going to love every episode of any show.
