To be honest, I was kinda wishing Belle would be the Dark One and not Emma, because that would force the viewers to pay attention to her for once and it would actually be quite the twist, considering that most people see her as a spineless push-over who incessantly forgives everyone. Imagine having the source of all evil inside her.

I've hated this Emma-becoming-dark plotline. It's crap, imo. It ruined Snow and Charming forever in my eyes, and it made Lily even more awful considering that she whined to Emma when they were kids about how her life was horrible even though she had a boyfriend and a family and Em had nothing and now she goes and calls her mom a weak push-over for not destroying the people who stole her child from her. Like, what the heck is her problem? She's such a brat, ugh. The existence of her character is pointless.

Emma wasn't necessarily dark for becoming grumpy after she found out the horrible things her parents did and then killing someone for holding a gun to her son's head. I'm not impressed. OUAT has a terrible definition of evil at this point.
