The point of the scene is that bad things happen to those that try to draw excalibur that are not intended to draw it. And it may very well relate somehow to the Cryptic message that the Usher gave to Young Emma.

As for named characters having 1 dramatic scene and then done, do the names Collette or Madame Faustina ring a bell? Or maybe the Blind Witch? What about Gaston? King Stefan? (I think you get my point). The weird part is how none of them seemed to care.

But that's Sir Kay, not the DO. Sir Kay is like a thousand years too late to be involved with the DO.

What does everyone think about Gorgon the invincible and other potential Dark Ones? I theorize Circe as the one prior to Gorgon the Invincible. Corgon roughly means dreadful in Greek. I theorize that Gorgon was one of Odysseus' men that landed on the isle of Circe. While he and his some of his men escape with their lives, Gorgon and a few of the men are left behind. He and the men-pigs end up with the hundreds of other men and women she turned into those pig beasts. Then, someone wishes on a star while Circe's away and Blue (or another fairy) comes down and turn them all into humans as long as they don't give into their hate. Gorgon obviously doesn't listen and he and his comrades and some others attempt to kill Circe. Upon killing her, Gorgon becomes the Dark One and he grows fearful and turns his former supporters into the Bandersnatches and banishes them across the Looking Glass. Then, since he gave into his anger and hate, he returns to his beastly form. I guess once he's an invincible pig beast, all it takes is one brave soul to pick up the dagger and kill him.
