Well, Black was more of a composite Villain. They probably should have ended Serum Queen around the midseason finale and dumped the Aladdin and Jasmine stuff (or at least make it take up less time).

I think Rumple defeating the Black Fairy made a little more sense if Black was the only one with magic and all Emma had was a sword. Plus, they were able to keep their "heroes don't kill" mantra.

And, Emma was the only person that received TLK. David did not. David was simply unconscious (because David's survival makes more sense than Hook's 1000 foot fall). I think Emma was more in a magic limbo than dead. Guess you can't ever snuff out the light.
