If anyone cares to entertain,  why the Dark One darting around like Flash? Superspeed? But why when it can teleport?

It's hilarious because it was so random. Then it doesn't excuse the lack of good reflexes by Rumple. But more importantly, why?

Another thing is that it seems that to me that my thoery that The DO is Merlin's lover, as they didn't have the heart to kill each other and they hid the name, but what's with the press release saying Vortigan and not have him actually be mentioned by name.

So either that was misleading or the person we saw (who was relatively short) was actually Vortigan who killed Merlin's beloved. (Merlin should have just poofed away and stopped being dramatic. Just handing the dagger over and letting himself be tree-ified.)
