Ok, Killian (or at least someone that LOOKS like Killian) wielding Excalibur (and a full Excalubur at that) has the potential to be absolutely Epic. Since the sword has both Emma's and Killian's Names on it leads me to believe that there are no Glamour spells involved, meaning it really IS Killian weilding Excalibur (Oh, is Arthur going to be pissed). And the fact that Killian is fighting Gold once again just shows that the writers have at least a good concept of foreshadowing and continuity, despite what we all complain about to the contrary.

And, just as a reminder, this is supposed to be the Midseason Finale (if we can trust A & E, which is debateable). Which means that this may be the episode where Excalibur is reforged whole, and there may be some serious ramifications to having a whole excalibur that set up the back half of the season.
