Only because Emma being Dark One which was held by centuries before by Rumple and for decades by Rumple and Emma onl having it for a month or two would be totally lame.

I say that they may have 7 seasons planned, but they are really hyping this season up a bit more in a way that screams final season. Trust me, Once is the type of show that would promote that it was doing its final season from the get go, if not outright then with less then subtle hints. Things like "the final battle is about to begin" or "are our heroes finally going to get their happy endings?" Basically, we'll all know when it's the final season. You're being too optimistic. Most shows don't know what season is going to be last season at the beginning of th season. The only way for them to know it is if abc gives a notice that the season is the last or if they decide it. Therefore, we wouldn't know if the fifth season is the final season. That's a show that gets cancelled by the network. ABC is too invested in Adam and Eddy and this show (and its Disney cross promotion) to not give them a heads up, so they can have a season to wrap the story up nicely. Honestly, I think Adam and Eddy will say they want a final season before the network forces their hand though. What makes you think that abc is more invested in Once than any other of their shows. Once is just like any other show on abc. It doesn't have special privileges just because it's your favorite show. I didn't say this is the only show they are invested in, they are also invested in any of the Marvel shows, as well as any Shondaland shows (which right now all air on Thursday night). There are clear indications that ABC is more invested in these shows, not the least of which is the time and money they spend promoting them.
