For sure, I saw the similarity between the "let's link hands together and override the fury's power" and what was done in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. For those who didn't see the movie, the idea of how to get rid of the fury might've seemed cool and inventive, but to me, it felt like a recycled idea, lol.

I enjoyed Emma revealing to Regina that it was her price to pay, but then it fell flat to me after it was learned in flashback that Emma was the one who knew about the price, but she never even asked Regina for it because she didn't want to. In that sense, I felt irked because that gave me the perception that the present day Emma blaming Regina for the unpaid price was unfair because it was partially Emma's fault in the first place that Regina didn't pay the price. That made Regina's "What I should have done in Camelot in the first place" comment when she sacrificed herself to the fury make even less sense to me because in Camelot six weeks ago, she didn't know about the price anyway since Emma didn't tell her. Unless the next episode or two proves Regina did know and refused to pay it.

David's comment about talking to Arthur about the Dark One *during* the journey to Camelot felt like a continuity error, to be honest. When David tells Arthur at the Merlin tree that they need Merlin to help their people defeat the Dark One, my perception is Arthur reacts almost as if he's hearing David mention the Dark One for the first time in conversation.

The scene where Emma kisses Hook after using her dark powers to save Robin felt creepy and I had trouble understanding the point of it. The scene appeared to be implying that Emma got some sensual feelings from using her dark powers, and that bled into her interactions with Hook because that was her way of reacting to what she was feeling in a non-verbal way. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding...

I enjoyed the scene with Regina and Percival dancing. As he was telling her the story, I was glued to his every word. I kept wondering if he was getting at something about the fury because I assumed the angel of death was the fury, but then it was a nice surprise at the end that he was actually referring to Regina.
