And I saw a lot of people are concerned about Rumplestiltskin and Belle.

Why do people care so much about Rumple killed Zelena? Zelena's dead, the death of Neal avenged, all monkeys survived, and a pestilence eradicated from Storybrooke. e verybody's happy - isn't that enough? And it's not like anyone's gonna miss her anytime soon - or ever (maybe except Cora, if she's alive).Come on! Everyone is celebrating at Granny's!

One of the perks of Gold being the Dark One is that he's not the traditional heroes.

'Quote - Nyssa Al-Ghul (to Oliver Queen, coldly) ( Arrow 2x23 ): Your reticence to do whatever is necessary is exactly why this city burns. '

Gotta say, she's got a point. A BIG point.

Because Mr. Gold is not a traditional hero, he is therefore not tethered by the Code of the Traditional Heroes. This free wielder of the Force Dark Side has the one advantage that the others don't - The Fifth Freedom ( Splinter Cell ). And the key point of Fifth Freedom is that he is permitted to "disregard any law, code, agreement or framework of ethical behavior," and that "All means are acceptable" to complete his tasks. This is a rare element that only extremely few can have.

Also, from the new Marian/Robin/Regina triangle that the Savior caused by saving that past woman; Regina's danger of falling back into the Sith threshold, to the new temporal displaced Storybrooke visitor of unknown allegience... I say the death of little Greenie should be the LEAST of their worries!

Thoughts?
