I don't get why Hook is mad at Emma. She saved his life, he should be thanking her. Also she didn't make him a dark one, HE made himself a dark one. He didn't have to turn evil, Merlin had that same darkness in him for a thousand years and never turned evil. It is more that Emma forced this burden onto Hook, when he just wanted to die in peace. Also, she wanted to kill another person to keep him alive. That would not save their future, as it is just Emma being selfish. Merlin warned her that if she does it, the only way to defeat the Darkness would be to pay a steep price. There are no shortcuts for something like this, which is what Emma was trying to do. She was just looking for an easy way out.

It is similar, to what happened between Gold and Belle, last season. Emma thought she could keep the truth from Hook, just like Gold did with Belle. Both hide the truth out of love, but their lovers were left feeling betrayed. But then why didn't Merlin become a Dark One when Zelena tethered the sword to him, I feel like wanting to control him is worse than Emma trying to save her true love, or did he not become a Dark One because he was already connected to Excalibur, but what Emma did was take away Merlin's immortality and give it to Hook
