I loved the ending!! A very nice way to begin indicating the subject of 5B, for those who didn't already hear.

But since they now have a means to bring back the dead, surely this opens up so many doors? Gold will be selling bottles of his blood and finally have a use for his shop! People will be wanting to bring back their loved ones from the lake. Obviously this won't happen, so something must either happen to the portal or to Gold.

And I'm beginning to wonder if the cliffhanger of this half of the series is something to do with sending the Dark Ones back to the Underworld, and the heroes getting sucked in too so they can meet Hades ... but also I'm wondering if this means we can see Baelfire again if just for one episode?

Also I loved the touch of Nimue stepping out of the lake since I'm pretty sure she was the Lady of the Lake in the original legend, ties in nicely with the whole crocodile thing, even if the Lady is someone else in OUAT. Also the perfect way that King Arthur and Greek mythology coincide ... both involve a boat carrying the dead on to the afterlife.

I have a feeling the Gods, who gave the Dark Ones their power through the HG, will have a hand in stopping them, or at least this may be how Hercules makes his appearance.

Definitely excited to see how OUAT portrays my favourite mythology, now they've almost finished my second favourite, although I hope to the gods they'll still find some clever way of redeeming Hook after all...
