Ok, first of all, I am going to put one spoiler out there regarding the camelot arc, or at least the characters. The creators have confirmed that at least Merida will show up again in the back half, so the fact that there was no conclusion to the Camelot arc should not be a reason to despise the episode. They did not complete the arc, because they aren't done with it. So to everyone complaining that they did not wrap up the arc, be patient, and assume that maybe, just maybe, they might have more to do with that.

In fact, I find it interesting that people complain about not seeing something when the show is still running. Wait until the series is completed, and THEN complain if there is something that was not properly tied up. A loose end is just a possibility for a story later on. It is only a LOST opportunity once the series is completed.

Ok, soapbox aside.

Now an interesting observation. Gold is the Dark One again with the Dagger, however Emma killed Killian with Excalibur. So shouldn't she technically be a Dark One as well, with MERLIN's Darkness (and maybe Killians). I think Gold lied when he said he had Emma's and Killian's Darkness. So there are, in my opinion, still 2 dark ones. with Emma being more the new Sorcerer (unless Merlin shows up again).
