Well for me the premiere was amazing (but I said that about 4B and look how that turned out).


 * Dark Swan- Emma being the dark swan I am kind of conflicted on. I like how she is not completely dark at the start and has Rumple guiding her.
 * Another memory loss- first was the first dark curse. then Lacey, then the second curse, then Emma/Elsa and now this. I am annoyed that they're doing this again but I guess there is no other way of doing it and it does show the flashbacks/present formula per episode so we'll just see how long it lasts.
 * Merida- I love Merida in this. I have seen Brave multiple times but I was never a huge fan of it like I am of Frozen. This seems like a complete reversal of both of those movies as I was kind of disappointed that the Frozen cast didn't grow as characters and the show didn't dare to do something really different. With Merida, they killed off Fergus which is a good start (R.I.P) so it gives her a backstory that diverts from the happy ending in Brave. But what about Elinor though??
 * Zelena- Zelena was amazing as usual. I liked how she wanted to go back to Oz with her baby because it is the only thing that would love her. I was rooting for her to go back but Regina stopped her so she stays.
 * Excalibur/Dark One Dagger- This was really interesting. while Excalibur looks awkward without the tip (it would look weird with the wavy end anyway) it is a good idea to have the evilest weapon attached to the good.
 * The rose- I liked how they introduced it. So I guess it means Blue is the enchantress from the story then.
 * Camelot- Arthur seems okay but once we get further into it, his grudge holding and controlling self will come out. Happy that Lancelot is back and I look forward to the whole Arthur/Lancelot/Guinevere love triangle. Percival looks nice and Sir Kay was a douche.

So a fun premiere and Emma was really creepy at the end (she killed Sneezy) so yay.
