PS: Did Rumple really want to rule the world, or did fans just assume that was what it was? Plans can go awry, as they seem to do often in Once (Look at Will!)

Yeah, Rumple said himself that he nothing would protect the world from him. Now, if his heart was complete darkness and that was THE DARKNESS speaking then okay, but it wasn't lol. My biggest objection to that is the fact that he was planning on going to the land without magic after he had cleaved himself from the dagger. Also, if I remember right, Storybrooke was going to be destroyed forever. So no more magic, ever. That would have left him pretty harmless. Maybe he was just spouting hot air.
