Which is why I was so upset that he became the Dark One again after 5A. It would've been the perfect moment to free his character of what had become a repetitive and boring storyline by then. I love me some Rumple flashbacks, but since Season 4 I felt like a major shift had to happen to make his present self more interesting. Didn't happen. So I agree that he should be defeated somehow, find a way to erase the darkness once and for all or capture it in something else than the dagger and the human being that is attached to it. But since we're past this storyline, I don't see how this is happening.
