It wouldn't be a surprise to me if season 5 opens with a time jump of several years where Emma is no longer the DO and we're all left wondering how the hell they did it! Which we'll learn as the season mvoes on.

They did this on Lost when they introduced the flash forward. I would actually be quite pissed if they did this on OUaT...

I agree they need to span seaon 5 over several years. I mean, the previous dark ones spent huge amount of time trying to get rid of the curse themselves and used tremedeous ressources to gain information about this and yet, Emma Swan could be freed within a year? That's ridiculous.
