Hey everybody, I wanted to talk to you guys about what I think is the worst thing ever about the show: Killian Jones becoming the Dark One. It just worked very poorly and it ruined the whole Dark Swan arc. That arc had so much potential and I think the first 7 episodes were GREAT. With episode 8 "Birth" everything changed. Having two dark ones was just a bad idea. When Killian discovers he has been the Dark Ones the whole time he suddenly becomes evil, how is that even possible?

I honestly would have finished the arc in a different way: when Killian was about to die, Emma (desperate) tries to summon the God of Death begging him to save him. So Hades first appearance would have been in ep 8. He saves Hook, but in exchange she has to do something for him: use her dark powers to kill Zelena so that she would have gone to the Underworld and Hades could have been with her. Who would have cast the curse? Nimue. Since Nimue is some sort of spirit, she could have taken possession of Merlin and crushed his heart.

In Storybrooke Emma would have had to kill Zelena until a certain time or Hook would have died and his soul brought to the Underworld. Killian discovers her plan, he knows that if she kills someone there's no going back from there, so at the end he sacrifices himself and dies. The trip to the Underworld would have made much more sense this way imo.

Also in my opinion killing Robin off was also a bad idea which ruined the season: they could have made us believe he was death making him disappear in the air when Hades hits him the Olympian Crystal but somehow he had just moved to a different land.

Season 5 is the worst for me, with these changes it could have been so much better I believe.

What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments:)
