Hook said last week Merlin was in the tree for 30 years. Then Merlin corrected him, saying 1000. Then this episode established it was 200 years ago, when Nimue was the first Dark One. Despite Rumple and Hook both being 200-300 years old, meaning there's no way there could be all those hooded figures between Nimue and Zoso.

Oh, and didn't season 4 establish Merlin and the Apprentice were 1000's of years old? And yet Merlin's only 700, the Apprentice is somehow 200, and the only two people to have true immortality were Merlin and Nimue.

But the actual plotline was awesome. Zelena was flawless. Arthur must DIE. Emma was amazing. And Merlin was so sexy. I'd also love to know who killed Nimue to become the second Dark One. I think they meant 200 years later, probably a typo and that will get clarified later.

1000 years ago (roughly) Merlin escaped from something and became all powerful

800 years ago He finds an Apprentice and meets Nimue

How Appreny (who still has no name) lived that long beats me.

I would love to see who killed Nimue. Chances are someone grabbed her dagger (XD) and she tripped and fell on it. Can't see it any other way. This would be good, except Merlin made mention of living 500 years to Nimue. I think they just messed up the math (as usual), and it should have said 500 years ago for the meeting Nimue part.
