So now we know Rumple is being blackmailed by Zelena, who has her own side deal going with him. Wonder who the real main villain of the arc is then? They also provided a clever explanation for Robin Hood's change of appearence between seasons. I look forward to seeing how things go from here.

Now for what I didn't like:

1. Needed more Oz.

We saw it and Zelena for only a few minutes if that. Hope it comes back next season if there is one.

2. Will Scarlett

This guy bores me. It's like they'll put him anywhere. Why  couldn't they have introduced the Tinman instead?

3. Rumple's heart

I get it Once, Rumple's evil, the most evil character in the whole universe and nothing he's said and done will ever make up for it. Everyone else, no matter how vile. is a saint compared to him. Thanks for making that so obvious every chance you get this season and for bringing it to head with this bizarre afliction.

Does that mean that every Dark One before him would've died the same way if they weren't killed first? To answer your question: No. The Dark One eventually is consumed by their own darkness (lol, like Kingdom Hearts), which Rumple had magic to prevent from turning into pure darkness. He also had some light within him as well. If the darkness takes over, I doubt he'll die, just be an empty shell for darkness and no longer Rumple that we know and love-hate.
