The Dragon was talking about a balance of dark and light, and we've seen this theme to a certain extent with Rumple and Regina. Rumple finds that it's necessary to accept the "dark" to a certain extent in order to save his loved ones, and Regina can't fully relate to her sister without her darkness. Do you think they will go even further with this theme and conclude that both light and dark are needed to balance out each other?

I'll admit that I don't know that much about this concept, so I hope I haven't misunderstood it completely. I'm interested in how they could use the concept to resolve the longstanding conflicts in this show.

Snow and Charming are seen as "good", but often they are passive when danger is imminent. Rumple, on the other hand, can always be counted on to do something when his loved ones are threatened, even if he might use bad methods.

What do you think?
