But remember that Rumple imbued that true love potion into the dark curse in order to take advantage of what she already was. Rumple knew what Emma was, and he took the opportunity to harvest some of that power for himself. That has nothing to do with Emma and everything to do with Rumple.

Emma was not just the product of TL, because otherwise Neal, Philip, and Alex would also be uniquely special. There is more to Emma, and I think exploring the concept of what it means to be a savior could turn out to be a good thing. And as far as I can tell, they aren't saying that there are a alot of saviors out there, just that there is more than one, and that there is something special about them. You're right: Rumple said so back in S2. Well, see what I mean by "picking up pending plot points after years when they're already too cold"? XD

Think of it as filler-blocked. XD
