Just wanted to make a post regarding the fact that I think the Dark One's Curse will have been dealt with and obliterated by the end of 5A. Emma will be the last DO, there won't be anyone to follow, and I don't think she'll die after it, either.

Why do I think this?:

Simple. If Excalibur is incomplete without the DO's dagger, and the Camelot storyline is to end with 5A, and they've made a point about a subplot involving the completion of Excalibur, I'd think there's only one way this can end.

Which, to be honest, kind of disappoints me. At first, I'm not going to lie -- My initial reaction to Excalibur's being incomplete without the DO's dagger was that that was an epic idea and whatnot. But now, considering it'll probably kill off the DO permanently, I'm kind of disappointed. I at least was hoping to see Emma stay as DO for some seasons, if not until the end of the show. I always thought it was a great plot point and especially now with Emma that a lot could be done with it, as far as having her come to terms with bad things she's done, and having to learn to control the Darkness, etc. I'm disappointed that now it seems like there won't be a DO anymore beyond the end of 5A.

Of course, I could always be wrong, but regardless: Thoughts?
