I feel the same way with the whole "Dark Swan" mess in season 5. A single person should not be able to be the Savior AND the Dark One. They really screwed that up in season 5. Either Emma's Savior status should have protected her from being possessed by the Dark One, or she should have been stripped of her Savior status the moment she became the Dark One, and a new Savior should have been chosen. They totally screwed the pooch on that whole Dark Swan idea back in season 5. (Not to mention that Jennifer Morrison just does not have the acting chops to play a villian. Her entire Dark Swan performance was just painful to watch.) Let's not have a repeat of anything like that again, thank you very much. Oh really? I am not a fan of 5A either, but the one thing that kept me from not being so bored was Jennifer's performance. It was also the reason when I realized how talented actor she is.

I agree that a person should not get all those power. But by the time of S5, there was only one Savior, and she was THE Savior, not A Savior. Yes, Emma was the Savior, but not because she was born to break the Curse (contrary to what Fiona said), because she was borned to be the Savior. Actually to me, they screwed up everything in S6 by making Aladdin a savior and that other people can become a savior due to unknown reasons. Not a huge fan of 5A, but I too enjoyed Jen's performnace as Dark Swan. I was willing to accept that there could be multiple Saviors, but then they went and made her belief the linchpin for all the realms of stories in the S6 finale. Like, why are there other Saviors if it's supposed to be Emma's belief that's appearantly stopping the complete destruction of the multiverse?

I think the most likely candidates for this savior would be Lucy, Henry, or Jacinda. Since Henry and Jacinda are cursed and without memories, I'm betting on Lucy, unless Henry somehow manages to regain his memoreis by the end of 7x01 (unlikely).
