Storybrooke needs its Good Friday moment, and now is as good a time as any.<br /><br /><i> I'm more interested in an explanation for how the heck Emma protected her heart?</i><br /><br />I think Rumpelstiltskin explained that at the end when he called her the product of "true love." The only problem? I'm still not feeling the supposed "true love" between Charming and Snow -- and I think that may have something to do with the absence of the jeopardy factor.<br /><br /><i>As for the Dark One, I think he is trying to get Bae...</i><br /><br />Obviously.<br /><br /><i>he needed Emma to break the spell so Bae could remember who he was...</i><br /><br />But Bae didn't get to our world via the curse, so it's possible he <b>didn't</b> forget who he was. Which brings us to another question: <b>Bae, where the hell are you?</b> Personally, I think finding him will be quite difficult, if not impossible. Remember that Rumpelstiltskin is a much older character -- his back story takes place <b>well before</b> everyone else's (as evidenced by the fact that he taught both Cora and Regina everything they know about magic). Consequently, it's likely that Bae emerged in our world in, say, the 1930's and grew up to fight and die in World War II. It all depends on how the parallel universes work.

Not that I'm rooting for the bad guys to WIN per say...but Cora is going to try to convince Regina to go back to her power-accumulating ways. and that is going to have very bad consequences for someone in Story Brook.<br /><br />Aurora and Mulan are going after a rescue of Philiop and their magical foes are gone to the other world now...we probably won't see them again for a while.<br /><br />But yes, as of this moment, the cast is too big and some people need to start dying to ratchet up the jeopardy and get the plot moving. I nominate Belle and Cora for that honor (Regina kills her mother against Henry's wishes through the use of magic, the abuse of power causes her to fall off the wagon - Rumplestiltskin is CRUSHED by Belle's death, goes all evil)<br /><br />Perhaps Cora can kill Hook at some point too...I don't like him much as a character...kind of boring.<br /><br />As for the dark energy in the portal, I'm guessing that Regina now has that power within her...it will IMHO come out at some point and not in a good way. I'm more interested in an explanation for how the heck Emma protected her heart?<br /><br />As for the Dark One, I think he is trying to get Bae...he needed the spell to get him to Earth and neutralize his own power (thus giving him a chance to be a father to Bae again and eliminate his magical rivals), he needed Emma to break the spell so Bae could remember who he was...and he needed Emma to defeat Cora and then be killed, so he could wind up without magical rivals and thus feel secure enough to fall back to a normal life. Or so goes the thinking in my head. Unfortunately, Regina is more powerful than ever now...and Emma survived. So...oops.SABR Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879056167130238382noreply@blogger.com
