  1. Zelena has to return because when she died, the green smoke activated the portal, but I think it did more than that... I think she went back in time, too. When she does appear in flashbacks, like they said would happen, she will be the Zelena from where we left off.
  2. Yes! I love mastermind Rumple as well. I hope he gets the dagger and kills them all >:)
  3. 1) I won't quote KAOS' whole post, but I pretty much agree with everything there. 2) Now, I still think that Emma is too powerful because even though she can not call on her powers randomly, they come when she needs them, and isn't that all that matters? Of course, we have seen her easily subdued by The Dark One, which is yet another problem. Yet, we know within our hearts, that if Belle hadn't shown up, Emma would have somehow broken free and used some kind of light magic to solve the problem. 3) What they did with Rumple was a big mistake. Any of the possible outcomes would have been problematic. They shouldn't have even had him do this. If Rumple had escaped, he would have been unstoppable and the show would have been either ruined, or they would have pulled a deus ex machina and somehow killed him. Instead, however, they took the less direct route to ruining the show and he crawled away to his next plan of magical conquest. Neither the former nor the latter are good. Rumple shouldn't have done this in the first place. But, since they decided to, Rumple should have died. Belle, who has been lied to for so many years should have killed Rumple. I know it sounds crazy, but this is the corner the show backed itself into. I don't want to watch season after season of rumple failing and then crawling around until he comes back for more power again. This has happened already, and I'm getting tired of it: The magic candle; Neal reviving Rumple. A good show knows when it's time for the characters to go, and Rumple's personality is that such that: (And I quote myself here)
  4. I disagree. Regina, in my opinion, does not posses unlimited powers. Her limits are shown many ways, but she seems to prey on the weak. Regina, after Mary Margaret killed Cora, was scared away by Rumple. Later, during the Spell of Shatters Sight, she was easily pushed aside by Emma Swan. Rumple, while very powerful, will always be vulnerable in the end due to his weakness of the dagger. This was shown at the end of the first half of Season 4. The real problem with Rumple is his persistence. Rumple has been saved from death once, revived once and had his magic taken away countless times, and yet he continues to come back. For this reason, Rumple is ruining the show. Even when he has no magic, no dagger, his old limp back and no help, Rumple begins his next plan. This is exactly what I am saying. The only way for Rumple to ever back off in the show is for him to die.
  5. Yes, I have to agree with that last statement. I'm so glad they didn't let Rumple escape from Storybrooke with his powers, but then again, how could they have? That would have ruined the show for sure. I'll won't talk about Emma, since this is definitely not the right thread and I probably shouldn't have brought it up. On another note, I feel that there has to be some change to the main characters of the story. So far, it's been the same characters thrown up against villains with Rumple never choosing a side. I mean, where are we now? Rumple is facing dilemmas with power. All of the extra characters who joined for season 4 are gone (Frozen characters, Robin). Storybrooke hasn't changed except for problems with the barrier, which is nothing new. Regina is, once again, without her love. Regina still dislikes Emma and they're slowly starting to get along, like she always has. The only change in Hook and Emma's relationship that I've noticed is more kissing. I sincerely hope that some upcoming villains will either become a part of or make a more permanent dent on the main characters. If Rumple hadn't been forced out of Storybrooke, not much would have changed, however, this was a huge change! Now, Rumple may be completely evil and set on revenge.
  6. I am very curious about the Storybook. I know that Regina is searching for the writer, but what if there is not writer? What if the characters are writing the book themselves? In one of the episodes when Hook and Emma travel back in time, they find the Storybook blank. This could prove what I am saying.
  7. 1.) Mr. Gold - Good or evil I really liked how the 4th season's first half ended. Mr. Gold's character can be so confusing at times. Sometimes, I wonder if he is always trying to gain power because he is scared or greedy. Mr. Gold's true problem is that he wants the benefits of being both a villain and a hero. The benefits of being a villain are being able to devote yourself to/and get what you want. The benefits of being a hero are having trust and relations, yet it is my firm belief that Mr. Gold simply wants the benefits of being a hero to use those trust and relationships to his advantage, whether it be for pleasure (when Mr. Gold has a relationship for pleasure, it must be noted that he will throw this away when it stands right in the way of something he truly desires) or to assist him in achieving his goals. The argument against this would be that proof lies in the episode where Mr. Gold sacrifices himself to defeat Pan, yet this is yet another selfish act. What we realize, upon further inspection, is that Mr. Gold simply did this to gain the love/trust of Neal. I feel that, while this could have been because he loved him, it was more to ease his own guilt. A hero would have sacrificed himself to save the town, but Mr. Gold's motives are clearly branded as a way to gain Neal's trust. After all, the only deal he ever broke was with Neal. In conclusion, Mr. Gold's affection (towards Belle) is real, but his desire for power is also real, and it is the latter that wins out in the end. 2.) Mr. Gold's motives explored As I stated in the paragraph above, sometimes I wonder if Mr. Gold is after power because he is scared or greedy. I'll keep this one brief. Mr. Gold is, in reality, and contrary to what most would believe, greedy. His greed, however, stems from fear. He took the fear of losing power and ran with it. If you are in a jungle and about to be attacked by a tiger and someone gave you a rifle, you'd be happy. Mr. Gold, however, would want an automatic weapon, or whatever crazy item you can think of. The point is that eventually it becomes less about self defense and more about greed. All different motives are suggested, such as trying to rescue Baelfire and self-defense, but even when these are accomplished Mr. Gold wants more, out of greed. On a side note, Mr. Gold's patience makes him extremely dangerous. He is always invested in the future. Mind if I go way off topic here? I wasn't sure where else to put this... Exploring powers: This is one of the more odd scenarios. Emma Swan is usually thought of as being very powerful, yet her magic is nowhere near as practical as Mr. Gold's. The dilemma here becomes how powerful Emma should become. If Emma turns out to be a Mr. Gold without the handicap of the dagger, the show is doomed. I feel that we're already headed in the wrong direction, as, currently, her powers have no known limits. Now, of course, not all limits are as obvious as the dagger. With Zelena, for example, it is clear that she is powerful, but it is also clear she has limits and weaknesses, such as light magic. Emma Swan is so absurdly powerful and unpredictable that we don't really know where she'll stop. It is, however, important to note, as I said before, that her magic is nowhere near as practical as Mr. Gold's. The day Emma Swan is teleporting, throwing fireballs and ripping out hearts is the day I stop watching.
