They always act like Snow and Emma are going to have a plot, but they never do anymore.
I like the third one. I realized that I nearly forgot about Season 1! But it kind of makes sense to connect the Emma that arrived in Storybrooke to the Emma she’s now turning into. And they used a scene with Emma in a white top and with her blonde curls which seems to be as much contrast as possible to the Dark Swan.

With the dark Swan story line, I wonder if that is related to the Swan Princess. As I seem to recall it was the dark Swan that prevented Swan Princess from receiving her happy ending.

No One Can Stay Good Forever
She was never portrayed as ALL good. She made mistakes, lots of them, and owned those mistakes for the most part. Some of them came back to haunt her, like lying to Henry about his father. I’m just a little bothered by how this last one is framing Emma (same reason I was bothered by the idea that when she killed Cruella, it was suddenly a horrible thing and completely different from killing Maleficent or the demon or…).
Keeper of Belle's Gold magic, sand dollar, cloaks, purple FTL outfit, spell scroll, library key, copy of Romeo and Juliet, and cry-muffling pillow, Rumple's doll, overcoat, and strength, and The Timeline. My spreadsheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6r8CySCCWd9R0RUNm4xR3RhMEU/view?usp=sharing
I’m bothered by that promo for the same reason that Keb is, and it goes both ways. The show is making it sound like you are either BAD or GOOD but that’s actually totally antithetical to what OUAT has stood for all 4 years of running. GOOD and BAD don’t really exist and everyone’s story reveals that we’re all capable of good and bad, we can be heroes and we can be villains and each story depends on where you’re standing.
Even before learning about what her parents did and going down the “darker” path in 4B, Emma was given to fits of rage, jealousy, greed, selfishness, and has lied, stolen, and been violent. She is not some ray of light in a dark and abysmal world. She’s….human. That’s it.
I know it’s a promo and is just trying to get hype for the new season but it’s not really doing a service to the show as a whole.
New promo
I’m calling it, Once Season 5 is pulling a Arkham Knight on us with Emma and Rumple, and if you don’t know what i’m talking about then play Arkham Knight and then you’ll get it.
