This show really has become Once Upon a Hook now. It should’ve been EMMA who sacrificed herself and really became the Savior by taking in the dark magic and going to the Underworld. In a narrative sense and in a character-driven sense, her dying would’ve been better to motivate everyone else to go and get her back, because unlike Hook, everyone loves and is pesonally connected to Emma. She is the glue that holds everyone in SB together. It would be 1000x greater if Emma really were the central character and the one who features on the poster for S5b. The first half of S5 was supposed to be about Emma, but instead it became all about Hook. Now it seems as if the second half will be all about him too.
