    Actually I disagree about the Blue Fairy. I never thought she was evil. Thinking about the greater good and not giving into the whims of selfish individuals does not make you evil.

    No it doesn’t.  I just remember her being rather shady at times in season 1-3.  Can’t remember specifics but I’m sure others on here will.  It just seems like she knows more than everyone else and yet doesn’t divulge.  She also supposedly has all this power, but never uses it.  There were certain times when I remember thinking hmm…

    ust before he opened the portal, he asked Emma “are you sure?” to make sure she really knew what she was getting herself into. Rumple never wanted to return to the UW, having been there before.

    Don’t be so sure.  Rumple is a master manipulator.  Could have been asking Emma to make it look like it was her idea to go to the UW when it was actually Rumple’s the whole time.  I put literally nothing past this man.

    Maybe Blue Fairy was once the Black Fairy….

    YES. I really want many of us to be vindicated in our long-held Evil Blue Fairy suspicions.

    All in agreement here.

    This is the part of the article that leaves me questioning what Rumple possibly learned. He didn’t learn not to lie to Belle. He didn’t learn how to choose love over power. In other words, he hasn’t overcome his addiction to power nor has he really shown he’s no longer afraid to live without magic. So, again I ask what has he really learned? Are we really supposed to buy into the notion that because Rumple defeated a bear he’s now Brave (TM), all thanks to Emma, Merida and Belle? How is the audience supposed to believe that Rumple has learned how to wield the darkness for good, without letting it consume him and corrupt his supposedly good intentions, when not even Emma was able to do that?

    I think what they may mean is that Rumple has learned not to lie to Belle about it.  So I expect we will see him tell her sooner rather than later.  Perhaps something along the lines of, “Listen, I took back the DO power.  I wanted to be honest with you.  But I want to use it for good.  I took it on because I believe the power is best in my hands and I believe I can control it the best.  It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.  You may think it’s for power, but I promise it’s more than that.”  Or something like that.  Whether he means it, who knows.  Or maybe he needs to have the DO power in order to bring back Neal?   Maybe that’s his secret agenda.  Obviously we know this doesn’t work because MRJ can’t return full time.  But he’s been in the UW before, we just haven’t seen it.  I bet he learned something then that none of the characters know about, yet.  And I’m sure he has met Hades.  Once again, Rumple is in a place that he knows way more about than everyone else.  There’s a reason he went with everyone to the UW and it isn’t to save Hook I can guarantee that.

    To me that would be an extension of scenario 1. If pulling yourself out by the bootstraps fails, the noblest solution is to put yourself out of your own misery (a self-sacrifice essentially disguising a suicide).

    Pretty much.  And it’s Inherently Evil.

    I think that’s why Hades has been keeping an eye on Zelena; he thinks they are alike–their sibling got everything they didnt.

    Oh yes.  The connection is too close for them not to do it.

    I don’t care about Hades or anything to do with his past that doesn’t have to do specifically with the main characters of the show.

    Well I’m pretty sure it will tie in to the main cast somehow.  It usually always does.

    I kinda think that the end of 5B won’t set up S6 so much as just end the Darkness storyline. Sorta like in in S1, it ended with the Curse breaking but with no real indication of who was the next big bad–we didn’t know Cora was coming back, in other words. So I don’t think we’re gonna know who or what is coming next until S6 starts filming.

    That would be interesting.  And I kind of would like that.  Finish out the darkness story line, then bring home the bacon with whatever they claimed to have been planning to end the show with in season 6. (Jasmine and Aladdin one time).

    OUAT decides to try its hand at moral relativism. In this scenario, addiction is not inherently evil in and of itself, and everyone is already “addicted” to something anyway. If so, Rumple stays the Dark One provided he doesn’t actively cause harm to others, and is straight up about his “using” with his loved ones.

    Ahh, look at that.  You used the title of the novel I’m currently working on.

    But honestly I could see them going the full dark Rumple, showing that his addiction cannot be fully fixed because that is his inherent flaw.  I could also see his family rising up and helping him overcome it.  I could also see him realizing he can’t overcome it, and therefore sacrificing himself for everyone (again).  Although this time it wouldn’t be just to save his family, but to save himself from an addiction he cannot control.  However, I too don’t see them killing Rumple, at least til the end.  He should be there until the final few episodes.
