I hope Dark Emma kills you all for this vile shade.

It's just so over the top. She'd look better if the evil touches were more subtle. They didn't need to go full evil Russian dominatrix with her. Those boots and that hairstyle are awful.

So is Rumple going to be boringly good then?

I think I missed a lot of the "dark one" explanation in earlier seasons. The characters aren't evil they're possessed by this dark thing, right?

Yeah, I notice in the episode she killed Cruella she was looking pale and sickly, it would be better if she was essentially the same look but with some differences like looking a bit more gothic.

Especially if this is her Storybrooke look? The other characters save their OTT outfits for the Enchanted Forest.

I don't think he'll be fully good, I think the potential for darkness was there before he became the Dark One and everything about his stint as the Dark One revolved around the fact that he was a coward and that he needed power to overcome that so my guess is that he'll help the heroes so that he can get the power back, I don't think he'll do a complete 180.

Yeah, or just put some dark streaks in her hair or something and change her outfit so it's a more darker version of what she normally wears. When Rumpel was the dark one he didn't run around in trench coats and thigh high boots so I think it's a bit silly to change Emma so much when it would make more sense if she looked more normal.

The interview I read suggested that she'd use love as a weapon and that says to me that her dark look should be more subtle to create a whole wolf in sheep's clothing aspect to her character.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, she loves leather jackets so it would've made sense to just give her a black jacket and then leave everything else to the actress to incorporate into the character.

First Season 5 poster:

Spoiler:

Looks like an allusion to Black Swan.

[Marsh.]

Doesn't work you fool.

[Lostie!]

Oh, it was showing fine when I first posted it.

[Marsh.]

Oh I just saw it.

"Evil isn't born. It's made."

[Lostie!]

I found another, that will hopefully stay up.

I just read a theory over on IMDB that I love.

Morgan la Fe was a major threat back in Camelot and other realms. She was the black fairy and the original dark one. no one was really a match for her. Merlin tried to stop her by removing the darkness from her to weaken her and/or turn her good since she couldnt' be defeated as she was. This act created teh dark one curse and is teh darkness that we saw removed from Rumple and attack Regina and Emma. With the darkness removed Morgan la Fey turned intot eh blue Fairy.
This is why she had the black fairy's wand, since it was hers, and why she reacted as she did when the other mentioned the apprentice and sorceror during the first half of season 4. She knew the sorceror was Merlin and the apprentice would lead them to him. And if they found him he would reveal who blue really was.
Either Blue is really evil and her reveal would ruin any plans she has been building while she tries to regain her powers and get the darkness and her full powers back. Or she is good now and she is afraid of the dark one rejoining with her and her becoming Morgan la Fey again. Either way I envision either 5a or 5b to end with her turning into Morgan la Fey and becoming teh new big bad.

Not based on spoilers or anything, purely a theory so I don't see it playing out, but I would just love this to happen.

[Lostie!]

Merlin, Guinevere and Percival cast.

I was expecting an older man for Merlin tbh. Not necessarily the stereotypical "old man with big grey beard" sort of thing, but I definitely expected (and wanted tbh) an older guy for the role.

Meridia from Brave is gonna be in Season 5 too. I guess they're tying her in with Camelot.

Oh wow, I'm interested to see how they tie that in then.

I haven't actually seen Brave yet but I'll probably watch it before Season 5, as I did with Frozen before Season 4.

I'm guessing any UK based legends and characters in the show will all be tied into Camelot in some way. I can see them making it so that Robin's backstory is tied to it.

[Lostie!]

Have you heard the theory that Merida will be Robin and Zelena's child in flashforwards (because of the red hair and archery skills)? Obviously I very much doubt it, but it's a funny idea.

[Lostie!]

I just saw the Merida teaser, she very much looks the part.

It's an interesting idea.

Apparently they played a clip of Emma in full Dark Swan mode but I don't think they've made it available online yet.

Dear lord her new look is worse in motion.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, her facial makeup is just

I'm also having doubts about Morrison's ability to act this out.
Not quite as jarring as Goodwin during the season 4 finale but it's still dodgy.

Here for this show's version of Merida having green skin.

* The 100th episode, though shrouded in mystery, will be Season 5’s spring premiere. “We want to make it very special,” executive producer Eddy Kitsis said. “We’re hard at work not telling you anything right now.”

Wow, 100 episodes already.
