I was going to ask why they were doing two episodes tonight and then I realized that the AMAs were coming on next sunday.
 
Ha, love how they addressed Whale's hair since Anders had it bleached for iZombie. Almost seems like he brought some of that characters personality back with him to play Whale again, lol.
 
Yeah, that was a great twist. I was wondering why there was no name on Excalibur.

Still no real idea on where the darkness comes from and why it needs to be contained.
 
Is this second episode not following up on the first? If so, that's lame. I couldn't care less about Merida and her story.
 
OK, I'm having trouble keeping track of where the second episode is taking place. Flashbacks to flashback to flashback to flashback...
 
I stopped watching. Episode was boring the hell out of me.
 
So Ruby decided to go back to the EF to find more of her kind before Elsa came, she's been gone since then and no one noticed at all not even Granny? I assume they'll explain before the episode is over.


EDIT: I assumed wrong.

Can someone explain the logistics behind Emma saving Killian and why in doing so he became a Dark One?
 
Loved both episodes. Both were very good by this show's standards.

Very happy to see whale, mulan and ruby again. It also appears ruby and mulan are going to be paired up as the "exploring a same sex relationship " and i approve!

Also... yet another "underworld" refrence... #hadesiscoming

She split the dark ones power to heal him and bring him back to life.

Not sure what else is needed to explain?

But she cheated death... so my guess... hades be coming to collect

Emma said she was going to use the flame from the Prometheus stone and do something with it, and then this black ooze started coming out of Merlin and enveloped Killian, and then he teleported to some circular thing in which a black blob came out and transformed into Killian.

Yeah...Im still not getting it. LOL.
 
The black goo is the essence of the dark one i assume what came out of merlin was the piece given to him that caused him to be controled.

When Nimue drank from the Holy Grail she obtained magic & immortality but once she killed someone out of revenge her soul & her magic turned dark simple as that. However when Merlin created the dagger he pretty gave the person (good or evil) in possession of the dagger control over the dark one & the power to wield the dark one's magic as they chose which pretty much defeated the purpose of tethering the dark one's souls to the dagger to begin with. Merlin thought he was solving the problem but his solution solved nothing other than putting a powerful weapon in the hands of mortals to be used for acts of evil themselves.

I'm assuming it was sort of an alternate way to pass on the power. Like with the dagger, if you use it to kill the current Dark One, you become the next Dark One. Since the same spell was used to bind Merlin to Excalibur, I assumed it works in a similar way. Which was why I wondered why Merlin's name (or whoever succeeded him's) name wasn't on Excalibur when Gold pulled it out. Luckily, they explained it.

Still not sure how that created a world threatening danger. Hopefully they will explain it further.

.... the Holy Grail, when drunken out of, give the person INFINITE COSMIC POWER! lol, aka... greatest magic welder in the universe basically... and if you use that power for evil... you become the dark one (that's at least how the dark one was created) by bastardizing the gift of magic
 
After finally getting to watch both episodes, I have to say I loved them both. Only problem I had was Regina in the first hour. Really, Regina? Emma kidnapping the sister who has only ever made your life a living hell is just a bridge too far for you? Reeeeeeally gurl?

"No one messes with my sister but me." Oh shut the **** up, you didn't even know you had a sister a few years ago. :o

Also kinda wish certain details about the Hook thing hadn't been spoiled for me on tumblr a week or so ago, but oh well....
 
Regina is really trying to work that redemption angle and turn a new leaf.
