Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 5x11 Swan Song
Wow. Selling your kids into slavery, just wow!
Wait, how did Rumple get the wavy sword. Is that the wavy sword?
I can’t wait for Emma to stop being the Dark One, oh my God.
Wait, why is Zelena so sure the Dark Ones won’t attack her?
Robin, that pointy arrow isn’t gonna do anything against the Dark Ones.
Why doesn’t Regina just teleport them away??
Aaah! Get away from Snowing!
Why can’t they just stay away from the ferry?
This was really freaking awful of Dark Hook. I mean, even Rumple would never try to kill all his loved ones as the Dark One. What the hell?! He tried to Orphan Emma and baby Neal and kill Henry, who’s a freaking child!! This was a step too far. I don’t know what the writers were thinking here. The very fact that he tried to kill Emma’s son seems irredeemable. I don’t think a season 1-season 3 Emma would ever forgive that. I don’t even think season 4 Emma would. It’s just unrealistic that anyone would forgive their lover for trying to kill their child and parents, consumed by darkness or not. Step too far.
I think fire and brimstone is worse than the Underworld, unless you’re to be tortured like Hook. Why did Hades torture Hook so much, anyway?
Is that the only time Regina calls him Killian?
They missed such a huge opportunity, not having Regina face her victims in the underworld. It had a good possibility for growth.
It’s weird seeing Hook have power over Regina like that.
Didn’t Colin say they did it in that carriage? Or am I misremembering? Ah well, I like to think of them having had a few sexual encounters as canon. He totally did it with Cora too.
Oh God, this is horrible!! Her whole damn family! This was beyond cruel to all those involved.
Oh yeah. When Rumple went out back to get Excalibur, didn’t he tether it to himself or something. In that moment he made the decision to become the Dark One again, I think.
How the heck did she know how to find his father? And how mean, making it part of the deal that he kill a parent too. Maybe it made her feel better that way. Wouldn’t it have been easier to control one of her guards via their heart and force them to kill her mother? Or even to control Hook with his heart?
Zelena, baby, you can’t call your kid Pistachio!! Omg. I’m headcanoning Robin Jr.’s middle name to be Pistachio!
Regina really doesn’t like those name options lol.
“The withered knob of that sad old man.” Oh my God!! I’m screaming!!!!
BULLCRAP!! No your memory does not freaking serve because you have to use dark freaking magic to control that wand and your magic wasn’t dark enough!! It’s nothing to do with power or believing in yourself, what the hell?! Regina must have done some dark crap recently to get that thing to work.
Zelena, just teleport away!
Zelena, noooo! Gonna miss her! She made this arc bearable!
Killian, for God’s sake. Do something! Reverse it somehow!
How does he know that’s not Liam? I guess the straight hair?
He left more than a century ago. Killian is over one hundred years old at this point! I worked it out with the help of Baelfire arriving in Victorian England after Big Ben was created and Killian is at the very least 130 years old at this point in time! The timeline this season has been horrendous!
It’s very weird that that nurse ‘fell in love’ with a sleeping patient she’s never even communicated with and kissed him.
All this for freaking revenge. Leave the Charming’s alone!
I’m sorry? He doesn’t wanna hurt her?? He doesn’t wanna hurt her?? He wants to kill her entire freaking family! How is that not going to hurt her?
He’s doing this to get revenge on Rumple or Emma? Both? He’s saying he owes Emma, well then why doesn’t he just kill Rumple? Revenge achieved! He didn’t have to bring her family into this.
Killian: “And now because of that you get to watch everyone you live die.” Back the hell off!! Rumple had the darkness for years and he never would have killed Belle’s loved ones to spite her! Sure he would have killed her father but never out of spite for the person he loves!
Dark cs is so freaking toxic.
Killian: “Enjoy the time you have left with your family.” Get the hell out! Beyond evil! Nothing angers me like this episode! This was the final nail in the coffin for my love for cs. There was just no coming back from this in my opinion, especially because he acted perfectly normal before he remembered he was the Dark One.
How does Robin know the fairies will take Neal. What if no one thinks to look in the diner and he starves!!
Tbh I need to read an au where Emma raises her brother due to all this, though it will hurt like hell!
Henry: “So this is really it.” Hook (smiling): “I’m afraid it is, lad.” I am going to swear!! This is so unforgivable!
It is kinda out of order that he called his third son Liam after what he did to the first. It does kinda seem like he’s replacing him.
That felt unnecessary. He just orphaned his little brother! He could have at least have made sure he was taken care of. How did Liam II age so much, anyway? I guess he wasn’t affected by the curse and wasn’t under Cora’s time freezing bubble somehow.
He should have absorbed the Dark One’s into the sword in the freaking first place!!
How you gonna kiss him after he just tried to kill your whole family??! This was the first step in their relationship where they would just forgive each other for anything, no matter how toxic and would put their relationship above absolutely everything else, to the detriment of relationships with family. Like, he could quite literally kill her son and she’d probably forgive him.
Thank God! Emma got rid of that ridiculous outfit and hairstyle!! I am gonna cry happy tears for days!!
Belle to Rumple: “you lied to me again! *makes out with him*. For the first time you were truly selfless.” Wtf Belle?! Did you not outright refuse to leave Storybrooke so you could get killed by a giant bear the other day because it was the ‘brave thing to do’, but then when your friends were in danger it was okay for Rumple to lie to you and tell you to leave? That makes no sense! This is kinda ooc and unrealistic. But then, is it ooc? It’s certainly the quickest she’s had a change of heart. And didn’t you just say you had to protect your heart from him like yesterday? I will never understand this woman. What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle. Is she on drugs?
She can still hear the dagger!
I don’t get it. Didn’t Excalibur crumble?
That small vile of magic was hella convenient!
Rumple has Emma’s power as well as every other Dark One’s. Wow!
They are all bananas going to the underworld. Leaving their babies without parents for what could be forever! And taking Henry (a child!) to the freaking underworld where they might never come back and Rumple literally just said it was a place worse than hell, where you’d beg for death!
Their feet are gonna get wet.
Emma, you’re still talking like that! Please, I beg of you, stap it!
Hell no. You do not get to take “I will always find you.”!
Thank God this arc is over!! At least the next one’s a little better, I think.
