Black Swan



Once Upon A Time came back to our screens in the usual OUAT style this week, of course, *spoiler* ending with our beloved group of Heroes and Villains being transported to an enchanted land- this time Camelot and returning without a single memory of the events that took place after their arrival. It is revealed that they have been gone six weeks. I don't think the viewers were shocked at this. But what was shocking was the cold Dark One we saw at the end of the episode.
First we have to say that Miss Swan (Jennifer Morrison) suites the darkness. She looks cold, ruthless and incredible. She easily gives Regina a run for her money. But what will Emma do as The Dark One? Will she stay The Dark One?

There is no doubt that the season will revolve around revealing the events that occurred during the six weeks in Camelot and how the Heroes and Villains ‘failed’ to save Emma. In the current time line we can guess that there will be a strong focus on the inhabitants of Storybrooke trying to get Emma back to her usual Saviour ways. Throughout this season we are going to see what happens when the woman with the most potential for darkness actually goes dark. We have seen the things Regina has done as the Evil Queen, Cora has done as a power mad Augusta like figure, what Rumplistilkin has done as the Dark One and of course what wicked deeds Zelena had done as the Wicked Witch of The West. I've got a feeling the Dark Swan is going to make all of their actions look like child play.

As The Dark One, Emma, is sure to show us just how bad a Dark One can be and as the show hits its fifth season I think we can expect some really shocking deeds from The Dark One herself to shake up the audience and get back those ratings and views that may have dropped when a show after five years on air. 


Adam Horowitz, one of the shows executive producers, stated to Digital Spy "How a Dark One manifests is specific to each person who takes on the mantle. Emma will have her own unique spin on what it means to be a Dark One." For this reason we can't wait to see the new take on a Dark One"


We do not know if Emma will return to her usual light self however I will leave you with a couple of theories. Either A Lily will return and she will take the darkness to restore an equilibrium in the fated pair. Emma once again becoming the strongest denizen of light and Lily fulfilling her dark potential which Emma seems to have reclaimed. Or perhaps in good old OUAT style darkness is only a shade and Emma can become a 'good' villain. But we know that the power of the dagger and the darkness will ultimately draw its user back to evil so all we know is that whilst Emma is The Dark One a lot of the fairytale residents of Storybrooke are going to pay the price.
