If this show doesn't get better, they should just end it next month.

All I'll say is Lana Parilla is the most entertaining/captivating/brilliant actress I've seen on TV in long time and I hate what they're doing to her. And even then she still manages to get me to cheer for her.
I want an Evil Queen spinoff. She and Henry can go live in NYC... Kill off everyone else.

I was with you right up until you threw Henry into this spinoff. On a show full of poor actors, he may be the worst of all (and it doesn't help his character is annoying as hell).

This show was never great but God has it gotten awful. The whole Marian thing was so embarrassing for everyone involved, a clear reaction to the fact conservative parents threw a fit over the Queen "cheating" with Robin. Such a silly silly twist. I don't know what they are even doing any more. There's no purpose to anything in the show and it's not even fun. Emma is just the worst, I cannot stand her. The author storyline couldn't be more of a mess. At this point I just watch the show in the background with absolutely zero interest in anything going on. Lana Parrilla deserves to be killed off so she can go star in a show worthy of her enormous talent. I'd love to see her star in her own cable drama or comedy.

@adamgreer - what I meant was she should go with him but he would be like part of the furniture, there for continuity but let it be the Regina show. He's really irrelevant this season anyways.

Like Cousin Debbie's son Blanket in SMASH.

It's apparently been renewed for a fifth season:

Also, since I just started watching the show this season, I've been catching up on previous seasons, this season is definitively the weak one out, but I still enjoy it immensely!

Slight Spoiler_
MERLIN!!!!
Well it's about time!
( hoping Madam Mim appears but will settle for The Once and Future King version)

I wonder how long it will be before we actually see him. The Author was talked about for a good half season before finally appearing.
They had another subtle reference to Walt tonight. In Isaac's flashback (set in December 1966) we learn they're searching for a new Author because the old one "just died." Walt Disney, previously identified as a past author, died in December of 1966.

That episode was just awful. I can't remember being that angry at a TV episode since the finale of How I Met Your Mother.

The "big twist" ending was a little disappointing. I figured they'd leave Storybrooke in alt form - at least that would have many different possibilities for alliances. Emma changes alone? Not so much.

I skipped out on the second half of last season but came back this time for Ursula, Cruella and Maleficent which was apparently a bad idea since they weren't really on the show. The promise of a huge twist was nothing but a fizzle after a clunker of an episode. I'm done with this show for good now.

Well, I guess I'm the minority (on this board), but I loved it!

I loved this episode. For the first time in years, I didn't feel like I was watching a bunch of whiny, pathetic non-heroes led by grumpy cat in a blonde wig.

I really enjoyed this episode. (But really, who did not see it coming that Emma will be the Dark One? Ever since they first talked about Emma turning dark, it was quite obvious.) Can't wait for season 5!

I am fully on board with the fact that it doesn't appear that next season is going to be based on Disney's new hot thing and rather staying close to their classic lore. I like that Lily is staying around, but I hope that Mal does too. She seems like a fun character.
I adore that they kept Cruella a psychopath rather than delivering sympathy. She's really the only one to live up to being a Queen of Darkness. Ursula's daddy issues fixed her & Mal just wanted Lily.

Since Emma is the Dark One, might there be a Black Swan tie-in?

I loved this episode too, it was a nice ending to what was a mixed feeling season for me but the entire season finale made up for it. Emma as the Dark One, this should prove interesting for season 5.

I bet Henry wishes he didn't break that damn pen now. He could have just written the darkness out of his Mommy.
Stupid kid.

Can't the Dark One simply be controlled by whomever possesses the dagger?
If so, it should be an easy enough solution for them to lock Emma up in that asylum where Zelena is until they find this Merlin character to remove the Darkness.

Doesn't anyone of the writers "get"- ya gotta have the dark to see the light?

Except the whole forbidden thing. You know like what got Issac locked up for. Like when he asked the Apprentice if he could write his dad back to life and he told him no? That this is real life and not a fictional story?

Right. I thought the "rule" was the Author only recorded events and didn't try to change them.
Of course, givn how loosely this show follows its own rules and how often premises are discarded, it wouldn't shock me in the least for this to go right out the window.
Speaking of the pen, now that it's broken, does that mean there won't be any more stories written?

"Right. I thought the "rule" was the Author only recorded events and didn't try to change them."
But writing anything changes something. That whole storyline makes no damn sense.
