'Once Upon a Time' top 10 tidbits about season 5

2. First images of “Dark Swan”

“Dark Swan” is what Emma as the Dark One is being called. As two images of Jennifer Morrison in her new Dark Swan getup were released, Entertainment Weekly interviewed Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis to see what they had to say about her transformation and what lies ahead.

Kitsis began by describing Emma’s current condition. “Every part of her is fighting her dark urges. What happens when [the darkness] mixes with the lightest magic of all, and will Emma have the strength to fight it?”

To answer the question regarding how Emma’s powers as the Dark One will differ from Rumpelstiltskin’s, Horowitz explained, “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.” Kitsis chimed in that being the Dark One “allows you to have the freedom to have no inhibitions.”

Kitsis continued by giving an overarching theme for this coming season. He said, “We are going to be exploring love and what happens when you use it as a weapon and what are the things that it makes you do. In the past, we’ve said love is the most powerful magic of all. It makes you do many things you normally wouldn’t think you would.” Then, ending with a ray of hope, he added, “The quest for Merlin is the quest to free Emma.”
