I said it on the chat and i say it here, now with more calm, and coldness, free from ouat world, i see that rumple sacrifice on 311 was nothing but one excuse to kill neal on the nexts episodes. We talk like his sacrifice was nothing bc neal die, but the true is, that was design like that, they made rumple sacrifice himself so that they have a reason and excuse to kill neal later on, by trying to save his father.Im starting to think that even the idea of pan was rumple father was also use as plot make the sacrifice powerful so that neal die the same way. The thing is the line of happy endings is stupid if they would kill the character, even if this was prepared like bt season they take 15 ep, to make a crap death, if they wanted him death, they could have use like for example, the 1st curse was made to get close to him, this second curse would kill him, or some idea like this, like give him few time live in SB after the curse hits, with nothing of dark magic, but bae being connected some how to the whole mytology of the curse, after in SB few time to live.
