Everything you wrote I agree with. For me, the heart of Rumple was always his son, and the heart of the show was always that parental love that made Rumple cast the dark curse to find him. Without Bae, I fear the heart of the show is missing, as is Rumple’s redemptive quality. Now he’s just another power-hungry villain out to take over the world. But that’s so boring, and a crying shame. Rumple can try and have everything, but we know he’s not going to get what he wants, because he can’t have unlimited dark magic and real love. It’s going to have to be one or the other.
