Bearing in mind I haven’t watched since 3×14 (I think? Or 15/16)…killing off Neal was just about the worst thing they could’ve done for Rumple. I always knew that, but this confirms it. Now he’s on a REVENGE quest? What is he, Regina?? That and the fact that he apparently spent all of S4A trying to get unchecked power is just…incredibly lame. It’s a Bond villain motive. What made him interesting was that there was a personal nature to his motivations.
Here’s the analogy I like to use: Rumple without Bae is Darth Vader without Luke Skywalker. Not particularly interesting!
