Well, it always makes my twitchy when they harp on Rumple being a coward, because frankly I think it’s quite sensible to want to be there for your newborn child rather than suffering a brutal death in war. But I’m a big ole “war what is it good for” hippie, and the show seems intent on labeling him a coward for being a deserter, so whatever.
Which is *weird* when you think about how it was presented in Manhattan (manipulation at the hands of a seer) and then re-presented to you in s3A (with Pan abandoning Rumple) the singular idea that Rumple is just straight up a coward is…not true.
