I was disappointed that part 2 of the podcast did not discuss the scene where Belle reunited with Gold in his shop because I would have loved to hear their opinions on it. I decided to make a forum to let out some of my emotions on this intense moment and the dislike of the forest scene.
A lot of people are saying how the forest scene they shared illustrated how power hungry Rumple is and that he didn’t seem that concerned for Belle because he didn’t even bother to walk beside her. Thus, people think Rumpel does not deserve Belle. However, the first scene where they meet, you could see Gold’s heart shatter. Nearly sobbing, and wrapping his arms tightly around Belle, he promises to protect her. This is huge. He obviously cares deeply about Belle, especially because he let down his guard and told her he loves her. Not only that, but he seems to be figuring out how to put her into his centuries old plan as he rushes with her through the forest to complete it. Yes he was eager to get it down ,but at the same time would not let her out of his sight. (Notice at the very end he has his arm around her shoulder ;)). Also, by Gold saying “she did this to you” indicates he’ll be seeking revenge in the future. There will be more tension between Rumpel and Regina than ever thanks to Jefferson because he is munipulating Rumpel to do what he can’t (kill Regina)
Hopefully next season Belle and Rumpel will have the time to talk about a plan for the future. It is clear from Skin Deep Belle does not want to be a damsel in distress. So I’m sure she will not just play some pawn in Rumpels agenda. Like she said before in Skin Deep “There aren’t a lot of opportunities in this land to show what women can do. To be heroes” I really liked what obisgirl said about how Belle will act as Rumpel’s consonance. I heard that the first episode will be Rumpel centric with flashbacks of him.
GAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!! I TOTALLY CALLED IT!!! The first episode will be Rumpel-centric! 😀 😀 😀 And it makes sense. The season finale left off on Rumpel, so it should naturally pick back up with Rumpel. 😉
I agree with everything you said, Lissy. Their reunion was heartbreaking. Mr. Gold’s face and tears spoke volumes.
