I sort of think it was a mistake in the writing too though they can fix it. I like the Blue Fairy idea. Though it seems bizarre to me that on one hand they seemed to have decided that Rumpel didn’t remember until he heard Emma’s name even though that was never explicitly stated in the show only hinted at, but still they seemed to have decided that, so it seems strange to me that they would forget that when thinking about how Rumpel found Henry. They must have some sort of story behind it.
Sometimes it feels like they are going episode by episode and not looking at the big picture.
You just totally cracked me up because I have this exact same thought during EVERY SINGLE episode of the show!!! And I think it’s weird how we all have these deep philosophical theories on everything but then I’ll think – wait a minute, I don’t think they have even thought ahead that far yet!!! Or we come up with all this dramatic back story on a character but then I think – no, they haven’t even thought to tie any of this together yet!
I agree, it was really odd when K and H suddenly announced that Gold didn’t remember anything until he heard Emma’s name. I mean, fine – if that’s what they wanted to do great, but they probably needed to actually put that information in the show because what about all those people out there who aren’t crazy obsessed like us and don’t watch all the interviews and read the internet forums?? They could be under the impression that Gold remembered all along – that’s what I thought until I saw the K and H interview.
So yeah, sometimes I do wonder – writer’s mistake . . . or me being overly obsessed with the details??
