If he, after the episode The Miller’s Daughter, hasn’t learned from his past mistakes then I question the writers and what they’re doing. I want it to be hard for Rumple, but at some point the man has to learn. Its called character development.
Agreed. While I can understand Rumple can’t be completely happy, because if he has no drama then there is no show, but there have been way more downs than ups this entire Season. Making everything too unhappy just makes the audience feel depressed and the show is no longer that fun to watch. Rumple should continue to have drama, but he should be faced with new challenges rather than going back and forth with the same challenges. It’s the same problem with Regina’s character.
As annoying as some may find it some of it makes sense. With Regina especially we see this addiction to magic and most addicts can’t just flip a switch and never even think of going back to it, especially when bad things are happening. Rumple is guilty of this as well because he just can’t see a way of doing things that don’t involve him having power and his pride makes him think he can get absolutely everything and keep it. It would be way too unrealistic if they have a moment of clarity and do 180 degree personality switch. Habits, good and bad take time and even moreso on the undoing side of things. If any of that had happened people would be crying foul on it being too fast. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
