Second this! Think about his confrontation with August. I can’t think of the direct quote, but it was something along the lines of ‘you’ve always been the bigger (better) man, son. Now, I need you to be the bigger man once again and forgive me.’ He seems to expect the anger and bitterness, but still thinks his son has retained his bravery and noble nature. If Bae is (at least on the surface) the complete wreck some of us are suggesting – think how crushing that will be for Rumple and the amazing acting opportunity for Robert Carlyle (maybe enough to actually get a nomination!)
Yes, I keep thinking about the song “Cats in the Cradle” every time I think of Rumple and Bae finally reuniting. Perhaps it won’t be exactly like that song, but Robert Carlyle should have a lot of good material to work with when he realizes what a hardened person Bae grew up to be.
Have you heard anything else about MRJ’s proposed pilot, ANTBEE? That wonderful gif series on tumblr had me completely ready for him to be Baelfire…and now…….I’ll kind of be disappointed if he’s just Peter Pan or Jack (or other).
He didn’t reply, but it was just one of his friends offering it to him over Twitter. I would just guess that he couldn’t come right out and say on Twitter that he’ll be back next season on Once, so that’s why he didn’t answer. For now, I’m still assuming that he’s Bae/Henry’s dad/Jack because no offense to MR-J, but if they wanted to just introduce Peter or Jack to be a short term love interest to Emma since Lancelot looks to be ruled out now, Prince Phillip already has two girls in love with him it seems from spoilers, and Hook is a villain, I don’t think that MR-J would be high up on the list. Now if they wanted to cast someone for a meaty, complex role, then it makes sense as to why they chose MR-J.
