This episode had me transfixed. It was brilliant. Poor Rumple!
Favourite:
Rumple’s backstory
The Malcolm is Pan reveal and how Pan actually looked like he cared for Rumple as little Rumple was being carried off by the shadow.
Rumple actually gets his impish giggle from Malcolm.
Rumple’s good looks line (Interesting since in his phone call to Belle he described himself as an “ugly man”)
Every scene containing Robert Carlyle and/or Robbie Kay. Two brilliant actors.
Least Favourite:
The two weeks from tonight announcement-I need the next episode now!
No Felix- What was Felix doing if he wasn’t at the camp and wasn’t with Pan?
Neal not trusting Rumple- I want to like Neal and liked him better after last week but COME ON! Neal just be nice to Rumple! Please!
Rumple being trapped in Pandora’s box- I want Rumple to be free! I wonder through if Rumple represents hope since he’s the only thing in the box and he’ll be released.
Neal telling Rumple that he will help Charming because of being family and that’s what family do- That was where I disliked Neal the most this episode. Rumple can’t get TWO MINUTES ALONE with Belle without Snowing interrupting, yet Rumple has to help Charming out of the goodness of his heart. How about Snowing leave RumBelle alone, that should have been the trade!
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of Felix
