I have to wonder if they subverting your expectations by making him NOT be the hero as you would expect. (PS: nice call to Gendry)

Agree with both of these, esepically the last. I think WHEN Rumple comes back (not IF) he will be stripped of his DO’s curse and be something new–either non magical at all (and will have to learn to live with that) or something “lighter” in terms of magic. I see the first one happening more than the second, to be honest. I think Rumple’s arc has always been learning to be a man again.
Sorry in advance for having to put this with numbers… I struggle with quotations :S
To the first comment, Yep, probably… that is why i waited till PP was death… i expected something behind that story. (Even the Jason Ogg the smith of Lancre in Discworld is a nice guy, and Prattchet likes twisting everything XDD)
And to the second one, I think wiser could be understand that way, yes. Although I kind of prefer him having ‘white’ magic… there is a lack of good magic in Once, all we have are fairies, and being Blue their leader, ‘good’ is a big assumption (to me at least)
