ParticipantI think the extra push of the dagger was to actually kill Malcolm. Malcolm was still taking when Rumple stabbed him the first time, likewise Rumple. It’s possible the first stab wounded both of them but it was the second push that “killed” them. Rumple will be coming back though.

ParticipantI don’t think that *that’s* when the dagger reached him, I think it was already IN him. if you look at his face (and at Belle’s reaction) right after he plunges the dagger the first time, he definitely feels it and it hurts. I don’t know what did cause the light to come out? what was that extra push for?
actually, never mind, I think I know why the extra push. according to Malcolm he could have stopped it by removing the dagger, but maybe the extra push was him saying “no way” and that’s what killed them

The first stab to Malcolm undoubtedly did a lot of damage to him, though probably barely grazed Gold…. The 2nd one (and boy, Gold must be so strong) was the one that completed the job on both. I think that’s why the gold light started to flare upon the 2nd thrust – because the dagger truly penetrated Gold’s body (I can’t even say this without crying silent tears) at that moment. Seeing my baby in so much pain, trembling, hurts me still. By the way, who was the one groaning at the end – Gold or Malcolm? I’ve assumed Gold, but I can’t be sure. If it’s him, that just makes the entire scene even more devastating. I’ve written fan fiction where he’s been killed, but seeing it on screen is SO much more painful, sigh

I think your right….
I miss my babies, sigh.. I’m in the minority, I suppose, but given how upset I am about the separation and how negative I feel about the 2nd half, I’m glad for the hiatus. It’s allowed me to (somehow) relax a bit (though I’m going to get all frustrated and annoyed by filming spoilers again, I know it, lol) and think about how committed to the show I want to be, now and in the future. Plus, I have time to catch up on my DVRing and possibly some of the Bobby movies I’ve been holding off on watching……

I’m just tired of having to wait another half season for Rumbelle while having Regina and Robin Hood shoved in our faces. I’m tired of the separations. They’ve already proven that they’d fight for each other; why keep pounding that fact into our heads? It’s like the movie Groundhog Day…….over and over and over again.
The only reason I haven’t quit is because I’d punishing myself by doing so; I loved Claire and Charlie on LOST and I quit because I hated how they treated Emilie (Claire), but this is different; I am much more passionate about Rumbelle (that word doesn’t even do it justice) and I’m not sure I’d have the guts to walk away (even though I’d love to show Adam and Eddy the only way I can how upset I am).
So, here’s more of my wonderful, beautiful, inspiring, tragic babies !

AND because Bobby’s prank on Emilie still makes me giddy.
Look at Bobby’s face – and his tongue, lol. That hug, their smiles. Emilie’s laugh, lol……………I want more practical jokes, please!

I know what you’re saying and I also know that we disagree on this but I do think they’re going to be fully reunited by 315.
I love that outtake from S2 in the library.

ParticipantI know you guys were talking about the rumbelle flashback scene from the winter finale.
I saw this post and thought, I’d quote it here in case it was missed.
I’m thinking the RumBelle flashback happens after the curtains scene. Rumple’s still not completely open with Belle but he feels comfortable around her to tell her about Bae a bit.
And I remember, Jane Espenson said something like a lot of time had passed between scenes in Skin Deep (with the exception of Belle leaving and then coming back for TLK). So, it makes sense that’s where the flashback scene would have been.
For the current convo: and no suffering = no story. If rumbelle is happy now, I guarantee we won’t see them again until the series finale, or if ever.
@XGrlGamerX Obstacles are part of romance.

I hope you’re right. I may not be hopeful, but I’m trying very hard to NOT be negative……it’s not a pleasant feeling, lol.
Wasn’t that the best? I’m a big fan of practical jokes for many reasons, one of which is that you don’t bother pulling them on people you don’t like/care about. Emilie got pranked big time….So now when I watch this scene (which is actually one of my all time favoriters), I can’t help thinking about this, lol.
As to the finale FB, Jane confirmed to me that this was before that Skin Deep talk about Bae…..It always seemed like a very early scene to me. Since he did open up to her slightly here, I think it might have been sometime in the Lacey period (but still, he’s very gruff with her at first, so would it be post-library? It would probably have to be, but even though she – inadvertently-interrupted him, seeing him speak to her like that was off-putting). I sort of think that in Skin Deep, when she found the clothes, Belle put two and two together, remembered their earlier talk…..and decided to further broach the matter given they were on closer and better terms.
No one is asking for Rumbelle to have 24/7 fluff or to have their HEA now, but they are just one giant ball of tragedy; there is no balance to their story at all – it’s ALL obstacles. Yeah, Jane says the same thing all the time……….. I really do feel that if they pursue this path with them for the rest of the show, that they actually should not bother giving them a happy ending (it would feel false and untrue to the type of couple they’ve made them: tragic). I don’t want a HEA stuck onto the end of the show if we get zero togetherness from them or zero happiness beforehand; that would be a cop out, IMO, and it would feel like “hey, we never wanted them to be happy at all, but we’ll just give fans the HEA they asked for so they won’t be pissed off and have bad memories of thes how”.
There is simply no reason that Rumbelle can’t be together and face obstacles together. I’ve detailed different ways they can be together and still have angst….Keeping them apart constantly is not only wasting Bobby and Emilie’s rare chemistry (which angers me actually; it bothers me a great deal that they’re doing this), but it’s getting to be manipulative and repetitive
