Well still it is the best theory and is most likely right. Though they could just throw in some random usage that has nothing to do with anything and doesn’t relate to the greater plot of the show. And i think not showing a body is a whole different thing. I agree that no body means not dead, but just because something isn’t said and is instead implied is good evidence that it is the case. It was heavily implied that Emma is more powerful then you think and then they show Rumpel making the bottle of love heavily implying that that bottle of love has to do with why it is Emma that has power in the real world and that heavily implies that that bottle of love has to do with the curse.

With respect to the Dark Curse…we have a timeframe as to when it was created. Regina and Maleficent traded it Dark for the Sleeping. Maleficent seems older than Regina. Maleficent dealt with Sleeping Beauty when she was about the same age as when Regina dealt with Snow White.
Depending on how much older Mal is to Regina, dark curse was created before the Sleeping Beauty story and in and around the same time Sleeping curse too.

We like to think that those bottles are the dark curse but how do we know he wasn’t making the cure for the curse?? Are you going to create something like that and not create a cure? It could be the curse creation but also the cure creation.

Ummm Im pretty sure most people think the bottles are for the cure???? But maybe Ive got that wrong 😕
Personally I didnt really over think his bottles- he is powerful, has magic & makes deals with people all the time, ergo he probably needed/used bottled magic/essences often as he didnt have access to a fairy wand lmoa 😉
Im of the opinion that the fact he has true love bottled when NO ONE else does is what makes it important/ so special & why we saw it being made – was it to break the curse, was it just for his own personal use, was it to neutralize EQ (she’s his only equal from the actors interviews)? – Who knows for sure, my moneys on either his own use (he doesnt believe anyone could love him) or more likely EQ/Regina neutralization – either of those tho could be considered as ‘for breaking the curse’ I guess, so Ill just wait in see lol 🙂

Ive gone off of the whole speculation thing atm ONLY cause I dont want to fall in love with an idea of who someone is or whats going to happen & then HATE what actually happens on the show lol
Which is why Im tending to stare clear of Rumps threads & Im now staying clear of August threads too (to many OMG!! They better not’s!!! for me lol) 😉

So how about we turn this thread away from Rumps reasons for his curse & get back to Emma or how at least how the curse effects her 🙂

But i think the cure is part of the curse. They are not separate things. Like Emma being the savior was woven into the curse because of the true love is from her parents. That seems the implication of what was going on in this episode. He is invested in Snow’s future. And Emma is more powerful then she thinks. Because her parent’s love is part of the curse.

Rumple said in the Pilot that Emma was the curse breaker and “will save us all”. “Get her to safety and on her 28th birthday she will find you.” Those potions are as of now not explained and can be anything or nothing at all. I will say that if they are nothing at all only that of the hairs of Charming and Snow will play a part. It may end up being for something every single one of us had not thought of too.

But we are discussing the options. We are not going to know things for certain until they show us how they made the curse which they may never do. It was heavily implied that the hairs, the bottle of love, has to do with the curse. We are not disagreeing that it is not for certain, but if we can’t discuss the possibilities, and especially one so heavily implied then what are we doing here.

The two hairs the Rumpel collected from Snow White and Prince Charming seemed to combine into a double helix, leading some people to say that it was a true love potion. I’m wondering if the double helix was also the DNA for Emma herself. Back in episode 1, SW and PC went to Rumpel when he was imprisoned. Not only did he know she was expecting a girl, but so did SW, even though Prince Charming didn’t. How could Snow White have known the sex of her unborn child, since presumably, there was no ultrasound technology in FTL? My theory is that Rumpel at some point could have given SW, who perhaps had trouble conceiving the good old-fashioned way, the “true love potion” which resulted in her falling pregnant with Emma. That is how they both knew Emma would be a girl.

Lol quite aside from it being FTL 😉 Some/many people just know what they are having most well before they are told via ultrasound (if they want to be told)- my mother, 2 of my friends who have children, both knew to their cores they had conceived with-in 12hrs of doing so as well, 1 of them also knew her 1st was a boy – which was confirmed by ultra sound later (her hubby thought he was a girl lol), when i asked her how she could possibly know the gender at like a mth old (Im lil miss science/prove it & I’ll believe it in our group of friends), she said “I just know” … I dont know how to this day, but she has been right with all 4 of her kids!!!!
SW was a good 20+ weeks on considering her baby bump – she also didnt really know until Rumple told her she was having a girl/Emma – he’s magic & has a creepy weird obsession with babies, so I guess he doesnt need an ultra sound lol
& Charming is right we all know Emma’s job is to save them all – BUT did he actually say she will break the curse? – I may have to rewatch the pilot while I wait for The Return 😉

I believe rumple said, “only she can break the curese. get the child to safety…….”

Ok, I’ve been watching this show and for the most part I love it but there is one thing I hate…..Emma’s waving character. One of the first things she said was that she could always tell when someone was lying, well, if that is the case, why can’t she tell when all her nemesis’s are lying. If I’m missing something, please point it out.

Also, each week she goes from cowardice to strong woman when it comes to Regina. No consistency.
