not china… more like an unexplored part of FTl… as for she is doing there, she as “always wanted to see the world” remember?

She looks too much like Snow White. I do love the idea of Belle being given some scenes and her own story and episode, but they have her dressed up like Snow White. She even seems to be copying a bit of her stance and her facial expressions when she is being cautious or wary.
And it also seems so random that someone so tough and strong could be so easily kidnapped by Smee, who was unarmed. Or that she was so trusting him as to actually talk to him–a complete stranger.
I don’t want to make an judgements yet until the episode airs, but I cannot help but feel it all just looks so random, or a bit forced.
Yeah, I agree. Turning Belle in to another warrior princess seems a little forced to me. That was one of the things I liked about Belle, that she was true to the Disney version. She loved books, she was sweet and kind, and completely capable of being considered a strong woman without having to carry around a sword.
Sorry, but I think Belle looks phenomenal. Belle’s story is very different from Snow’s, so I don’t think the writers are going to use Snow as a model for Belle in this episode. And not every female warrior needs to be compaired to Snow. Mulan is a warrior too, but she’s nothing like Snow.

Yes, I agree. I think Belle looks awesome. I also think it’s a little unfair and a bit presumptuous to assume that every female fighter on the show is an attempt from the writers to turn them into another Snow White. Belle’s story is nothing like Snow’s, so there’s no way she can become another “Snow.”
Besides, Belle going off and having an adventure with Mulan makes sense for her character. She said in Skin Deep that she always wanted to run off and see the world. And in particular, she said that she always wanted to be brave. And this brief encounter with Mulan was her chance.

Since there was an Asian-ish door in Jefferson’s hat, I’d kinda been expecting Mulan’s land to be a whole different realm. Given that Belle’s gonna hook up with her, I guess it’s looking more likely that maybe she’s just in a different part of FTL. Guess we’ll have that clarified soon enough.

Well, to be fair, there are only so many facial expressions and bodily stances that a person can use to portray a certain emotion, so if she looks similar to Snow in that regard, that doesn’t strike me as odd.
As for being kidnapped by Smee in SB, keep in mind that that happened after she’d been locked up for about 30 years, and was finally able to venture out into the world again, so she’s still regaining her feet, so to speak, so I can believe there’d be a change in her personality.
BelleWarriorPrincess is in the mindset of being heartbroken with nothing left to lose, so she’s gonna just let loose and kick some arse and get her frustrations out. It also seems that perhaps whatever she’s doing will be related to Rumple somehow, given her screaming about never giving up fighting for him. Taking all that into consideration, I can buy this new side of Belle as being believable.
