I think that was because when he met Emma and said her name in Granny’s Inn he got his memories back. It was very important that he got Emma’s name before the curse.

Ooo! I hadn’t thought of that! Great theory!
Maybe Rumpel knew that hearing Emma’s name would trigger his memories once he was in Storybrooke.
April 9, 2012 at 11:43 pm #141643hjbauParticipantYeah Midnight. That is what i think. That was sort of the theory at the time of Ep 1 when he walks in and is all like “Emma, what a pretty name” or whatever he says that he remembered then and not always. We will see.

I really like this theory. I always thought that first scene between Mr. Gold and Emma was a bit…strange. At first, I thought it was because he remeber ed her name from Fairytale. But it could be that he didn’t remember until he heard her name for the first time. Hmm, I guess we’ll find out soon enough. 😉
April 10, 2012 at 9:45 am #141683mickeyParticipantI like that theory too, but there’s one problem with it, namely Henry. He did procure Henry for Regina and that couldn’t have been a coincidence. He must have known whose kid Henry was.
April 10, 2012 at 11:35 am #141685hjbauParticipantNot necessarily. I think they could get around that if they wanted to. There could be some other way that Henry is chosen especially if we know there are people on the outside with some knowledge of what is going on here like August.

Uh, that’s actually a really good point. I’ve always believed that Mr. Gold chose Henry intentionally. I think he knew that Henry was Emma’s son. Personally, I think Rumpel mapped out his entire plan before the curse even took effect. He seems to be behind the actions and decisions of so many of the characters on this show.
And to answer the question of whether or not Rumpel can see the future…I actually don’t necessarily believe that he can see the future. I think Rumpel maps out numerous scenarios and then pushes them to come to fruition. He makes sure that his plans always come true. So it only looks like he can tell the future, when in fact, it’s just him manipulating the lives of Storybrooke to make sure that his plan always meets its destination.
It’s actually kind of creepy when you think of it that way. 😆 😯
April 10, 2012 at 2:56 pm #141705pandoras impParticipantI think he intentionally chose Henry too. However I think he originally planned it would be Cinderella’s baby instead of Emma and that’s why he wanted the child.

Ooo! I like that theory too! Rumpel did seem pretty interested in Cinderella’s baby right before the curse took effect. Maybe he made a list of potential candidates that he could use for…well…whatever it is he’s trying to accomplish. 😆
April 11, 2012 at 12:18 am #141778beauty the beastParticipantI hope we finally learn why Rumpel is so interested in first-born children in “The Return.” I want to say that it probably has something to do with Bae, but the whole true love potion is making me second guess myself. I also think he needs children born from true love. But how exactly will those children factor into the potion or curse?
