I think Rumpel has an array of different reasons for creating the curse. To defeat Regina, to become someone else, to break his own curse, to find someone who he lost. God only knows how many reasons Rumpel has for creating the curse.
And I agree about the potion. I think it part of Emma’s “essence.” 😉

I think Rumpel has multiple reasons for doing anything. Such as when he traded the info about Snow’s whereabouts for Charming’s cloak. He primarily wanted it for Charming’s hair, but he probably wasn’t lying when he said his castle was drafty and that did look like a nice, warm cloak.
I’m curious to find out how the curse the will be broken. Mr. Gold and Regina seem to have two very big, but still very different, plans for the curse and for Storybrooke. And if neither one of them wants the curse broken, I’m not sure if Emma and Henry will be able to break it. I think the writers know that, and that’s why they brought in August. August may have some info on how the curse is broken. And hopefully, Mr. Gold secretly wants the curse broken too. 😉
…god, I hope so. 😯
Yeah, if neither of them is willing to budge on the curse, then Emma will be in for a real battle. But I guess that’s the point, right? Emma needs to struggle in order for the show to last past season 1.
Mr. Gold seems to be the man behind the curtain, doesn’t he? But that’s why I love him so much. I like how he’s able to subtly manipulate any given situation. That aspect of his character makes him even more terrifying than the Evil Queen. The Evil Queen is more boastful and obvious about her plan sometimes, whereas Mr. Gold comes off as more quiet and subtle. We’re in for a pretty scary battle this season.
It is very hard to tell which side Rumple is on. He is all about the deal in which the conditions or the string attached favors him. There are things that are for certain: first he did this for his son to avoid the Ogre Wars (getting the powers of the Dark One) because he lacked power. He fought in an Ogre War and probably hated it or seen something he did not want to see, so he did not want Bae to go through that. Belle was to only other person other than Bae who had shown love for Rumple and it is that which he lacks. Rumple seemed to have fallen in love with Belle and did not want to lose his power unless he himself chose to do so on his own accord and that was why he was mad at Belle. He was furious at Belle because at the time it was his belief that Regina had put her up to it she she can have ultimate power in Fairy Tale Land. It was only when Regina who had confirmed that Belle really loved him that Rumple realized what he had lost; which was what he strived for the most and that is love. Everyone who had loved him in the past left him and nobody after that loved him until Belle who left him because of that misunderstanding which was his fault after the fact which he regrets even in Storybrooke. I do not believe his is evil on purpose but evil due to him trying to do the right thing. The Dark Ones Curse in ruling his mind. Nevertheless when it comes to the big picture he is the main villian of the whole story and will probably the last character to change. I think every character (good or evil) needs to change and realize who they are for the curse to be broken, good.
I really think that if Rumpel does evil and even if something good comes out of it in the end that it is still evil and should not have been done. The ends do not justify the means.

Yeah, I agree with ALL OF THIS.
Mr. Gold’s character is a hard one to pin down. We’ve seen him do terribly evil things, but at the same time, the writers keep showing us glimpses of his softer side. He’s colored with so many different shades of gray. Hopefully, by the end of the series, he’ll find a way to redeem himself. We’ve already seen that he’s completely capable of love, so the possibility of redemption is certainly there. It all depends. But right now, I’m just enjoying the deliciousness of his character. My ears always perk up when he’s in the room.

That’s what makes Mr. Gold’s character so complex. We know he’s done evil. We’ve seen him demonstrate numerous acts of evil. But the writers keep countering those acts of evil and selfishness with episodes like “Desperate Souls” and “Skin Deep.” Next week’s episode, “The Return,” will undoubtedly do the same thing in presenting Rumpel in a much softer light. I think that’s why there’s so many debates on who’s side is Mr. Gold really on. In the end, I think he’ll side with Emma, but not for the sake of helping her and her family, but so that he can save his family, Baelfire and Belle. His goals and Emma’s goals will find a way to cross paths.
I just don’t understand how Desperate Souls and Skin Deep counteract his evil. In Desperate Souls he burns down the count’s castle, kills the dark one, kills like five soldier guys, and pretty much makes his son afraid of him. In Skin Deep Rumpel kills Gaston because he is rude to him, takes Belle captive in exchange for saving her town from death by ogre, then when Bell tries to help him he freaks out, swears at her, grabs her, throws her in a dungeon and locks her up, and then throws her out of the castle. I guess at least he was upset about it after he treated Belle that way.
Oh and i forgot in the real world, he kidnapped Belle’s father and then nearly beat him to death with a cane.
