    But that’s the whole point. Each character is going to have to go through their own personal journey to overcome their greatest weaknesses. 😉 It will be pretty interesting to see.

    I agree. He finally saw a glimpse of remorse and regret from Mr. Gold. I think it’s the beginning of his redemption arc. The audience needs to see that he is at the very least, remorseful. The writers show us these kinds of Rumpel-centric episodes for a reason. 😉

    I don’t know. Both Snow and Regina tried to kiss their loves when they were dead or dying and it didn’t work so i hope they don’t make the exception for Rumpel.

    Charming and Daniel weren’t cursed though. Rumpel is cursed with being the dark one so it could play that way.

    All magic comes with a price!

    Good point. Besdies, true love’s kiss isn’t meant to bring back the dead. It’s mean tto break curses, and Rumpel is cursed.

    I agree with that but for Rumpelstiltskin his redemption isn’t just being remorseful and sorry, he actually has to conquer his fear and be brave.

    As for the Kiss. I’m just saying that’s how beauty and the beast ended so it is possible for Rumpelstiltskin to perform an act of bravery that hurts him and be saved by True Loves kiss.

    I agree. but Mr. Gold did attempt to overcome his fears. He gave August the dagger as sign of him finally giving up his power. He said “I chose power once, and now I’m choosing you.” So, Mr. Gold did finally overcome his cowaradice and lust for power. The dagger was his power, but he was willing to give it to his son.

    ^This. In that one moment, Mr. Gold finally chose his son over his power. The only problem is that Mr. Gold’s offering was all for nothing. August was fooling him, so we’re back at square one.

    Snow kissed Charming after he was mortally wounded and curse enacted and Regina kissed Daniel after his heart was ripped out. The kisses between Snow and Charming that did work were the after he was shot by an arrow and the magical one that wakes her; both mind you when a spell was casted not after a wounding.
