Reading between the lines

[toothfairy]

I saw this article at Wetpaint: http://www.wetpaint.com/once-upon-a-time/articles/once-upon-a-time-season-2-episode-16-spoilers-10-hints-about-the-millers-daughter

I’m using the list they gave, and am adding my own stuff in, as I read between the lines:

1. Based on what we saw here, Episode 15: “The Queen Is Dead” will reveal some very interesting backstory.
……A lot of flash-backs including Neal's backstory with Hook, and I bet this episode has some Graham in it.

2. “There’s no coming back from murder.”/”There’s no coming back from death, either.”
……No coming back from murder……Hook tries to murder Rumple. I think this will permanently impact Emma's view of Hook. Hook fans, your hopes for Captain Swan are dashed. You've been reminded that you are unappreciated, and irrelevant.
……No coming back from death……This has me expecting some Graham flash-backs

3. Love — familial, romantic, and otherwise — has always been at the heart of OUAT, and nowhere is that as true as this episode.
……Oh, what horrible tragedy will befall the poor Charming family in this episode? Snowing, Rumbelle, etc., the persecution and drama will run rampid

4. The flashbacks in this episode provide one of our favorite revisions of a classic fairy tale yet, perfectly melding the story we know from legend with the characters and history we know from OUAT.

……I thought K&H said no Peter Pan until next season. Then again, could be Beauty and the Beast, since we've all been guessing Hook is OUAT's Gaston. Attention to that point, this has me wondering about Hook's fate as well, by the ep's end. I doubt he'll be turned into a rose. Again Hook fans, you've been reminded that you are unappreciated, and are irrelevant.

5. “Magic is about emotion” is a lesson multiple people learn this episode.
……Drama will run rampid. Lots of tears!

6. An unexpected declaration of love is sure to upset some fans.
……Neal and Tamara (you'll be introduced to his fiance. Thinking he's going to propose here)

7. Rumbelle shippers have something to look forward to, but they might shed a few tears.
……Beauty and the Beast

8. A normally noble character shows an unexpected manipulative streak.
……Thinking this will be David

9. Always think your deals through — especially when you make a change.
……A heart in exchange for a dagger

10. We thought “Manhattan” was Robert Carlyle’s best performance to date, but we might have to update that to “The Miller’s Daughter.” Lana Parrilla (Regina) also does a fantastic job. Heck, most of the main cast gets to show off some serious acting chops this week.
……Okay, so he's a great actor! So is Colin O'Donoghue! So is Jennifer Morrison! So is Gennifer Goodwin! The sweetness of the constant butt-kissing and over-attention to Robert Carlyle is wearing out it's welcome. It was nice, to watch the Rumbelle love story at first. It was sweet. Now, it's fermentation is getting moldy!

I’m guessing you’re not a big Rumple fan?

All magic comes with a price!

I was about to say so

Doubt that Neal will propose to Tamara…there is no need…Emma is supposed to find out that the two of them are already engaged in The Queen is Dead if I am remembering the spoiler correctly.

These spoilers are about “The Miller’s Daughter”, not “The Queen is Dead.”

That’s what I was saying…that it couldn’t happen in the Miller’s Daughter…We find out that Tamara is Neal’s fiancee in the Queen is Dead…he already proposed or she wouldn’t be his fiancee. Besides a declaration of love between a man and his fiancee would not be “unexpected”. This may be between Cora and Rumple since another spoiler said that their flashback included seduction.

classic fairy tale is here the keyword. Looking at the title of the episode actually think it’s quite simple the tale of Rumplestiltskin. To prepare an online text of the version of the Brothers Grimm

Yes, others are good actors too, but what Robert Carlyle is showing is not just good, it’s brilliant, he’s in a class on his own. And until some award people notice and honor it I’m all for pointing it out again and again.

I’m a big Colin O’Donoghue fan too, and I do believe he’s every bit as good an actor as Robert Carlyle, but lets give credit where it’s due. Robert Carlyle is one of the best actors I’ve ever seen. With his talent being what it is, I just hope he’s not being underserved by using his abilities on tv, rather than on the silver screen. He’s Oscar material.

I think that he chose to do TV because the schedule made it easier to spend time with his family(and it was more stable job wise)…I believe that was something he said when he played Dr. Rush on SGU…if I’m not mistaken…been a while since I read it.

I really admire that! 😀
