Rumple – still a coward

I take your point. I used the word coward because it was used to describe Rumple in his pre-Dark one days, and he described himself as a coward. I was thinking about his reaction to Belle’s predicament, and obviously did not analyze his actions the way you did.

Your comment, as well as some made by others, reminds me of the speech by the Wizard at the end of Oz. I’m really hoping that Mr. Gold, along with Neal (Bae?) and Emma will end up in Oz – where Mr. Gold will assume the role of the lion, and learn the same lesson the lion did.

Oh yes completely understood I only meant on how it was used on the show (especially since it seemed he lived in a feudalistic society–though certain areas could have been going through a renaissance era already—so it seems that FTL was running parallel for the most part to societal and political climate of our own world—or other worlds influenced slightly from our own—and that was quite the tangent).

I do like the idea of Oz. I wonder which roles would the others fill? Henry could be Toto. Although I would like Henry as Dorothy to help the adults move along in their journey. Plus even if he was a part of the adventure (of breaking the curse) it was mostly having Emma believe so that she could have her own adventure. Since adventure runs in the family it would make sense to have him be Dorothy. So Rumple is the cowardly lion (love that). Now for the Tin Man to find his heart and the Scarecrow to find his brain… (although in the story it seemed that Dorothy made it known they needed both).

I see Emma as the Tin Man. I think she still has to come to terms to her heart, her desires, her feelings, vulnerabilities. Bae needs to keep his brain (his wits) about him when dealing with a long last dad, and the situation at hand. Although I do think ultimately Rumple, Emma and Bae are going to have Henry stress the importance the strength of one’s character (courage), heart and brain all together and needed.

I wonder if they are going to have them visit Oz or have it allegorical. Henry might wonder why and we might see Dr. Oz tell him that it is not the place that is important but the journey itself that Oz might be needed for some and not for others O: or something like that… maybe even have Oz promise to let Henry visit xD (Although I just had the thought of Cora with a house on top of her xD)
