@ weedith: I have to agree with your assessment of the actress who plays Belle.
I hate to say it because Emilie de Ravin seems like a lovely person, but I have never been terribly impressed with her emotional range.
I thought she was way too composed to be believable, either in episode 12 or 14. She did make a nice little speech to Grumpy about love, but it seemed too perky to be wistful. Also, in episode 12, I found her too pushy in her interactions with Rumple. She didn’t have the right balance of fear, followed by a softening towards him. Instead, it was curiosity followed by almost demanding throwing herself at Rumple.

I agree slurpeez. I thought that it went a little too quickly from her being scared of him, to her being curious, and then there she was trying to kiss him which seemed like a big step for where their relationship was at.
Maybe it was just one of those spoiler situations that I think weedith brought up earlier today or last night in a different thread. Skin Deep is soooo my favorite episode so far and as a major Rumbelle shipper I think I was just so excited to have Belle in another episode that maybe I was just let down that it wasn’t a major Rumbelle moment. Because like I said before, I did like the way she acknowledged that she and Rumple needed to be together when she told Dreamy to go to Nova because he needed to be with his love.
I do really like Emile de Raven and I think she was the perfect choice as Belle. I think the problem with anything feeling rushed in Skin Deep was the fact that they only had one episode to fit the Beauty and the Beast story into. I’m guessing they were counting on the fact that most people already knew the story. With that said – it was hard for me to really tell if I felt if anything was rushed since I felt like I knew what was supposed to have happened that we didn’t get to see on screen. I read somewhere today that the director’s cut is 60 minutes long so they obviously had a lot they had to cut out (that will hopefully make it’s way to the DVD).
I think Robert Carlyle recently tweeted they actually had close to 60 minutes worth of Rumbelle scenes for Skin Deep. So I’m sure some of the problem was the story had to be edited to fit the time constraints.
Hope we’ll get the missing scenes in the Season DVD!
Sadly, somehow I missed that it was a Robert Carlyle’s Tweet that I got the information from??? Man, I’m really slipping here . . .
By the way – it’s still rumplegoldfankristi here, just shortened the screen name since everyone made fun of how long it was on the podcast. Actually now it matches my screen name everywhere else too.

I saw that on my tumblr. There’s actually a twitter campaign going on, I think, to make that 60 minutes Director’s Cut available on the DVD.
Really 60 minutes? I don’t know about that. Why would they film 60 extra minutes? Maybe he was just exaggerating a little bit.
I don’t think they mean 60 extra minutes. I think they mean that in total they had filmed 60 minutes worth of footage of Rumple and Belle but in order to get it to fit into the one hour time slot including commercials they had to edit out quite a bit of the 60 minutes. So it would be like when they include cut footage on a movie DVD so you can see what they filmed but but weren’t able to include.
That still seems very unlikely. Maybe he just means they had to do a couple three takes of each scene and there were a couple deleted bits. I just can’t imagine they filmed that much extra. Maybe the actor just thought it was a lot because that was the first Rumpel centric episode.

Robert Carlyle has been acting for 30 years. I would think he knows the difference between filming multiple takes of the same scene and filming different scenes. I imagine the 60 minutes is an estimate on his part but I would trust him to have a pretty good idea of how much they filmed.
