    I wonder if Rumple’s “my kingdom” line wasn’t meant so literally. Perhaps he meant it more in a “this is my domain” way?

    Like that Rumple believe he is the big cheese and there can’t be a bigger cheese than himself?

    I’ve no idea anymore. I think Rumple’s devolution into a villain with the complexity of Skeletor is  a symptom of the larger problems with the show and what seems to be its creative bankruptcy. There seems to be no overarching plan, sloppy world building, MacGuffins at every turn. It’s not surprising that character writing is also suffering.

    Also, if we take Rumple’s statement at face value, I think the villains in the show seem to have a seriously inflated sense of the attractiveness of SB. We’ve now had Zelena, Hades, Arthur, and presumably now Rumple plotting to take over. I mean have they seen the place? Doesn’t anyone else find it mildly ridiculous that we have a parade of ultra-powerful villains with untold magical powers fighting over a little suburban Podunk (no offense to Steveston, it seems like a perfectly charming place, but…)

    HAHAHHA.

    S7: He-Man and She-Ra take on Rumple “Skeltor” and Belle “Evil-Lyn”

    A Podunk with NO ONE IN IT. Seriously, that town is a ghost town except for the CharMillStiltskins and their “friends”

    yeah, kind of in a “you’re in my town now” kind of way.

    “Friends” is too strong a word, I’d say “walking, talking plot conveniences”.

    One thing I miss about the early seasons of Once is the small town feel. In season 1 you never saw every nook and cranny of Storybrooke but it felt alive with people.

    And now according to spoilers Rumple may stay behind in NY, if we dont find out he was put inside the pandora box or something, so if he stays in NY, he is getting update to a big city, LOL.
