Why do Regina/EQ and Gold/Rumple REALLY continue to “play” o

He’s a keeper! 😀

I like the “Miller’s daughter” theory. It would explain a lot about why they want to be stronger then eachother and why they hate eachother. 🙂

Good luck watching them in timeline order Weedith. I tried it and got so confused.

Hmmmmm. You would almost need to separate out FTL since SB seems to be going in chronological order by episode. I guess the written timeline is the best resource.

I agree with you completely, Rumplegoldfankristi: no romance between EQ and Rumple. It would lower the level of the conflict from universal to personal. Right now, it seems the conflict is on a higher plane: not exactly good vs. evil, but more like wisdom vs. inexperience, with Rumple, in his centuries of experience, having learned not to let his emotions take control of his power (although he does occasionally slip, as when he turned Gaston into a rose–but then, wouldn’t we all have done that? 😛 )

But it does seem to me that their relationship is more than the curse buyer/curse seller one we’ve been shown so far, so I’m putting my money on an apprenticeship. My theory is that the young EQ came to Rumple to learn his tricks, and he–whether for self-gain or a vain hope he could teach her to use her power more judiciously–agreed to teach her. Or then again, maybe it’s part of the Dark Ones Code of Conduct that no deal can be refused (that would explain why Rumple accepted Ella’s contract, even though he knew better)

Dancyfarrow, I love your idea about wisdom vs. inexperience. 🙂 Regina’s power does seem to run on her hatred of Snow. I like the idea about the Dark One not being able to turn down a deal to :).

Its possible that Rumplestiltskin taught Regina magic. But why would she want to learn dark magic? Especially from the Dark One? I’ve always thought the she learned dark magic from Melificent. Ya know, cause they have the whole friend/enemy thing going on. I think Regina even looks up to her in a way.
