Okay, without getting too dirty, I’m going to post a link to an old fan podcast episode review of the pilot by ImaFreebish.
She gives Gold and his cane an awesome nickname. That is all 😆 😆
[adrotate group="5"]Maybe if he heal his leg with his dark power, that would mean that he will be green too and the pain remember him, who he was before all the mess begun. He will try to fool his son, when he looks and walk like he did without the magic. After all his son wanted only his father back.

Ok, just looked. I’m from Holland and still in season one, so I haven’t seen all the episodes yet, but the man is addictive, so I might have had one or two sneak peeks (or three or more). Rumpelstiltskin does not have a cane, never, not from the moment he becomes the Dark One. There is no cane in the episode he loses Bae, he walks without a crutch or cane (although he does plant the knife as a crutch in the ground and holds on to it, in order not fall in the hole, is this a hint?) There is no cane in the episodes with Belle, or Prince Charming, or Snowwhite or anyone. (My other theory was that the injury would be from his fight with Cora, Regina’s mother. The general idea there being that a wound substained by black magic that was not his own could not be healed by him. But no cane in the last few moments in FTL before the curse grabs hold either) So there is no reason Mr Gold would need a cane. Thus, the cane has to be something he wants to hold close. *Goes back to theory cane is some magic instrument he transformed… or maybe it is in it, perfect place to hide a wand or knife*
The most logical thing would be is that it contains the knife: Hidden in plain sight is always the best method. But when he thought August was Bae they dug up the knife. Unless …. Rumpel is always ten steps ahead of everyone, and he already admitted to Archie he was afraid his son would want to kill him. With that in mind, what if it was just a test, and THAT knife was a duplica. It would also explain why it could not control him. After all, saying please works fine on Regina, and he already knows who he is, so the knife should work too. Rumpelstitskin sure is devious enough to pull off such a scheme, it would be right up his alley. It all makes sense.
Or I am overthinking it and Robert Carlyle just uses it as an acting tool to give him that aristocratic gentleman look… It sure is working *drools*
And I would like to thank whoever made a movie of all the Rumpelstiltskin parts of season one and put it on Youtube. Thanks Baelish!
Spinning Gold please watch 1.19. Then you will know that the cane doesn’t hide knife, also that he is lame in the first season..

I think I just proven Rumpelstiltskin is NOT lame in FTL. At all. And given an alternative theory to bypass that what happens in episode 1×19. Now that the knife wouldn’t fit is another problem, but he is Rumpelstiltskin… I am sure he could find a way around it. But of course, it could also hold a magic wand.
not in the first season, because magic as extrem rare at this time…

Low on magic, not devoid of magic. When Regina crushes Graham’s heart, he still dies, something that could not have been achieved without magic still having it’s hold. When Gold says please, Regina listens: Magic. Gepetto’s parents are still puppets: Magic… after all, everybody else became human again,why haven’t they. Storybrooke is NOT our world, it is an inbetween land, placed in a protected bubble by the curse. Even the fact that no one ages is due to magic. Magic as strong as the dagger should certainly still work by that logic.
In the first season, it is only possible to make magic wiith magic that is already in Storybrooke that was brought fom ET. It is also understandable that Rumple let his leg like it is, because besides Regina he is the only one remembering (He remembers after Emma say her name to him). So it would be not a good time to heal him at this point even if he has some magic left, he wouldn’t spend it for that. In season two are complete other rules. Magic is there, but he is still not healing it, altough everybody knows him (and not like him) and know that the Dark One wasn’t limb. His attitude is staying Mr. Gold and not Rumpelstiltskin at all (no giggling, funny voices. He is the complete opposite of Rumpels behaviour calm and civilzed) and of course always going and looking like he was Rumpelstiltskin pre the Dark One. The question is why? Are this personal reason (Remind him of his old self, before the power corrupts him, trying to be the better man, don’t want to be the Dark One again and avoid magic that cause him to give in more to his Dark Side, staying like that, that Bae will think magic is taken by his father….) or is the prize of magic in this specific case to high? Also it could be that he doesn’t need the cane, but why the show that he is still lame. (I mean Belle tries hard that he his more honesty. Why to risk a fight for that he is know healthy)
And we are sure that he has the ability to heal. (He healed Baelfire,Dr. Frankenstein, Belle)

Tiara_Rose: You assume that due to the curse and losing his magic,his leg would go back to his old limping state. But he is Rupalstiltskin, he made the curse. He plans things out to a ridiculous degree, why would he do anything that reverts him back to a criple? To have a weakness that would leave him vulnerable? Sorry I don’t buy that. Plus why would the curse be designed to undo magic? It just cuts it off from the moment they land in our world, not the period before. All Rumpel/Gold’s contracts are still in place… just have gotten an ‘earthly’ sauce poured over them. Which is just another reason to believe mr. Gold still has (weak) magic in season one.
Yes, he has a cane, but I watched closely and he hardly leans on it. He doesn’t need the cane. He can pretend well enough though, he had years of experience.
The assumption he gets his magic back when he hears Emma’s name is just that. He doesn’t know what she looks like after all, of course he will be surprised to see her. And I think he knew perfectly well Henry was Emma’s and what that meant, when he chose Henry as Regina’s foster child, a decade earlier.The course trapped all of them in a land without magic. Regina thought that she could so take all the Happy Endings away (No Blue fairy, no Dark One and she as Mayor reigns all of them and watch how miserable they are), but she didn’t knew that there is a complete other reason behind the course, because as we all know the course is designed as portal that Rumple can go were he wants since 300 years ago. (Carlyle said it on a interview) It was not important to be limb or not. It doesn’t matter. The only things that matters to go to this speific realm.
He don’t get magic back, when he hears her name. He get his memory back. Two different things.
Mr. Gold is the lawyer of this town, so he was needed for the administration. Regina said it was Mr. Gold , who brought Henry there, but somebody from the outside world have to bring him, so would not be the one who choose (but that is suggesting), because he cannot go outside. (Maybe Pinocchio or it somebody else…). We don’t know the complete story yet. Hopefully we will know it shortly.It is her name that brings his memory back. He make it that way by himself. In the first episode he says: “Emma what a lovely name.” and goes outside with a smile. This is the second he get his memory back.
He plans things out to a ridiculous degree, why would he do anything that reverts him back to a criple? To have a weakness that would leave him vulnerable? Sorry I don’t buy that.
You asked the right question, because we don’t understand either that he don’t heal himself. But I don’t think that his leg is his weakness. Maybe he try to fool evryone that he is not dangerous, only a old man with no joy in his life.or as you said it could be that simple
Or I am overthinking it and Robert Carlyle just uses it as an acting tool to give him that aristocratic gentleman look… It sure is working *drools*
Because this is so true. I love Carlyes acting.;)
