My least favorite moment was when Snow and Charming were discussing about Chaming lying to her. I mean: really!? She was so selfish. I wanted to yell: “it’s not just about you, Snow! You can’t think about how your daughter would react about loosing Charming?” And then… the worst part: Charming agreed with her. It was just too infuriating.

 

I have two favorites moments:

1. When Belle casted the cloaking spell: it was so amazing seeing Belle and the dwarves. And it was the first interaction between Belle and Grumpy after the curse;

2. All scene in Gold’s shop: especially the interaction between Arial and Belle. It was so great seeing Belle so pessimist, loosing her self-reliance, and Ariel just giving it back to her and being optimist for her. The two of them are quite a duo!

That’s a good point, but I also think that is part of Cursed Belle’s identity. Belle has a sense about people as well. This is just Belle’s trait coming out in Lacey. Don’t know if that’s magic or just part of the basic “Belle” story. Her greatest ability is that she can see beyond the monster.

I suppose could be a spark of magic in Belle, something she had even before she learn anything about magic. Like Emma’s ability to see when the people are lying to her.

We do! There are many people around these parts who are a big fan of the theory that Tinkerbell might be Belle’s mother.

Maybe she is, maybe she’s not. But she could be, the series gave us some clues. I think this would be amazing!

I think so. Here’s my theory about Belle being magical:

 

“I always thought Belle was an ordinary woman, in sense that she had not magic. There is beauty in Rumpelstiltskin falls in love for someone ordinary, powerless. But after watching the series a few times I had to admit that I no longer believe in Belle as a powerless person.

First, there is her ability to talk about the heart of the people. In the nineteenth episode of the second season, ‘Lacey’, a forgetful Belle tells Rumpelstiltskin that she knows his feelings are real. ‘I have a sense about people. I can’t explain how but I can just tell‘.

Recently, I found myself thinking about three scenes.

1. The first is the one that Belle has a dream in which Rumpelstilstskin gives her a necklace, and, while the two are talking, the dwarves come into the shop and start looking for their pickaxes – it’s the first scene of the fourth episode of the season two, The Crocodile.
2. The second one is from the episode twenty-one of season two, Second Star to the Right, when Rumpelstiltskin is showing his magic to Lacey and he makes a necklace to her – very similar to the necklace that Belle saw at her dream on episode four.
3. The third one is from episode twenty-two of season two, And Straight On ‘Til Morning, it’s when the dwarves are in Rumpelstiltskin’s shop looking for Sneezy cup and Grumpy gives the potion to Rumpelstiltskin – the one that makes people remember who they were at their original lands.

The connection of these three scenes is very awkward, at least for me.

There is also this scene at the very end of the episode twenty-two (season two), when Rumpelstiltskin says to Belle that he could never come back from the journey to save Henry and she says to him: ‘I understand, but I also know that the future isn’t always what it seems’. What make me think: ‘okay, she knows that the future isn’t always like the people see it because she had the experience or because Rumpelstiltskin told her?’.”

This all was thought before last episode. Even before this season starts. Now, well… I can add to this the fact that she actually casted a spell. And, for that, she had to believe: a very fairy thing. Do you guys know that Belle is daughter of a fairy in one of the versions of Beauty and the Beast?

Well… that’s my theory.
