    I think you should do a vote without the three Rumpel episodes because i actually would rather know that then just another poll where everyone is going to pick Skin Deep. The winner is going to be Skin Deep. I will never vote for Skin Deep, but it is going to win the poll.

    Rapunzel that is nice. This show is going to be wild with everyone remembering. It just seems so different. I can’t get over it.

    I still don’t think he could see the future. I think that he knew what the curse was going to do because he created it. He made the bottle of love from the hairs. He put that dark on the parchment of the dark curse he created so that when he met Emma in Granny’s Inn and heard her name he remembered.

    And he even said he knew that the queen would want to bring Maleficent like he knew her well enough to know that she couldn’t help, but to bring her like she was in a different form, and so he knew that the bottle of love would come with her and be safely hidden inside.

    I do think that Gold may have known that Henry was just under a sleeping curse and could be woken, but i don’t think he cared about that. I don’t think that Rumpel cared about Henry at all. He only cared about getting the magics so that he could get his power back and go find Bae. Why would Rumpel care about Henry at all? And Rumpel didn’t know about Belle so why would he even care of the curse was broken except for the fact that he wants to leave town?

    It is his fault that he lies by omission. If he wants to do a deal he should tell them what they are getting into. They may still choose to do the deal or choose not to, but at least then it wouldn’t be so evil of a thing. Like tricking a woman for her first born child just so that she could get out of poverty is pretty evil, but if he told her up front maybe she would have realized she could change her life on her own and just do it. I know it wouldn’t be as good of a story, but that doesn’t change the fact that what Rumpel is doing is lying and is causing pain and suffering and that he doesn’t care about causing pain and suffering as long as he is able to get what he wants.

    I think that if we really go back and think about what we know all of the evil that is happening that we have seen has been caused by Rumpel. Even what happened to Regina because i think that Cora did a deal with Rumpel to get her power and that led to Regina becoming who she is and that lead to Regina gaining magics as well so the long consequences of Rumpel’s choices have are horrifying for the world. That doesn’t negate the choices of the people who did deals with him, they are still in the wrong, and certainly Cora and Regina are in the wrong, but the choices made by those people also do not negate the choices Rumpel makes to do evil and the fact that he is under the dark one curse is not enough to say he is not culpable. He knows what he is doing and based on Skin Deep he can make other choices, but he doesn’t.

    I don’t understand why this seems rushed? I really feel like the entire season was leading to Emma believing. Like 24 hours ago in timeline August was yelling at her in the forest that it was all real and she needed to believe and she was the savior and then Emma tried to take Henry and then she decided to leave for him and Henry took the last ditch effort to show her it was real and that was two episodes ago. It seems like all of it was leading to this moment and i think it was just right.

    I do think that the Rumpel/Belle stuff seemed rushed, but honestly i think everything about their supposed “romance” has seemed unrealistic.

    Yeah i don’t really know. There is just always the apple tree symbol in Storybrooke. It is sort of Reginas’ thing so i thought it was an apple tree, but then in the second thought i wasn’t sure.

    This one was harder. I really liked A Land Without Magic and i love Hat Trick so i picked two. I also really love An Apple Red as Blood and Heart of Darkness.

    Dr. Whale did seem very thoughtful. And the Blue Fairy put her hand on his arm like in comfort. Maybe Dr. Whale isn’t evil and it was the curse making him act like a creep just like it did with Charming.

    This is really hard. I want to pick the Pilot, The Thing You Loved Most, and The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, but i just had to pick Snow Falls so i did.
