ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
I liked the “Marty McFly” Back to the Future reference. These episodes felt a lot like that movie.
I don’t think Regina’s guards had that long a life-span anyway. (Ha!) The ones that were killed in the altered timeline might just as well been killed by an enraged Queen in the first timeline. To Regina, the guards were expendable. To the viewers, the guards were generic and interchangeable.
He’s more than Emma’s ex-lover. He’s a town hero. He’s Henry’s father and Rumple’s son. I’m sure Henry appreciated the gesture.
The story has been so focused on Regina’s redemption, that I think they may be saving Rumple’s redemption for a later time. If Belle and Rumple are going to work, Belle needs to stop being a doormat. The change has got to come from Belle as well as from Rumple. We got a taste of this when Belle (finally) lashed out at Regina for holding her captive for so long. I would like to see Belle and Rumple together, but maybe in a healthy relationship? He either needs to turn good, or she needs to turn bad.
