There is a loving relationship between Milah and Rum. Rum’s relationship with Milah is described as “sweet, fun” and more open in contrast to his relationship with Belle. He leaves for battle not knowing that Milah is pregnant. We will see how their relationship changed so profoundly.

We know this just by looking at the promo pics. I’m a major Rumbeller, but I’m glad Rumple had some happy times in his life. He doesn’t need to be miserable his life long just so people will think his love is true to Belle. Although, I’m still not a Milah fan because she did end up becoming bitter and resentful enough towards him to leave and abandon her son. I don’t even care if she’d just have left Rumple. Couples grow apart, but the Bae thing really bothers me. Not even that she left Bae. Not all women are meant for motherhood, but she left him in the most cowardly way imaginable. Ironic that she keeps calling Rumple this, but in the end she was one too because she didn’t face her child or husband that she wanted to leave.

I had a nightmare this morning. Well, it wasn’t a nightmare, but Milah wasn’t dead and in present day Storybrooke and Gold was thinking about taking her back despite all she did. Mr. Gold in my dream reminded me more of pre-curse Rumple than who he is now, but he still had the suits and power. For some reason, he just turned to putty every time she came around. Half the dream is fuzzy, but I do remember getting the feeling she only wanted Rumple back because in this world he was rich and powerful. I do remember that Gold felt he owed it to her to get back together because she was his wife and Bae’s mother. Meanwhile, Belle was still there. I think she was still without her memory. He was conflicted because he really loved Belle but felt he should be with Milah and that it would be easier because she didn’t remember him anyway. But I also remember Belle being in the same room with Gold and having a really hurt look on her face. Strange dream.

At least this dream was show-related. Last Rumple dream I had, he was the Dark One persona and terrorizing Walgreens while I was trying to hide and stare at him at the same time. Weird thing was that last night I was thinking about SwanTheif and up pops Rumple and Milah in my dreams.

As for the dagger, I never dreamed he’d take it. Like it was said, it would never pass airport inspection. Joking aside, I do think Cora wants to control him, not necessarily kill him. We’ve never seen Dark One Rumple controlled by anyone. He’s always been in possession of his own dagger…unless you’re reading Rumbelle fanfics, but that’s a way different type of control I can’t talk about here. 😎

On of the first things I thought in the when I woke up Monday morning was “Hmm…I wonder how long it will be before the sneak peaks are up?”

I’m just hoping that scene in the promo isn’t the ending scene. I hate that. I hope its in the beginning so we get actual Nealfire stuff going on and not just Emma gasping, “No!”

I liked that it was during the chase with the Giant that it was revealed that he was David. It reminded me of the story of “David and Goliath”.

I didn’t doubt that David’s name was David. It just seems like the thing for Regina to do. When he woke up from the coma, he needed an identity so what better name than the peasant name he was born with. To Regina, this was probably a slap in the face, to be demoted from “Prince James” back to the lowly “Shepherd David”. He was no longer the beloved Prince.

We know they’re on the water, so maybe they’re clear down on the border between Maine and New Hampshire and for some reason the people of Storybrooke don’t know how to look north of the town on a map. 🙂

If this was real life, I’d say that it was cheaper to fly out of Boston. But then I’d say if you’re driving to Boston and doing a road trip drive on down to New York is worth the 4-5 extra hours of car time. Can you tell I don’t fly?

Sometimes it’s quicker just to drive. I live in Western PA and my mom used to have to fly out to the other side of the state for conferences sometimes, usually a four hour drive. One of the people she went with decided to drive. They left at the same time and the guy was waiting for them at the airport to pick them up. By the time they drove to the airport, checked their luggage, flew, got their luggage back, the guy had already made the trip. They drove after that. That was before 9/11, and I can’t imagine how much more time it would take now.

I would say that they use Boston not just for international audiences. The United States is a vast place to travel and Americans are sometimes sadly unfamiliar with geography outside their own region. I still have trouble deciding on map puzzles where Iowa and Nebraska go, but I can piece the East coast together in nothing flat. So if they mention Portland, people might not know exactly where it is, but most people, hopefully, know that Boston is in New England and north of New York.

I rambled way too much there.

Maybe we can lock her, if she’s Neal’s girlfriend, and Hook in some closet somewhere and just forget about them. 😆

I just love that this show has so many things to look forward to. I was caught from the beginning by the fairytale aspect (I love fairytales). Frustrated, but facinated with how Snowing would eventually get together. Then Rumbelle happened and my heart was shattered and then I just knew I’d be utterly addicted once Bae returned and we found out who Henry’s father was, hopefully the same guy. This show is fantastic.

I wish I could watch Tallahassee again but my episodes were saved on my computer, which died and I haven’t been able to get them off my old hard drive yet. 😥 I miss my episodes. But the thought that in a few days we’ll be getting Gold traveling with Henry and Emma and then the following week Nealfire, even if he is only in the end, makes me extremely happy.

People on Tumblr are already saying how happy they’ll be and gloating if Bae isn’t Neal. I just can’t see any way possible how Bae is not Neal. One person even said the blob on the globe wasn’t New York but really Storybrooke and pointing to Regina being his real child and not Bae because he isn’t his biological child, but Regina probably is. What I don’t understand about people is how Henry can really be Regina’s child, but then Bae (if he isn’t his by blood) isn’t his son? People twist everything to fit their beliefs. I just can’t wait for Neal to come back to put all these rumors to rest so people can obsess about something else.

I love this scene so much! For me, it’s like a glimpse into the future of the Snowing/Rumbelle/Swanfire/Regina/Henry family would be like if they could all get along and set aside their differences for Henry’s sake. Henry is just too cute annoying his grandfather with thousands of questions, and Emma called Gold her “father” and helped him get through security. 😀

*shakes head* Yep, yep. Totally. I’ve been avoiding the sneak peaks but just had to watch the airport scene since I’m waiting on pins and needles for Neal to come back. I liked Gold’s reaction to Emma’s calling him “father”. I also love how Henry isn’t afraid of Gold, just peppering him with questions while Gold is falling apart inside. And then Henry being oblivious of all the drama that just went on in that split second of time and like the typical kid gets excited about Cinnabon. 😆

I gotta say, I don’t get the Henry hate going around fandom. Rumple might be the one orchestrating everything and but Henry is the heart of the show. Can’t wait for Nealfire to come back and make everyone connected. What a beautiful mess it will be! 😉

I love how so many of us all have established headcannon on certain characters. Besides being convinced of Nealifire,I think that Alice is Jefferson’s wife and Grace’s mother, too. I’m hoping she’s been stuck in our world, her own home, this whole time. Jefferson never said she died and semantics are everything on this show.

As for the promo, I’m betting its James. When would Charming have had time for Jack between the Abigail betrothal and the Snow mess, and before that he was a poor shepherd.

I’ve never heard FireSwan for Neal/Emma. Most of the time it’s SwanFire (if Neal is Bae) or SwanThief.

There are so many shipping names. I must admit that Once shipping names are much cuter than those ones we had in Harry Potter. I always just used the name/name because everyone had something different they called them. Plus, I was a Ron/Hermione shipper and Ronmione and it’s variations was just horrible.

I think the title of this thread was very immature and immediately confrontational, but I do think those that don’t like Hook have said their opinions in non-threatening, logical ways. It’s funny how he gets such strong reactions, and it’s not the villian thing because people adore Rumple and Regina. Hook’s character is just one of those you love or hate. I’ve stated my opinion of him elsewhere so I’m not going to go into it again.

I do wonder how Hook can stay long term in Storybrooke with Gold living there, also. This isn’t love or hate of the character, just supposition. Really, I want to hear from both sides…what’s your opinion.

Personally, I can’t see them being in the same town long term. This isn’t an attack on the actor, just plotwise, neither will leave the other alone until they have their revenge. This isn’t Rumple and Charming having a swordfight and then calling a truce. Those two you can see respect each other in a messed up, disfunctional way. There is no way Rumple and Gold can have a similar relationship. I think I’ve posted this somewhere, but it reminds me of the prophecy in Harry Potter between Harry and Voldemort, “neither can live while the other survives.”

The series revolves around Rumplestiltskin so I can’t see anything happening to him. Robert and Lana have massive fan bases and part of the main five adults and the series revolves around his character, so Rumple’s not going anywhere. That leaves only two options for long term: banishment or death. Death is obvious, but by banishment I mean he leaves Storybrooke for various reasons and is no longer in Rumples line of sight constantly.

So how could the two possibly exist long-term in the same town, because I just don’t see it.
