I’ve said repeatedly that I think Rumple will die and I do believe it. If I were writing it, I’d have him shed his curse and then live life as a mortal once again with all the limitations that come with it. It would be hard, complex and fascinating. But character study is a thing of the past. Season one writing is no longer here. So here’s is how I think it’s going down:
I think at the last we’ll get our Beauty and the Beast ending. However with a twist. I think he’ll do one last heroic thing, and he appears to be dying. Belle comes forward, weeps over him because she never really stopped loving him and kisses him and MAGIC! The curse is finally lifted. True Love’s Kiss finally does what it hinted at in “Skin Deep”. And all the Beauty and the Beast/Rumbellers rejoice that they’ve finally completed their story. Then we get a moment of them being sweet and he dies as a mortal in her arms. His soul finally at peace. Then it can go into the spoilers of what Matt said from set reports.
So we simultaneously get his death and our wished for Beauty and the Beast ending.

JosephineParticipantOh, you guys are all so smart and interesting in your analyses.
It would be interesting to compare the writers for each seasons. Wasn’t there a bit of a change between 2 and 3? Some left, new ones came. The first two seasons almost seem like a different series. Yes, we had twists and playing on fairy tale characters (e.g. Rumple the beast, croc, fairy godmother, etc) but essentially each character had a foothold in their original stories. We recognized and could identify Mary Margaret as Snow or David as Charming or even Ruby as Red. They had variances, but they embodied their stories. Now none of the characters are similar to their original tales. They have no connection. Snow White and Prince Charming infect a baby with evil and throw it down a portal? Belle is naive and lets people control her?
On top of the shipping problems and subpar writing, the fact that they’ve strayed so far from their beginnings adds on to the discontent viewers have with the show. There is a show growing and evolving and then there are train wrecks. I think you know the track we’ve gone on.
Now it’s just sad to watch Season one and think of what might have been.

JosephineParticipantI just can’t trust in our Beauty and the Beast ending anymore. Gone are the days of, “Oh, they’re Beauty and the Beast. Disney won’t let them break them up.” I just don’t trust the writers to do justice to it. “Skin Deep” was essentially a masterpiece. The reality is that after that episode Rumbelle characterization has been subpar in comparison. We get scraps and breadcrumbs. They tease and bait fans to keep them interested. But it’s at the point that Fanon is so much better at it than the show will give us.
I do expect we’ll have another Rumbelle encounter, but do I see them having a happily ever after with kids and a dog in the pink Victorian…I don’t.

JosephineParticipantAs I’m a big believer that Rumple is dying* in the finale I would say it’s a final goodbye. He was essentially wishing them Godspeed on their future.
It does hearken back to when he first gave Belle up in “Skin Deep.” He freed her to go to the village after her speech about love and bravery. This was probably his second selfless act. Yes, he let her go other times but he, as well as the audience, always knew it wasn’t forever. This had a forever feel to it.
I am in a position where I’m a ScarletQueen and a Rumbelle shipper. I came to love Will and his struggles on Wonderland. He gave the most wonderful speech about love to Ana and it hurts that we have no idea what happened to her. But I can see if Ana and Rumple were both dead how ScarletBeauty could be a good thing. They’re both sweet people who have had true loves plagued by darkness. But like most other things, they’ve mess up this ship business royally and I just don’t know what to feel.
*I think Rumple is dying but Bobby may stay on for the show for flashbacks, which would cut back his screentime.

JosephineParticipantOmg, I said two weeks ago that Zelena was going to be pregnant. I did it jokingly but it’s quite hilarious that it’s true or perceived to be true.

JosephineParticipantYou know it’s a crazy night when Jo is the one talking in all caps and yelling about feelings.
May Sweeps are making us all do things we normally wouldn’t do. Let me just say Grimm is AWESOME. Really, it’s extremely dark and gripping and fantastic. And on at 8pm so none of this “family hour” crap. And it really had the best conversation between three people about the announcement of a baby’s arrival.

I think this is going down just like I thought it would. More interesting stuff about Truble, Renard, the Royals and a death, too.

JosephineParticipantGet better, Keb
Happy Wednesday!
@Jo: I am weak. I read the reports. You’re gonna need to talk me off a ledge. Probably everyday. Forever.
Should I be informed of the spoilers so I know what I’m talking you down from?
I can’t chastise you too much since I’m never anti-spoiler, so I am here for you.
