I take back EVERYTHING I said about Colin being hotter. He is hot…but omg, put a FTL outfit on MRJ…wow. I suspect 90% of the perceived hotness of Hook (who, again, is pretty hot) compared to Neal is down to the costuming department. Cuz, wow. Also, I wonder if the people who struggle to see Bae in Neal will have less trouble once they’re dressed the same for a bit…

Singing Rumple is perfect.

And I’m so scared for the little lost boys now. What if Emma can’t keep her promise? *whimper*

To be fair, part of why Snowing gets on some people’s nerves is when they’re together too much…they need obstacles to overcome to be interesting/not annoying. Rumbelle without obstacles wouldn’t hold our interest as much (or, judging by the fanfic world, would just be awesome smut…). I see WHY they keep separating them, narratively…what I don’t get is why they hardly ever use Belle. Every time they do, she downright sparkles with whatever they give her, whether it’s three lines to a lovesick dwarf or a hug at a funeral for people we didn’t even know she knew (but thankfully they haven’t forgotten she does!).

And that doesn’t mean I don’t think they could face obstacles together or that I don’t want them to be together–I ship them as hard as anyone. At least with Rumbelle, I think the only way they could end it with the two of them not together is for one of them to perish…and I just can’t see them doing that. The bigger risk I see is losing Emilie the way they lost Meghan, through not taking advantage of the talent they have on deck.

I’m a total Disney fan (and now employee, *cough*) and so I ran into ads for Once before the pilot and was like, yeah, I have to see what they do with it.

And I was pretty hooked from the start; it became my normal thing to watch it or catch up on Monday if I had to miss an episode. And then there was Skin Deep…and there was no going back, because my favorite character was on, she was awesome, and…hardly ever on 🙁 But I still had to watch!

And then came 211…and I couldn’t stop running it through my head, and trying to work out timelines, and so forth. And thus I came here because I NEEDED to talk about it because it was invading all my dreams, it was the first thought I had when I woke up and the last when I fell asleep. That two week hiatus was the longest hiatus of the show for me…

And so here I am, a bit behind on the timeline but 100% certified Oncer, Rumbeller, Belle, Dearie, and SF. I love this crazy dysfunctional family, and I want happy endings for everyone…even Regina (whom I adore as a character, and I love the actress, but who doesn’t fascinate me the same way that Rumple does).

Good point, KFC! That gives us three generations on the Mills side. And Cora’s dad wasn’t exactly stellar either. Rule of thumb on this show seems to be if you have good parents, you lose them 🙁

Oh, I do like that. 7 it is.

I’m very behind on the timeline, and aware of this, but I’d like to put a question to you guys:

How old do you think Rumple is when Malcolm becomes Peter Pan? I want to go with somewhere between 7 and 10 and haven’t picked an age quite yet.

thanks for posting this–my sister’s looking into genre and power structures in authorship for her studies, and this is a perfect rec for her.

I wonder whether Regina will confront the fact that she was an awful mother to Snow. And the three kids she tried to “adopt.” Obviously since she was still being a jerk when the curse broke, it hadn’t gotten through to her yet then…and that smirk that Greg was dead…*chills*

But if she’s ever going to be the mother that Henry deserves, that he can freely love, then she has to deal with her other kid. I know people have different opinions about Snow being hers, but she DID agree to marry the king at some point and that DID make her Snow’s stepmother. Killing the king and spending then next few decades trying to kill/torture Snow and her family doesn’t change the fact that for most of Snow’s adolescence–just the age Henry’s entering, incidentally–she was Snow’s stepmother. And Snow clearly still sees her as that, because when she was trying to work out the family tree she said that Regina was also Henry’s step-great-grandmother.

I agree absolutely, Phee. Ah well.
