I also like how we come to each episode from different prospective and even when we disagree we can be so polite to each other. I have not seen any flaming or unreasonable behavior.
This group and forum is AWESOME….
Nonnie,
.very true.

It’s dead.. along with shows that take place in space.
shhh… don’t say stuff like that, I was hoping for a new space opera in the near-ish future.
I don’t know that Belle is aware of the whole Milah debacle but she surely is not naive enough to think Rumple has never killed anyone.

Aww, I love the idea of Belle and Archie becoming friends. Those two are some of the sweetest characters on the show.
well, Belle does needs load of therapy… 😆
… on another notes, Archie turning on the people of Storybrook would make for really good television… it would make me sad, but he does have a lot of dirt on a lot of people.

There is a fantastic play called ‘No Exit.” Your room idea reminds me of it. It “No Exit”, however, the damned are forced to reside in different rooms with people who ulitmatly are thier hell and suffering.
I like your idea a lot, but allow me to expand a bit on the concept of “No exit” and maybe take off in a different direction then you. I’m not aware of your background or in which language you read the play, but in the original version, the quote is ‘L’enfer, c’est les autres” which literally translate into “Hell, is everybody else.”
Sartre later went on to explain that what he meant was that life is perceived and experienced Through everyone else but yourself. we get to know who we are through our experiences with everybody else. By following that logic, in a room full of mirror where the only thing you have access to is yourself, you would lose your sense of self in a certain way which could be a pseudo-philophical explanation of why, when you are under a sleeping curse, you’re not dead but you are not quite alive either.
Anyway, it would be a huge cop out if the writers of OUAT uses “No Exit” as some form of kinda-maybe-ish, source of material to explain the sleeping curse. Don’t get me wrong, it is a good book and an even better play. I just feel like using a book that is a mandatory reading for every 11-12 years old in the french speaking world as an introduction for to a philosophy class, is to greatly underestimate the average viewer of OUAT.
*for the people not familiar with “Huis Clos” or “No Exit”, in the french world, it is a book of about the same cultural importance as “Catcher in the Rye” – not at all the same topic but both books have similar amplitude.
😯 The promo pics fo Rumplestiltskin drive me crazy ever since they came out… not in a good way. I know how to knit, my mother taught me as a child and we both made a truck load of clothes ever since. The way Robert Carlyle holds the needles and the yarn in OH so wrong. There is a little part of me that just want to put his fingers in the right place and put the yarn in the right way… 😆
