[adrotate group="5"]Pretty sure A&E don’t even think we remember the hat.
IT DIDN’T EVEN MATCH HIS OUTFIT!!!!
Well, I doubt the hat was actually intended to be worn on his head, based on its uses.
On the #OnceUponATime set today, @LanaParrilla , @bexmader , and Barbara Hershey filmed #OUAT

Looks like they might still be in the Underworld, but wow this could mean that Cora and Zelena are finally reuniting!
That’s…interesting. I know there are Canadian fans and everything but that reduces the amount of fans who will/can go.
That’s if the fans are even allowed to attend. This could be an exclusive event just for the show and members of the press. Fan participation was never confirmed, though I think it would be wise to have them partake in the celebration in some fashion. If the red carpet portion is outdoors, I’m guessing fans will at least be allowed to observe as bystanders. Partaking in anything else, such as the possible screening, is another matter entirely. They might not want fans watching said possible screening, knowing that it would result in spoilers all over social media like with the Season 4 premiere. Especially if the 100th episode has some surprising plot twists, such as the speculated return of Neal. I guess the idea of having the event in Storybrooke itself is also special to them.
Looks like it’ll be in Steveston, not in LA at the El Capitan.
@TheMatthewPaul in Vancouver. In the town where we shoot Storybrooke.

To have it happen after he was made out to be a hero with a pure heart in particular further adds insult to injury. Not only that, but he’s right back to deceiving Belle, and after she decided to give him yet another chance.
Yes this. Him taking back the DO’s powers felt like it came completely out of left field after the season was set up as 1) no longer the DO and 2) spent the season learning to be a hero (albeit in a highly questionable manner).
When the writers realized they wanted Hook to go evil only to be killed and brought back later in 5B, they also realized that they needed one of the main cast to still be villainous so Rumple has a bottle of magic laying around and wam bam, DO Rumple again.
This brings us to another question, and one we’ve been somewhat avoiding. Is Rumple’s inconsistent character writing a result of trying to make Hook look better? Or is it because the writers don’t know what to do with Rumple? Or is it because they find Dark Rumple more interesting? OR is it not inconsistent writing at all?
I think it’s mostly the writers not knowing what to do with Rumple, while finding Dark Rumple more interesting. Maybe it’s not so much wanting Hook to look better, but rather them wanting at least one of the mains to struggle with their nasty habits at a given time. Whether it be Rumple, Hook or Regina. At least one of them has to slip every now and then, character development be damned! Of course, they’ve had Rumple slip back way more on a consistent basis.
I’m actually glad that he took back the DO power–though I want to see a solid motivation for it–because taking the darkness out of him via Apprentice magic was too “easy” for his character. It needs to be something that he chooses for it to resonate.
Out of all the possible reasons as to why they had Rumple take his power back, that’s the one I could see eye to eye with the most. Like you said, Rumple didn’t lose his power due to his own accord. It was taken from him while he was unconscious.
However, that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. It just comes across as Rumple not learning anything, and still choosing to make the wrong choices. There’s only so many times they can have Rumple go back and forth, while testing the audience’s patience. To have it happen after he was made out to be a hero with a pure heart in particular further adds insult to injury. Not only that, but he’s right back to deceiving Belle, and after she decided to give him yet another chance.
