LOVED THE POST
Love the fact that a person can think about a story and delve into the details. I am so tired of a lot of the claptrap junk they put on TV …. the so called reality shows that are staged and promotes what is the lowest common denominator in our society. So over them; rarely like watching TV except for HOW TO SHOWs / PBS any more….
I agree with you that RUMPLE might be a TRAGIC HERO… I have not seen the first stories so it is hard for me to judge how evil he has been. I see/ agree with some the points you have made….
I do disagree with the statement that RUMPLE was cowardly when fighting in the OGRE WARS… I do not feel we know enough about the wars to say the was cowardly. ( Not all wars are just.)
My questions about the war are: Who started it was it the greedy landowners who were fighting the OGRES for glory / land/ stolen riches….Or are they defending the home land? from invading FTL?
RUMPLE was a simple SERF ( much akin to slavery) under the servitude of a GREEDY LAND OWNER who took advantage of Rumple/ his family. RUMPLE/ his son/ the other serfs would be killed and the landowner gets any profits from the war. So why should he fight? for the Duke.
The DUKE labeled RUMPLE as cowardly but was he really? I would not believe anything the Duke said. FROM what I have read of the dark ages and serfdom (based on costumes and the society as exhibited on the show) I would not side with the Duke and consider RUMPLE a coward.
I do agree with the majority of the rest of your post.

I love this clip as it TELLS alot about the whole storyWHAT is the logic behind the 60 year time gap from the OGRE WARS to Snows time …. I have never figured it out.

.I THINK it is Pinocchio ….he was about 7 years old and Gippito made the cabinet. Supposedly it could only transport one person… I was thinking it was a weight issue …. only so much weight / volume could be transferred. TWO kids still were smaller than one adult. Gippito sent Pinocchio through to save him. SNOW would have been smaller in weight and volume then a man so she would have been saved. But since EMMA was born they sent her through not realizing mom and baby could have gone through together but thinking one being instead of weight and volume.
That would explain why a 7 year old boy was at the side of the road and found a baby. Pinocchio and Emma both landed in the same spot, they both went into the foster system. Pinocchio grows up and seeks out Emma.
Pinocchio is the STRANGER ….
of course this is all based on logic and this show is not logical…..

THIS IS MY THEORY:
I am not sure but I thought that RUMPLE was the beast after he became the dark one, but before Snow and James marry and have Emma.
In his first story he is a serf who is subjucated to the Duke, he had no power. After he kills the dark one he takes the duke’s money and power; RUMPLE goes off to live in a castle on his own and that is where Belle finds him. Their story plays out but RUMPLE looses Belle. … then he goes on bitter about love and he goes on to other bargains… Cinderella and Snow’s stories.

I started watching ONCE UPON A TIME during the holiday marthon and got hooked. I have not seen all of the episode but enjoy the ones I have seen. THAT SAID I tend to have an opionion about everything and anything. I enyoy give and take discussions and debates. I plan to get the DVDs for this show when they come out.
My hobbies are quilting and if you follow me on Twitter expect a lot of quilting talk. I also talk about OUaT there. I watched all of the Disney movies as I have a four year old grandson. I have also read most of the stories in original forms from Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson and Arabian Nights plus various other fairy tales by other cultures.
Other shows I like are: Bones, most of the CSIs, and various other law shows. I do not like realty shows.
I also have a podcast such as it is about quilting ….
