Today at lunch I was trying to explain that very scene to a couple of people who aren’t up on S3 yet, but think Rumple is fabulous. So I was telling them about Pan, and used this scene as an example of how wonderful Robbie Kay is that he can act along side Robert Carlyle when he’s all decked out in the Rumple gear, and make him look like a scared little boy. There was much flailing of my arms, and pretty sure my voice rose several decibels, because I was trying to convey how intense this whole thing is.
Just when we thought we’d seen all the sides of Rumple, now we’re getting yet another layer to him, and it’s wonderful and it hurts and I can’t wait to delve into his past more to find out where he truly comes from.
[adrotate group="5"]The Killian backsory is gonna tear my heart up. *sigh* Sounds like learning his past is gonna add some interesting layers to the character in present day.
And I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I NEED some CaptainFire interaction! “At the end of the day, Hook really truly loved Baelfire’s mother Milah and he still sees the mother in the boy.” Coming face to face with Milah’s blood again is gonna be a big moment for Hook. I don’t expect that to happen in this ep, but hopefully it won’t be too much longer.
Another thought:
The body of the shadow. If they destroy the body of the shadow, then the shadow itself is destroyed and looses its dark hold over PP.
I like this, and also like the idea that the Shadow could be their father’s shadow.
Hearing about a cemetery made me think of the start of the Chernabog sequence, where all the skeletal spirits are rising up. Wasn’t part of that set in a cemetery?
which by the way he believes the show’s villain over is own father
Given his history, both ancient and recent, with his father, I honest to God can’t blame him for having doubts. They showed us in flashbacks that when Rumple had the chance to do the right thing and just ask Bae a question and trust he’d get an honest answer he wanted to hear, instead he whipped them away in a puff of smoke. Do you honestly expect, having had those sorts of experiences before, that Neal was supposed to just take Rumple’s word for anything? The last time Neal saw his father, he was trying to stomp on Whale’s face, just like Neal saw him squash people when he was a child. Do you honestly expect Neal to have blind faith in his father, when all he’s seen of late suggests that he hasn’t changed and is as volatile and dangerous as ever?
He couldn’t keep his father frozen 24/7, they’d never be able to move. What’s he gonna do, freeze his father any time he needs to sleep, or go pee behind a bush, because it’s simply not safe to let down his guard for even a moment because there’s a very real threat on his son’s life. Would that have been healthier for their relationship, with Neal freezing his father at every opportunity, just to be on the safe side? No, that wouldn’t serve to advance their relationship in any positive way, it only would have bred more resentment. Besides, Rumple could have whisked himself and Henry away without a moment’s warning, and there’s nothing Neal would have been able to do to prevent that. There’s no time to magically freeze someone with ink when they could vanish before you even saw it coming.
It would have been completely irresponsible for Neal to have stayed with Rumple. He couldn’t trust him, and with good reason, AND HIS SON’S LIFE WAS AT STAKE. If you were tasked with protecting your child, would you seriously wander around a jungle with someone who has proven time and again to you directly that they can’t be trusted to not harm and kill, especially when you’ve just discovered there’s a prophecy that your child will be that person’s undoing and the person had actually previously had it in their head that they were gonna have to kill your child?
It IS a good question. How does someone of her peasant standing even know anything about WL to want to go there? Hmmmm.
(Tried posting the direct URLs as well because the forum auto-shrinks the images a bit, but posting the direct link just re-posted the pic, even without image tags. GAH! If you right click the images you can copy and paste the direct link for each one into a browser tab if you wanna see them a little bit bigger.)
