ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
Wow! This is even pre-Hook-with-a-hook! Pre-crocodile bite! Pre-Chronomentrophobia (that's the fear of clocks)! I'm thinking this is may begin before Peter Pan and Neverland for the Hookster, too. Or, maybe this is the story of how he lost his hand after he arrived in Neverland? Because the episode synopsis says that both Cappy Hook and Rumpelstiltskin's wife are in the episode, I wonder if Rumple was married to Tinkerbell (possibly before she became a fairy)?
According to BabyNames.com, the name “Cora” means “heart”.

Since when does he call her Mom??? That has bugged me from the start. I realize that he is a young boy, and once faced with the possibility of the entire town killing the woman who raised him he realized, “hey, I actually do care about this person”. But I think they should have had him express that a little more instead of jumping right in. It seemed to me a little rushed. If I was Emma and he had said that I would have been like “What?! Are you KIDDING me?!” He should have said something like “Kill her? Wait a minute, she’s evil, but she did raise me…I don’t want her dead Emma.” Am I the only one?
As Regina said at the beginning of the series, she changed his diapers and soothed his fevers. Just because she was a strict mom and an evil queen doesn’t mean that she must be killed. My grandmother is wacko too, but I wouldn’t want to wish an untimely death on her. Both Grandma and Regina have their good sides.
