Mulan’s expression is priceless.

Mulan looks so laid back like she doesn’t give a crap.

Keeper of FelixIf Rumple is thrown under the bus and killed off because “he’s a villain”, the show is dead to me. If it continues beyond that point it’s a zombie.

Keeper of FelixI think bringing Baelfire back is the only way to get Rumple back on track. We’re not going to get Nealfire but Baelfire could work. Obviously because of Dylan’s age it’s going to be an older Baelfire but could still work if it’s post-Neverland pre-Emma Baelfire.
There you’ve got chance for Rumple to get a do-over with his son and have his family which includes both Baelfire and Belle and the RumBelle baby if they are writing in Emilie’s pregnancy. He gets to show Baelfire how he’s change and finally being able to choose family over power.
Also it gives Henry some storyline, where he can get to know Baelfire and is aware that Baelfire is his dad whereas Baelfire doesn’t know who Henry is so you’ve kind of got that tragic circumstance where Henry and Baelfire are friends but Henry can’t reveal that Baelfire is his father. Baelfire eventually finds out and freaks out about it but then steps up to the plate, learning from his experience with Rumple both what to do and what not to do.
You’ve also got a parallel with Emma as Emma is the same age as Snowing and now Henry is the same age as Baelfire so he can turn to her for help. It kind of re-centres the show on Emma/Henry rather than Hook yet without coming between CS which is one of the reasons why Neal is seemingly forgotten by every other character.

Keeper of FelixGiinny also gave that interview at comic-con I think? with Josh where she didn’t seem to be following the “OUAT is the greatest thing ever” line.
Since Ginny is pregnant again, I wonder if something might happen to Snow?

Keeper of FelixCan’t remember that photo existing
It was photoshopped, I was joking about how Merlin had better wear the hat at least once and someone actually photoshopped a picture of merlin wearing the hat. Hilarity ensued.
I vaguely remember that picture but unfortunately I can’t remember the page either.

Keeper of FelixFrom the episode (bold my emphasis)
Belle: You’ve been brave before
Rumple: When? During the First Ogres War? Let me tell you the truth about that day…I didn’t cripple myself to get back to my son…I did it because I was afraid.
The writers seem to want to erase Nealfire from the picture, even going so far as to retcon Rumple’s motivations.
I think one of the issues with the Rumple character now is that, with Nealfire’s death, Rumple has lost one of his main driving forces. From season 1-3B, Rumple’s main aim was reuniting with Baelfire. With Baelfire’s death, Rumple was kind of cast adrift. Rather than actually having Rumple deal with Baelfire’s death, going off the rails as a result of grief, trying to find a way to bring Baelfire back etc, the writers seemed to just want Rumple to be bad for the sake of it.
With the Rumple/Henry relationship so underdeveloped, Belle is the only other person in Storybrooke that Rumple has strong ties to but she is not given nearly enough screentime outside of being Rumple’s love interest or the group researcher.
Here’s my question. With the death of Baelfire and Belle’s lack of screentime, is it possible that the writers aren’t necessarily making Rumple be evil for the sake of evil, but they’re just not taking the time to explore his motivations or reasoning beyond what is needed for the plot?
