Yeah, Cora seemed to come to the “Let’s kill the Beast!” (I couldn’t resist) scenario a little too fast, like it wasn’t what she wanted all along. I do think Cora is going to make a very vital mistake at some point, like claiming she doesn’t care about Henry or even threatening him which will hopefully open Regina’s eyes. I’m an EvilRegal but I do hope Regina gets a clue soon.

Maybe Storybrooke becomes unstable. Sort of like in LOST. Whenever the Island was threatened, it relocated. Perhaps that’s what is happening with Storybrooke. Next season Neverland, the season after that Wonderland, the season after that Oz, and so on and so forth.
I think this is a really clever idea, but the it does pose the question: what are the beans for. In Tiny they show the dwarves and Anton planting them and I think it was deliberate. I still think we’ll see the magic beans and portal again this season. And if they just move SB, it renders the beans moot, and sort of makes the episode Tiny seems really insignificant.

Seems like I’m the only one who wasn’t particularly bothered with the scene.
To me, these are just words – he has never ever tried to redeem himself, none of his actions were ever selfless and he’s only saying all that now BECAUSE he’s dying and for no other reason. I bet when he gets better he will go back to his old selfish ways, getting rid of anything and anybody on his way. Only then, Neal and Emma will actually feel for him because of what they heard, forgetting how manipulative he is.
Poetic words, true, but I’m waiting for him to actually prove them in action too.As for the last sneak peek, I’m actually fed up with how clueless Regina’s become. It’s irritating to see the writers stupefying her like that, it doesn’t fit with the character we’ve known for that long. Even if the writers come up with some excuse for that, I will still consider it bad writing.
I wrote this a few pages up but, this scene isn’t about his redeeming himself, I don’t think. I think Rumple thinks there is no redemption for himself. He’s an “ugly” man and instead of telling Belle about his undying love for her, he is very selfless and decides to tell her about who she is. And the only time he mentions himself it’s to say that he’s not “good” like she is. His final act with Belle isn’t to clear his conscious, because I dont think Rumple feels that’s possible after everything he’s done, but to give Belle something beautiful, hopefully something that gives her something to cling to as she struggles to find her identity. Rumple, in my view, will never stop being surprised that Belle fell in love with him and that she continued to love him; for him, it doesn’t compute with his past experiences of Milah (and I’m going to guess Cora). The fact that after such a long life of darkness and trickery and manipulation (on many sides), he found his true love…I think that will shock him until the very end. He keeps expecting her to leave. And so, to thank her for that (and he does say thank you), for giving him hope that maybe he could be better, that he could return to a better version of himself, he gives her this really beautiful gift: “this is who you are.” AND as far as action goes: in 2×19 “Lacey” I think his actions will win back Belle, cause her to remember who she is. And I suspect that it won't be through magic.

And like I wasn’t already a total fangirly mess, Ms Espenson replied to my tweet where I thanked her for writing the scene. Then she replied again asking if I had the link to it. 😆
Awwww. She’s so gifted. I’m so thankful she’s a part of this show. If the entire episode is like these sneak peaks then I’m going to go ahead and declare “The Miller’s Daughter” the best of season two, in my opinion (followed very closely by “Manhattan”).
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"LOL, Slurpeez. I’d love to see Snow say that.
Also, so now we know that if the Dark One dies without being stabbed, the magic just vanishes. It’s not like it finds a new host or something. Interesting.
Ok, back to watching clip #4 over and over while crying. *It’s Thursday! 72+ hours to go*

No…words… no words. Ahhh. *just moved from unofficial Rumbeller to Official Rumbeller*
Welcome. *hands cookie* Trust me the chocolate will help with the feels.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I love that it wasn’t him pouring out his heart about his undying love for her but instead, “let me tell you who you are.” He hardly mentions himself, and when he does it’s acknowledging that he’s made lots of mistakes and isn’t “good” like she is. I don’t think Rumple will stop being surprised that Belle fell in love with him or that after such a long life, he has a true love.
I can’t stop commenting about this sneak peak."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Sneak peak 5: “I don’t like what that enchanted box was saying. I’m not wicked.”
1) Jane Espenson is amazing. That’s such an incredible first line.
2) Oh Cora. Wake up and smell the evil. You’re…well. Evil"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So much happens in this one tiny clip. I love that Neal is there listening, seeing that maybe his Papa is capable of change, that he has a good heart and is still a good man.
Belle’s face throughout, props to Emilie. You can tell she’s moved by what he says. I hope this triggers something!!
And Robert Carlyle. What do you say? It was so honest and open and beautiful and breathtaking. I know there are many who don’t ship Rumbelle and that’s fine but you can’t deny that RC has done a superb job of creating Rumple’s love for Belle. The fact that Rumple knows it’s Belle who’s the hero and that he is an ugly (inside and out, in FTL) man….Again with the crying.
