I can’t say I’m all that surprised. Since Belle remembers how she was treated and tortured n FTL and in SB, she has just reasons for joining forces with Rumpel to get revenge against Regina, the evil hag.

This thread should probably go under spoilers section for S2

hjbau wrote: Yes, but all of his episodes are back story and everything he does in an episode is plot device stuff like explain about the love potion or give Snow a bow so she can try to kill the queen or give Charming the ring so he can find Snow or help Cinderella get to the ball. I mean he never does anything. He just does the in between stuff or explains something to the audience so we know what is going on.
Rumpel never does anything?! 😮 All he did was create the Curse to end all curses to find his son Baelfire, who was his reason for living before he met Belle. All he did was bring magic to SB in an effort possibly to locate Bae and defeat Regina once and for all. If it weren’t for Rumpel, there would never have been an OUAT story to tell at all, because there never would have been a curse to defeat. Regina and Snow’s present-day story in SB completely depended on Rumpel’s actions since Regina needed Rumple’s curse to get even with Snow.
He plays a role in pretty much everyone’s story. Let’s review what Rumple accomplished in S1: creating the dark curse in the first place, telling Regina how to enact it, revealing how to break the curse to SW, giving PC the ring to find SW, helping Emma defeat Regina (twice), making Cinderella’s dress and carriage ultimately to make Emma owe him a favor, likely (though not certainly) giving Granny a magic red cape for Red, acquiring Henry for Regina, making a bottle of true love to bring magic to SB and make Emma the savior in the first place, prompting Jimminy to make Geppetto’s parents into puppets and probably making Cora into more than just a miller’s daughter. Those plots don’t even mention Rumpel’s own main plots in episodes 1×8, 1×12, and 1×19. Even though Rumpel’s story is “backstory” so is every other fairytale characters’ – because everything in FTL is a flashback. His story just came first chronologically and set off every other domino. Rumpel’s not just a central character, but he’s central to the entire show.
The real “plot device” in OUAT would be the bottle of true love that Rumpel creates — not Rumpel himself. We’re introduced to this idea in 1×16 – well into the series and only see it again in 1×22. It’s main function was to act as a “safety-vaulve” to make Emma the savior and then to bring magic to SB. The wishing well is another good example.
A better example of a character who served as a plot device in OUAT’s first season is August. He appeared about half-way into the season and served the main purpose of helping Emma to believe but mostly to keep us fans guessing about his identity. In then end, he served his purpose of a “red herring” in the plot.

Mulan the character may not be from China as we know it today in our world, but we did see a door in Jefferson’s hat portal that many have speculated could be “legendary China” (for lack of a better term) and part of Mulan’s backstory.
I know Belle wasn’t French, but she was “foreign” sounding (Australian accent).

😆 Gotta love Pongo’s dating profile:
Oh David/Charming!

@ Phee: I like your theory of the beanstalk somehow being related to Baelfire’s magic bean.
@ PriceofMagic: I noticed that, too. Perhaps it’s Sleeping Beauty come to SB.

Mulan, a legendary female warrior from an ancient Chinese poem, was in a Disney feature cartoon. I’m guessing her story will be similar to that version, but with a OUAT twist.

OMG – It’s Captain James Hook! (Unless Regina had her hand cut off!)
:ugeek:Wait – does that mean Kitsis and Horowitz were just pretending *NOT* to have the rights to Peter Pan? 😮
Oh, perhaps Baelfire is the famous boy who never grew up! Or even Bealfire is Hook? ❗"That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it." Neal Cassidy

Thank you for uploading this! I just love finally getting a meaty interview to chew on after such a long hiatus!
