Maybe the fate is Grimm! Looking forward to having those brothers join OuaT for an episode. Gold will be fine… He is the golden boy after all. Way to big of a role to kill off.
[adrotate group="5"]I heard somewhere Robert Carlyle signed for 5 seasons… So they can't kill my Rumple dear without breach of contract YAY! 😆

And also, just keep in mind that there are probably many young teen girls who are watching this show who like Hook because they think he is, as you say ‘sexy’, but they’re teens. When I was a young teenager I was exactly the same, and pretty much every other girl I knew was the same. So when you have young teen girls watching a show with good looking men on it..well…what do you expect 😆
Anyway, I’m not being mean, I’m just asking you to keep that in mind 😀I suggest sending them all packing to Ireland to hook their own Irishman 😆

The nomination list is good, but that’s just people patting eachother on the back. How can a show stay on tv though, if the ratings stay bad? I’m not saying OUAT’s ratings are “bad”, but where would an anchor hold it down if they were? That’s one thing that really made me mad about “Last Resort”, “Jericho”, and the first season of “Touch” (it’s back on tv again – yay!!!–). These were great shows that got great reviews, but got the boot because nobody watched them. Why would Once Upon A Time be any different? “Body of Proof” is another one, but it’s also supposed to be coming back. I hope so, because there are some really great shows out there that don’t get the credit they deserve.
All the more reason for us as fans to get them nominated for whatever we can… And the show really picked up in the Netherlands… the commercials during the breaks have DOUBLED…. Now if that’s a good thing… Well it gives me time to catch up with you lot during the show 😆
I think with a nomination list like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Once_Upon_a_Time they are fine…. But maybe we can look out for a few people contests, and nominate them as often as we can…. The more prizes they get, the more likely they are to stay for a LONG time.
Which reminds me… must complain to Dutch channel, ask them what they are up to by planning another series at the time the last episode of season 1 should air.

and it fits with how Rumple learned to become a spinner since that’s usually associated with women.
Actually that is not true, but a myth that really took hold around Victorian times, when having a wife that stayed at home was the posh thing to have. With farmer’s wives and widows still needing to make money, the cottage industries started appearing, where the women took over the weaving, knitting, spinning, and so on, making the textile industry, women’s work.
Before that it was a job shared equally. Especially sailors knew what to do with a bit of yarn. They needed to make fishing nets, but also knitted those gorgeous cabled sweaters that we should put a few OuaT men in…. Oh if I could only be wardrobe mistress on the set of OuaT for a day *drool*So getting further with my theory, that would make the Trojan wars the ogre wars, and we all know who lost there…. Certain Trojan horse was brought in and everything went a bit wrong. A lost little child could have been taken in by the pittying spinsters.
Seeing the fairies have a way of acting like a bunch of spoilt Greek Godesses… Have they started it by quibbling over an apple, who was supposed to be “for the fairest of them all”?
WOW… gone full circle there… how did that happen? 😆 Maybe I AM on to something here…. Ok where is that book Greek mythology 1.01 when I need it…
The spinsters originate from greek mythology as the three fates… And I already put that in the 3rd thread Vampirefan started, where he/she asks all the questions… so maybe that is the thread to keep
https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2826Maybe he was a rumpled lil baby with long slendery legs (stilts) when he was found by the spinsters. And -skin or more -sken can be a term of endearment (sorta), like wife-> wifey germanic dialects actually use the -ske.
Oh maybe the name in his pasport is his real name too!… Still that does not explain why the knife says Rumpelstiltskin. Although… maybe that is why the knife does not work here, Rumpel is not his name! So the thing would be utterly useless *Sticks tongue out at Hook*@RumplesGirl wrote:
WHOA! Now let’s talk about THAT!!! Fathered by a coward. So Rumple became papa. Like Regina became Cora. Spinsters woman who never married, so he wasn’t raised by his mother, I’m thinking. Maybe aunts?
So in greek mythology there are three spinsters, the three fates. One spins your thread, that is birth, the second one decides the length that is your life, and the third cuts it, that is your death. Together they control your future and what it holds. These have to be the spinsters… They are mentioned as the Spinners in Homer’s Odessey and Midas is from greek mythology too. Vampirefan12 actually raised the question in general discussion.
