I find the whole drama ...Mandy, I completely agree. I find the whole drama of Rumple lying to Belle tiresome. One of my mottos in life is if you find yourself hiding things from people you love and want respect from, it's a sign that you either shouldn't be doing those things or you shouldn't be hiding them.<br /><br />Same goes for Hook hiding things from Emma. If he were upfront with her and told her what was going on right away, she might be angry at first but she would get over it. Instead you know this is going to lead to more lies and cover-ups and she's going to eventually find out and be really angry at the long-term cover-up.<br /><br />Yes Anna was foolish in flashbacks, but that's totally within character so it didn't bother me. (I remember reading a description of Frozen before seeing it that referred to her as a "hopeless optimist.") Basically I found that story tolerable but not really compelling so I really hope it's leading somewhere.

Haven't we already (repeatedly) seen Rumple fall into darkness? I feel like by bringing Rumple back to the exact same place all they've done is make us hate Rumple (one of my favorite characters) and make Belle look like a complete idiot. I felt like so much of season three explored Rumple's struggle against his darkness, and seemed to conclude that he had made strides towards changing. But now he's lying to Belle about the dagger and he murdered the apprentice guy all in the search for power....again. <br /><br />I could even handle his current actions if they made it look like it was some kind of struggle. If they gave us any indication that Rumple was struggling with his actions. But so far, nothing. They just make him mostly villainous again because it suits the plot. Ugh.<br /><br />MandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
