"Offer his services" sounds extremely sexual for some reason, and I'm 99% sure they are going there with Cora/Rumpel.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm excited to see where they're going with Snow.
Rumple is with young Cora as the dark one, but he only became dark after his son was born... am i mistaken or is something wrong there?
ReplyDeleteYes, I definitely think they're going there with Cora and Rumple. I wonder what that will mean though. I'd really like to know if Cora ever had a true love (or something like that).
ReplyDeleteACTUAL HEARTS IN MY EYES AT THIS.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Rumple is several hundred years old.
ReplyDeleteI guess her true love is power.
ReplyDeleteBae was born before Cora. Remember, Rumple is 300 years old.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing since this has so many parallels with "Heart of Darkness", everything that went right in it, in terms of saving Snow, will go wrong this time.
ReplyDeleteWhen was that ever stated?
ReplyDeleteoh you are right... Now i remember, thanks
ReplyDeleteThat is a good question. I have a feeling she may have felt something for Rumpel at one time (her marriage was almost certainly arranged from selfish motives), but then again, she may not actually be capable of genuine love. It will be interesting to see whether she had good in her as a younger woman.
ReplyDeleteWait--Gold is dying? I hope he gets saved last minute.
ReplyDeleteNever on the series, though it was implied this week when Bae said he'd be 200 years old if he had actually come to this world first.
ReplyDeletePrincess Eva, is that Snow's mother?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I wonder how far they'll take it. It's just possible, given her strong desire to kill Cora, that she might decide it was worth it to use the dagger to become the Dark One herself. But unless I remember the first season incorrectly, nobody can become the Dark One without killing the previous holder of the title first. So...would Snow actually kill Rumpelstiltskin to achieve her goals, even though he hasn't actually done much to her directly? I'm not sure her morals are messed up enough for that yet. Unless there's a way to transfer the Dark One's power without death being involved.
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteJoaquim de Almeida? No Era Uma Vez? Parece que a Daniela Ruah não é a única pessoa de Portugal em séries do horário nobre dos EUA. Mal posso esperar para ver.
ReplyDeleteCan Sunday please come faster?
Alright thanks, I wasn't sure if I had missed something at some point because I thought Bae saying he'd be 200 years old kind of came out of left field.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess the speculations about Eva and Cora having quite the bit of backstory together are true. Can't wait for this to play out!
ReplyDeleteI feel like Cora is the kind of person who's always had thirst for power. Everything she's done in her life has been thoroughly planned for her to succeed on it. I don't believe she's ever had any good intentions. I don't believe she was born evil, but because she was so poor and disliked it so much from a very early age she became greedy and bitter and cold and subsequently evil.
ReplyDeleteIt's be cool is Henry is the one accidentally break Rumple's curse~ cause he is Rumple's undoing...
ReplyDeleteHe will probably live cause there were spoiler about Gold + "no-memory" Belle
ReplyDeleteVerdade Joaquim de Almeida como Rei Xavier :)
ReplyDeleteYeah... Why isn't he instantly heeled as soon as they reach Storybrook? Makes no sense.
ReplyDeletemaybe eva is henry sr.'s sister?
ReplyDeleteI think they will need something more than just crossing the line to heal Mr. Gold. It's never that easy. Having magic available to them to use is probably just the first step.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has his dagger he can not perform magic unless commanded to do so!
ReplyDeleteHmmm does this mean Emma has to heal him? Interesting!
ReplyDeleteI think so, there used to be a spoiler about Emma having some special healing powers... I thought she'll just save Belle but maybe she'll save Rumple too?
ReplyDeleteRobert Carlyle has once said in an interview that Rumple is something like 300 years old...
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense.
ReplyDeleteAlso in the last episode Rumple said the dagger was in his posession for centuries.
ReplyDeleteGoing by the preview of episode they have shown in paleyfest, expect quite a different Cora and VERY different Eva ;)
ReplyDeleteIts more and more likely that Snow stabs Rumple with the dagger to prevent Cora getting the power > Emma heals Rumple > Snow offs Cora
ReplyDeleteI just got an idea - what if Eva is Cora's sister? I don't really remember the original fairy tale about Miller's daughter, but didn't she have a sister? What if Cora wanted to marry the king, become the queen and then make her daughter the queen, so she made a deal with Rumple to get all of that... But then the king met her sister, Eva, fell in love and married her instead of Cora? And so Eva becomes the queen and Cora is still nothing but the Miller's daughter? It would also explain why she's so obsessed with Regina becoming the queen...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, maybe nothing of that makes any sense :-D
Then why isn't she dark skinned with flecks of gold at the end of the promo?
ReplyDeleteRumple also looks normal in Storybrooke even with his powers back... And mother superior also doesn't look like the blue fairy anymore, even though she has her powers back... The magic in Storybrooke is different...
ReplyDeleteBlanked on this for some reason. :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I always thought Rumple was purposefully took a full human form, also the fairies who were shown to be able to change into human form. But the mouse didn't become a mouse again, which I totally forgot. :D
Impossible since Cora is not a royal, while Eva clearly is(hence having a tiara to pass down the generations)
ReplyDeleteMy guess they were sisters-in-law with Henry Sr. not being in direct line to be king (maybe a third child?)
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty obvious that's where they're going.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, thanks :) So probably some in-laws...
ReplyDelete:) It's possible that even the writers didn't think that through that well and they are just gonna go with that "magic in Storybrooke is different"...
ReplyDeleteIt'll be pretty weird if the king is banging his wife's brother's daughter...
