They have two ways of bringing him back to full evil mode: they can kill Belle (or she can discover his lies and left him), or they can do sometihing more personal and have him being consumed by his lies to Belle and by his son's death until he loses his mind again. We all now Robert Carlyle would act the hell out of this. And he doesn't need to be redeemed, not every villan needs to be reformed. They can save this for the last season and that way the show can go with a bang.

This would be as bad as when he didn't tell her about the cursed lips. Another ridiculous source of contrived angst.

I loved Rumple, both in Enchated Forest and Storybrooke, in season 1, and I hope that, at some point, they bring that Rumple back. Maybe in season 5 (which I think would be the last one) they can have Rumple going fully bad again.

I agree with you two. I speak French and everytime I've been to France, I've tried to do what locals do. We are very nice and friendly :-)

KingOfHearts, I wish you wrote for the show.

I could have write this post myself, LOL.

I think that the lack of payoff between season 1 and 2 has a lot to do with the love the writters have for Regina and Rumple. Both are responsible for almost everything that has happened to the rest of the characters, so if they deal with the consequences of their acts, they can redeem them because their acts are impossible to redeem.

Really? A lot of people say that about the French, but I've been there a lot and I feel like home, and everyone is quite friendly. Maybe it's because I usually visit the south.

So, people is attacking her on tumblr and twitter because of what she says about Neal here.

Living in Paris... that would be my dream. But, hey, I live in Spain, close to the Mediterranean Sea, so I really can't complaint .

I know this is going to be very unpopular but, while I miss Jamie Dornan beautiful face on my screen each week, I don't miss Graham at all.

There are enough holes in Hook's backstory to give him a great story, but I don't think the writers care enough for him or for anybody that it's not Regina, Rumple and their new toy of the season (right now, Elsa), so I don't have any hope.

Frozen is too new and too big and important for Disney right now, so I don't think the show writers will be able to change anything major.

I was thinking something like this. If we are right and someone has taken Anna, he/she can be the "big bad" in 4b.

So, if Elsa is late 20s/early 30s that rules out Elisabeth Mitchell (Hooray!!!). Anyway, if they are setting 4a some years after the movie, maybe Elsa was trapped in that urn because something happened to Anna and her powers went wild. So, at first our heros will think she is bad, but they will find the truth and help her find her sister (because Disney will never let them kill Anna) and go back home.

Well, they thought the audience was going to root for Neal/Emma knowing he sent her to jail for his crimes, so I don't think they see the problem there.

Yeah, "When Doves Cry" is amazing, really well written.

This is the kind of AU I read. I don't like the non-Storybrooke non-Enchanted Forest AUs (like Professor Killian and Student Emma, or things like that).

I think the rudeness and all the "I'm going back to New York" was really in character, but it dragged for too long.

I don't mind smut in those stories that are very AU, but I don't like it very much in those that are more canon.

There are TV shows with bigger budgets per episode, so I don't think it would take them more than 10-15 days to shoot the whole movie (Clint Eastwood only needed 40 days to shoot Million Dollar Baby). So yeah, we don't need to worry about Hook.

I'm new to fan fiction (I hate what this show has done to me) but I have read some of your stories and I like them (and I love they are short and complete). I'm saving the Jane Austen ones for the summer :-)

I'm so sorry Cindy! I don't know what to say, so I just send you and your family a big hug.

I have open regularlyleaded's archives to read the Regina rant again (it's so good), but, ugh, I feel so sad right now ;-(

When I got up this morning and I turned on the computer, I went to TWOP like always and I found that horrible "This community is offline and no longer accessible." I've been so sad all the morning (and that's bad, I have an exam tomorrow) But, at least I "see" a lot of familiar "faces" around here.
