I mean why isn't he that confident, power hunry person. I mean when Gold was powerless, he didn't go wimpy.

Oh I could not agree more. And I am interested in Spinner Rumple too. But I think that Rumple is just really an interesting and well performed character.

I keep thinking about Cast Away- the Tom Hanks movie. Here you had all this time alone with Tom Hanks, and when you see his love interest- it is a tiny part, but it is filled by an equally strong performer- Helen Hunt. She can hold her own, and the writing for her makes sense. So the scenes with her don't disappear into the "go get popcorn" portion of the movie. Instead, they work.

I really hope they flesh Belle out a LOT.



They treat Rumple the way Marvel treats Wolverine. He's awesome and the favorite and so he gets all of the layers, and the others are at risk of becoming stage props.
