I think all of these points are good examples of how the writers (A&E) have done a horrible job with Rumple's character this season. Unless there's some mind-blowing reveal at the end of the season that explains why he's been so evil, the writing for him is extremely inconsistent from past seasons. He spent hundreds of years trying to find his son and now he doesn't give a shiz about Henry or Belle or seemingly ANYTHING. I mean I get that he's the Dark One but they didn't write him this evil from the get-go. I don't get it.
