They made that flashback only to force a parallel with Gideon

I can't even imagine how they came with this idea. It had to be something like this:

-Do you remember Baelfire? The brave boy who stood up against his father and dark magic? The brave boy who sacrife himself to save the Darlings? The boy who was braver than his father and fought Captain Hook in a ship full with pirates?

-Yeah

-Let's make him a coward murderer!

-Why tho?

-Because we can!

The guys in the Afterbuzz review are as pissed off with this as I am. They make a very good point: they made this to make Rumple look better
