I love every twist in Rumples character. I really enjoyed the fact we not only see Rumple but we see Rumple as the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, the crocodile from Peter Pan and others. You never quiet know what role he will play and everytime they pull a Rumple link I am always like "Wow, Never saw that coming."

I also love how characters are flipped around and we see villains play heroes and villains playing heroes. For example Captain Hook being a good guy and Peter Pan being evil. (And the link between Peter Pan and Rumple..... Wow!) We see the Evil Queen being not so evil and we see she has a complicated history that makes you sympathetic to her pleas.

Red being the wolf was again genius and unexpected. Kathryn being alive I agree was also great.

Actually most characters have something about them that is new and something unique and not just Disney ripoffs. Snow and Charming dont have the history we think they have, Belle is actually engaged to Gaston and has a different origin, Zelena and Regina being related was very intriguing. Not something I would expact from either origin I know from their movie representations. Rapunzel not having her prince rescue her from her tower was different and no witch keeping her prisoner. Let us not forget that the whole premis of the show is completely unique. Snow Whites daughter being the savior (I didn't know she even had a daughter in the first place!) and being lead back by her son Henry? (I did not know Snow White was a Grandmother) and have Henry be adopted by Regina? This is a family tree that is full of twists and turns and branches leading to Rumple as the kids grandfather? And now we have to try and work out how Robin Hood is related to everyone.

And I know it is not canon but I am hoping there will be a twist connection between Cinderella and The Red Queen. I am begging to the Once gods to make that happen.
