Yes, I agree that the limp is a symbolic thing. Another symbol of a past mistake. I would suggest that if Rumple is truly being given a second chance, maybe that should include the mistakes he made before he became the Dark One. Let's face it, he had 300 years of Dark Memories to remind him of the consequences of a bad mistake, and I am definitly not going to suggest he use a forgetting potion.

Who knows, maybe with a whole leg, he might actually be able to learn to wield a sword as well as his counterpart in the AU. I could stand a less cowardly Rumple as long as he truly goes towards the redemption route.
