Season 2, The Crocodile episode, it was all about how he needed to gain power through being the dark one to compensate for his cowardice. Obvy, Rumple is the cowardly Lion, Imp, Beast, and Crocodile...if we're playing the match up game with the Oz folk.

Also, (this may be a major topic of discussion), but in season 2 in The Doctor, Regina clearly states to Jiminy about the 1st curse: "I BROUGHT WHO I WANTED [to Storybrooke]".

That whoooole line makes me question SOOOO MANY things. Such as, why did she bring xyz person, what purpose did they serve. For example, in what possible way would she need Grumpy in any way to "want" him transfered to Storybrooke? Or Mr. Glass who is apparently no where to be found anymore ( I know about the actor's scheduling conflict, but no mention of him at all anymore, not even in OUATiW??? He's a genie for goodness sake!). Why did she "want" the blue fairy, or the other nuns/fairies, or Red/Granny, or Jiminy for the matter.


 * Feeling frustrated:: This show is losing credibility for me when you remember those earlier details, then they try to cover it up or forget about it altogether. I think that line "I brough who I wanted" is such a strong, focal point. Why toss it away? Why not enable, disypher it and build up on it? Seems like a thrown away potential. ::Feeling sad, disappointed::

Sorry for my rant. First of all, I think Rumple demonstrated he was not a coward anymore when he sacrificed himself to kill Pan. And also, I think that Regina brought them because she wanted them to suffer, she didn't know that Emma would break her curse, the curse was just a tool to get what she thought was her happy ending, to make everyone pay for what had been done to her.
