Rumble and Belle. I call bullshit on this one. I know there are some Rumbelle shippers out there (well, I guess that ship has sailed) but there are no real parallels here (other than the fact that they denied their feelings at first) and there is NO way this is TL. Rumble chose his desire for revenge over his love for Belle. And Belle is so delusional, she can't see Rumble for who he really is. Far from TL, this is a dysfunctional relationship that's going to end badly. We'll see in 4A.

I used to be quite happy sailing around on the Rumbelle Ship but to be honest I find myself drifting closer and closer to the liferafts. Just because they love each other does not mean that they are right for each other. Belle is only capable of seeing the good in him and just does not or cannot acknowledge the Dark side, or is convinced it's gone. Woman, it will never go away!! Belle needs and deserves someone who does not lie to her and completely trusts her. But then again Rumpel can't trust her because she doesn't seem to realise that someone who threatens or hurts his family is going to die. No two ways about it, he is going to kill that person. Also, she's carrying around that dagger in her handbag. It's fake, I know, but I mean come on!!

Anyway I'd like to add Bonny and Clyde syndrome to the list. Belle is just convinced she can save him. She deserves someone who will be honest with her and has the same morals as her ie. killing people, even really evil people, is bad. Rumpel, no matter how much he loves her, is not that person. She deserves way better. It's like having that friend who keeps making excuses as to why they stay with that a**. You love them, but you do end up losing respect for them.

I liked it when Belle called out Hook and Regina for trying to kill her/locking her up. She should do that more :)
