I keep remembering what Rumplestiltskin said, which is that magic can't bring back the dead. Even when Dr. Frankenstein brought back his brother with science and the enchanted heart, Gerhardt was not entirely the same as he was before. I'm wondering if Mr. Gold does "come back", if he too will have a great price to pay for it in some form or another. I agree.... as heartbreaking as Rumplesiltskin's fate was, it still felt right. OUaT should not destory that epic conclusion, with some cheap gimmick.

Mr. Gold sacrificed himself for the greater good, and died a true hero. No matter how much he tried to deny it, his father's sins still haunted him. When he kissed Malcolm, as they disappeared; Rumplestilskin was that little boy who craved his father's love, all over again. It was a poignant moment, and ever well-executed.

Many fans had been hoping, OUaT would be bold enough, to kill a main character. Now that they have, fans are complaining, yet again. I love both Rumplestilskin and Peter Pan, but I also loved their fate. It was an epic ending, for two epic characters.

If OUaT does come up with some loophole to resurrect Mr. Gold, then there is a loophole for Peter Pan. Which creates a big problem.... Peter Pan has been shown, to be virtually unstoppable.
