Is anyone else watching this show? Zy and I geek out about it often... Surely there are more people watching it. And if not, man, it's excellent.

My mom watches it every week, so I've seen a good portion of the show. I haven't been able to get into it yet, though. I missed the first few episodes, and a few ones in between, so I have no idea what's going on. But I have a feeling I'll be watching over the summer vacation.  |

For the record, Rumpelstiltskin/Mr Gold is the best character ever. Robert Carlyle does an amazing job playing him.

Rumplestiltskin is rapidly becoming one of my favorite characters of all time. He's the main reason I watch the show. <3
Considering making my profile "Rumplezylaaskin" and combating with Stal for the best Rumplestiltskin. =D

I really like the concept of this show a lot better than I thought I would from the previews for it(which gave me the impression that characters would travel back and forth between the two worlds and made it look like a typical ABC drama IMO). |

i like watching the show to overanalyze the absurd amounts of parallelism and symbolism... not so much for all the drama.

I really like it! =D I only got into it recently, but I went back and watched all the episodes from the start, and loved it. I think that some of the episodes have been kinda ridiculous... The one about the Seven Dwarfs, and the most recent one with the Mad Hatter for example. I didn't really like those episodes too much. XD But then some of the episodes have been fantastic... My favourite episode thus far was definitely Skin Deep, with Rumpelstiltskin and Belle! But yes, overall I love watching it =DDD |

Yeah, Jay, I'm considering rewatching Skin Deep once I catch up with the series just because it was that good. <3 Also, I love the balance of power between Regina and Mr. Gold after Skin Deep.
It had always been Rumplestiltskin with the upper hand, in my opinion, especially after how deftly he played Emma in the episode where she ran for Sheriff. He also is the only one who knows that Emma is in fact Snow White's child, and presumably the one who brought her here in the first place (if indirectly) by taking Henry to Regina. So once it's revealed that he knows he's Rumplestiltskin, it seemed pretty clear to me that he was the stronger of the two.
Then we learn that Regina has Belle locked up under the hospital. And that's the ultimate trump card. SO COOL. ... Poor Belle, I mean, but SO FREAKING COOL.
Also, can we all take a moment to appreciate that the rose company in Skin Deep is called "Game of Thorns?" Also also,
Mr. Gold says he has a problem with the nuns. Is this a problem I've forgotten from earlier episodes, or have we not learned yet?

=O I don't think I noticed Game Of Thorns, that is awesome!!! XDDDD One of my favourite things about this series is the mass of little references that they put in there like that. There's a ton of Disney references, which I always love! 8D I think that this could quite easily be wrong, but I always assumed that Gold's hate for the nuns went back to the likes of episode 4 - The Price of Gold - with Cinderella, because the Blue Fairy was the one who created that magic quill to trap him, and she's their leader. That could be entirely wrong though, and they may go into it later on. |

Jay, that makes sense! And I have a new theory regarding how the curse will eventually be broken.
Rumplestiltskin and Belle finally get True Love's Kiss.
We've seen, a lot, that TLK is the canon thing that makes every curse break. We've seen Mary Margaret and David kiss, though, and nothing happened, while Emma kissing The Huntsman just gave him back his memory. Only remaining significant TLKs would be Emma and the Writer, or Regina and Whoever It Was if he comes back from the grave.
Plus, this is Rumplestiltskin's curse. If he loses his powers, perhaps the curse breaks? Not necessarily, of course, but it's a possibility.
I mean basically I want this to happen because Rumplestiltskin/Belle has vaulted into my favorite pairing of the show and they're awesome. But even if this theory doesn't happen, I cannot wait until Gold finds out she's alive. <3 <3

So tonight's episode. Yeah. Pretty good. Love the way balance is shifting all over the place.
And the opening scene explained a lot of what I was previously disappointed on skipping over.

I felt so sorry for Regina. D=
And OMG KATHRYN'S ALIVE?! I thought the Queen might have pulled a few strings but she's definitely worked magic if she found a way to imitate DNA.
Unless she has a twin. |

It is a very weird feeling wanting to hug and comfort a villain. >__>
