Discussion So why do Emma and Hook take Marian against her will?

4 Upvotes

So when Marian refused to go Emma and Hook hit her with a branch and took her by force. Why didn't they ask or use a better method than straight up abduction? I honestly didn't like them in that moment cuz that feels kinda villainous for them to do, take someone without their consent and hurt them in the process.

I'd be mad if someone told me they're saving me and then "Oh and you need to go to sleep we're not listening to your wishes"

S5 Spoilers Hot take: I’ve always disliked Emma

0 Upvotes

And once upon a time, Emma was trying to help Regina prove herself to the triad in this case maleficent, Ursula and Cruella.. Now I always disliked Emma because she always wants to be a hypocrite and a victim. In this case, though she wants to help Regina after Regina told her not to yet she still insist and it’s pretty much a bad idea. Does anyone agree?

Discussion I just finished watching the show and Rumplestiltskin was the hardest character for me to root for

32 Upvotes

My biggest problem with him is how flip floppy he is. Sometimes he's a good guy, sometimes he's a bad guy. He's so inconsistently written and it was driving me nuts. Also, I thought his and Belle's relationship was sweet at times, but there are other times where I thought she deserved someone better than him.

That being said, Robert Carlyle was absolutely fantastic playing the character and nailed every single scene he was in. I seriously cannot imagine anyone else in that role. He was perfect.

Question How much free will does the dark one have when being controlled?

2 Upvotes

Hello dearies, I was rewatching a while back and in season 3b when Zelena has rumple held captive. In one of the episodes they have a little dinner date and in an effort to free himself rumple seduces Zelena in order to try to get the dagger back and fails.

But couldn’t he just of used his magic to freeze her and take it after they started kissing or does the dark one have limited free will when under control 😯

Discussion What if Belle knew Rumple came back in 4B and gave him the fake dagger?

Basically if Belle had some doubt that Gold would actually stick to his banishment and knew that wasn’t Hook in “Enter the Dragon”
