scream So the last episode made me really angry. I mean come on Rumplstiltskin! You finnaly have Belle back and you're STILL evil?! WTF!
gaia_angelright How could you not expect that? I mean seriously he wasn't called the dark one for nothing, and he isn't the most evil villan in fairy tale history for nothing. He is the badest of bad. To be honest even if they defeated Regina, there is no way anyone can defeat him. And that is why he never gets anything really good and keeps it. He just doesn't have the heart and he will probably never keep belle...just because he is that evil...the only person that Rumple will ever really care about is what's in it for Rumple.. gaia_angelleft
I thought the same at first, but then I realized that Gold is only bringing magic to Storybrooke in hopes of (as far as my theory goes) finding Bae. When he said "Magic is power" at the end, he meant that with power he can accomplish anything, even the impossible - even finding Bae.
As for Rumple being evil... Watch "Desperate Souls" again and then say he's evil. That's where we see Gold's real side. He gives Emma the walkie talkies for no reason other than to see her spend some time with her child, knowing the consequences of taking that time for granted. He does this kindness for Emma expecting nothing at all in return. And
that is where Gold and Regina differ in terms of "evil."
As for his love of Belle, watch "Skin Deep" again. He would not have gone to all the trouble AND kept the chipped cup if he wasn't in love with Belle.
He would not have beaten Moe senseless -
He would not have cried after Regina told him Belle was dead -
He would not have cried after he reunited with Belle and found she was still alive -
if he was not in love with her.
On another note, I do believe that Rumple cares very much for his son and that he cannot be truly happy until he finds him - or at least knows that he's alive. In "The Return," Rumple says that all he wants is his son's happiness. He said he needs power to protect Bae, but Bae said he wouldn't need protecting if Rumple didn't have power. So my hypothesis is that Rumple/Gold may actually die in this next season in order to give up his powers, which would show the ultimate depth of his love for Bae....
Or he could just kiss Belle (for real this time) and break the curse that way, now that he knows that Belle was innocent and truly loved him all along.
