But in true ONCE fashion they barely alluded to it. Oh, well…

- Belle: OMG, you're gonna find your son and we'll be a happy family together, have picnics...
- Belle: ... aaaannnnddd he's dead.

Gotta be the Charming moments:
A) Charming punching Hook out of the blue.
B) Charming watching the Rumbelle farewell scene till Rumple eyes him weirdly. I know it’s your OTP, Charming, but a little privacy would not be amiss.

Repeat after me, Snow: You do not owe anything to Regina. You do not owe anything to Regina.
If you wanna rescue her cause it’s the right thing to do then good for you. But you do not owe anything to Regina.

Here’s the Popsugar Interview where Emilie blatantly admits that Belle’s character development into something more of a guest star is cause of Rumbelle. She’s really nice about it too.

- Charmings: Oh, no! Cinderella signed a contract with Rumplestiltskin, the fiend, and now he comes for her baby! We must put him behind bars to protect her and others!
- Charmings: Regina has tried to kill us several times and take over the kingdom! And, to our knowledge, she's orchestrated more than one slaughter and sworn revenge on everyone we love till her last breath. We must... allow her to go back to her cosy fort-like castle to live in luxury with her guards and her prisoners? That... that's a good plan, right? Solid.

Based on an obscure quote from Bobby I have a theory about the finale that… yeah, no. Please no.
Edit: I take it back. Yes. YES. PLEASE.

Rumple’s FTL appearances were riddled with Rumbelle subtext. In the first scene we watch him admire a vase of flowers in the Queen’s room, bending over to smell their scent, a tiny, soft little smile on his face before he goes back to being mocking. The moment is precious. He’s besotted but doesn’t know it yet.
Then he spots a mirror and spends the rest of his visit admiring himself from different angles, adjusting bits of clothing. His hair is combed and he re-arranged the pin in his cravat critically.
In the last scene it’s confirmed that he has recently acquired a new maid. A promising girl. Unlike when Charming visits the Dark Castle some time later the entrance hall is all light, a stylish vase of flowers sitting atop the only table. Though Rumple always pretends to be in a good mood he’s almost bouncing then.
I LOVE subtext. I adore how Robert sneaks it in (just like he does when Belle is gone and it shows in how Rumple behaves). Kudos to both Robert and Jane for that.

It was well-written but all Regina storylines bore me to tears. I was kinda appalled about Maleficent (harsh, Regina, keeping her like that) and, you know, that whole village, but other than the obscure reference to Rumbelle and Rumple’s FTL appearance it was rather dull.
I did predict too, weeks ago, that Emma would distrust Tamara and everyone would say “Oh, how adorably jealous you are!”

I got this ask yesterday at night and it got me thinking about a lot of stuff, so I decided to make it into a tiny little meta about what I feel is going on with Belle, Rumbelle, the producers and Jane Espenson.
Under the Read More for length.

That ABC Lacey Promo was more about Regina and the Charmings than Rumbelle. I don't get why ABC isn't promoting them more, are they only popular online or something or hasn't the PR department caught up yet?

I was my hands off the ABC PR department. It sucks, which is why most of the time the Canadian promos are WAY better.
I suppose it WOULD be a little too much to expect Lacey to be portrayed as an episode about Lacey. Instead is more Regina, more Charmings and let us all be beat over the head with the new character that’s introduced when there are 4 fucking episodes left on the fucking season.
I’m done. Bringing Robin Hood into this at this point and with the amount of characters OUAT has was stupid. Promoting it to kingdom come was the cherry on top.

So “All new next Sunday experience the first of three new episodes” my ass.
-
Someone please help me not suffocate? Cause the Canadian promo, for once, was very meh.
