Rumple is definitely my favourite character in this show. I know he's one of the villains but I am totally cheering him on to win.

And I'm tired of Mary Margaret's storyline. Mainly because they've written the Prince (and his real world incarnation) as such a wimpy douche.

I liked it. Nice development at the end with the admission of Your Majesty and Rumple. Liked that they had Ashley and Sean come back even briefly. Gives the universe little bit more depth that people aren't just there for their storyline and then we don't see them again.

Loved the "Game of Thorns" business name.

I love the way they're tying elements from the established cartoons and just going in a totally different direction with it.

Loved the nod to game of thrones! By my count that is 6 popular shows that had game of thrones references

Really strong episode. Now we know for a fact that Rumps knows what's going on. More backstory on the rivalry that Rumps and the Queen have. I liked the Beauty and the Beast twist with having Rumps be the Beast. For someone that seems to know everything it's odd that Rumps doesn't know Belle is in the mental institution.

How did he mangage to bring the chiped cup over from Fairytale land?

Wait, they've brought over countless people and possibly even created a whole town for them to occupy and you're wondering about the chiped cup.

Loved this episode.

With Regina/The Queen clearly being evil, I wonder if they're setting up a battle of Good vs. Evil, with Rumps/Mr. Gold eventually leading the side of Good. They humanized (somewhat) both Rumps and Gold this ep.

Not just any nuthouse... I saw Nurse Ratchet and the Chief. One flew over the cuckoo's nest for sure.

I'm guessing that's where they may be going with this. Perhaps the second (and most likely last) season will be an all out war between the Queen/Regina and Rumpelstiltskin/Gold. It'd be awesome if that were the case.
