Hey, I'm here from abc-onceupon; I haven't seen 2x21 yet, so please don't spoil it for me if you reply!

is there anything that he didn't engineer?
Lol. I makes me stupidly happy to still get a "oh, and by the way, this was Rumple's doing as well" this late in the series. (I would never, ever get tired of this.)

I thought that Hook was brilliant in this episode. I wonder, if Regina hadn't betrayed him, would he actually have chosen her side?

"You roped the kid into this?" somebody needs to tell Neal that his son is a master manipulator, possibly greater than his grandfather.
Heh. Who roped in who here, hm?

now I'm wondering why Snow trusts/trusted Rumplestiltskin as much as she's done
Hm, that's a good question. Shouldn't she have been more suspicious, when they first meet, just from Regina expecting him to come to her aid? She is much too trusting towards him, and she especially doesn't seem to suspect him of playing a deeper game - which, if she knew he'd been involved with Regina this early on, perhaps she should have?

a reference to Belle? that early on? interesting.
I think it's too early, and that's he's had maids before? I think there must have been a specific reason why he kidnapped Belle in the first place.

something of a self-reinforcing cycle - nobody thinks she can improve, so she has less reason to try improving herself, and because she's not getting better, even fewer people think she can be good, so...
I feel that maybe she could have let Snow a little time to cool down about how all the people's she's lived with lately have been brutally slaughtered before deciding that she's lost for good. :/ *sigh*

2x21?

>Heh. Who roped in who here, hm?
inherited it from Regina, or learned it from Regina?

wait, I mean inherited from Rumplestiltskin. bit of a typo.

> I wonder, if Regina hadn't betrayed him, would he actually have chosen her side?
maybe yes, maybe no; but while its too late to find out, he might offer alliance later on? (s3)

>I think it's too early, and that's he's had maids before? I think there must have been a specific reason why he kidnapped Belle in the first place.
kidnapped?

I think the only thing Rumplestiltskin didn't engineer, was the return(s) of the ogres.

> maybe she could have let Snow a little time to cool down about how all the people's she's lived with lately have been brutally slaughtered
ditto for Regina; they both tend to forget they have things in common.
