Noooo, THE BEAST! (Assuming I've interpreted that sneek peek correctly, I am not at all surprised, but still disappointed that they skimped on special effects for a full character).
I've been raging for two solid weeks since Jane has such a hard on for Rumps she turns Belle into a Mary Sue to hump him instead of doing se good like furthering the plot
I'm so CAPSLOCK excited for this episode that only the presence of a sleeping baby in the room kept me from shouting in delight at these clips :) Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale and Rumpelstiltskin was one of the stories that taught me as a child that I didn't have to agree with the narrator (I honestly thought that the baby would be better off in a hut in the woods with a magical creature rather than living with a father willing to cut the head off of her mother and a mother willing to bargain her away! I was pretty judgemental of characters in fairy tales as a kid ;) So I'm very eager to see this blending of these two stories that are so very dear to my heart!
I *love* the expression on 'Pel's face when he catches Belle. That "wait--why did I do that??" look is just so perfect!
There is going to be angst but I love angst so bring it on. Also I'd say some exploration of just how dangerous he can be which is something I find very interesting about him. So I'm happy with all of it. :)
I couldn't wait for the clips to come out this time! And I was happy to find some really nice HD versions. I've been studying what we see of his houses (in both worlds) and looking at his clothing. Usually I try to avoid them but I knew I wasn't going to be able to do it considering.
I've never thought about the Rumpelstiltskin story that way but you're right - that child deserved better.
That is an excellent expression. He got more than he bargained for.
Well, I, for one, am completely enamored with Beast!Rumple. I don't even care if this episode makes him just a little more evil (or a lot). He's obviously a focus character in this show (Rumple Ex Machina) and I'm delighted. Here's to reinvention, self-insert, and just generally HAVING FUN with fandom. :)
Waiting anxiously to see this Rumple / Gold-centric episode. My absolute favorite character! It will be delightful to see an ep that is (mostly) devoted to him. Robert Carlyle is always a fascinating and delicious treat! : D

Yes! I'm with you! I find it clear that they wrote the character from the beginning with the intention of having him tie everything together and be in everyone's stories. And, if you listen to the producers, they are huge Carlyle fanboys who are delighted to have the chance to write for him.
He is my favorite character as well so I am happy to see another episode focusing on him. *g* And he's the most mysterious character on the show so a little more insight into him will be excellent!
Mine too. *g* It means they have excellent taste in actors. You can do worse than to base your show in part around him. The man can bring it. (Have you seen the Rumpelstiltskin character vid (http://vimeo.com/36279651) where the producers talk a bit about how awesome he is?)
