Episode Discussion 2x04: The Crocodile

Belle's disgust over Mr. Gold's continuing thirst for power comes to a head, and she threatens to leave him if he can't change his evil ways; the dwarves pick up their axes and try to find fairy dust in the Storybrooke mine; and a reunion with an old acquaintance could prove to be Belle's undoing. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale land that was, Rumplestiltskin attempts to save his wife, Milah, from being kidnapped by a band of cutthroat pirates.

P.S. Phew! Barely made it. Sorry for the delay. Wal-Mart had no less than 15 people in all 5/600 of its lines.

P.P.S. You all know it's really paining me to not use the picture I want up here. *meeps!!!*

I enjoyed this episode, especially Belle's journey and how she evolved from blindly believing Gold had changed to standing up for herself against Gold and her idiot Father and claiming her independence. Also, I talked about it a bit more in my personal episode commentary (http://lorelaisquared.livejournal.com/131001.html) but I found it interesting that Gold specifically stated that he was trying to break this "new curse". I'm wondering how significant this is. Like is there another curse at play? Did Regina do it? Did someone else? Is that why they're still in Storybrooke?

I think the "new curse" is their not being able to leave Storybrooke with their memories intact, so if Rumple left to find his son, he wouldn't know him anymore.
