Desperate Souls- Another dark and emotional episode. Thank you for another fabulous reaction, Sora! What a great episode! Things in Storybrooke are absolutely changing. Things are heating up. :) And the actor who plays Gold, Rumplestiltskin, and the cowardly Rumplestiltskin before he was the Dark One... Absolutely phenomenal! Robert Carlyle. No one could ever play this character, or any side of him better. He's just fantastic. Definitely one of the strongest characters from this beautiful show, and his dialogue in every scene he's in is truly phenomenal. And... Rumplestiltskin most definitely plays all sides. :) First, regarding some of Robert Carlyle's other roles in shows and/or movies... Outside of Once Upon a Time... He's best known for the movies... The Full Monty and Trainspotting. He's also known for movies such as Eragon, The Beach, 007: The World is Not Enough, Formula 51, and the TV series'... Hamish McBeth and Stargate: Universe. There are others, but these are what I know him from the most. If you're ever looking for other shows or movies to watch, and if you're interested in seeing Robert Carlyle in more outside of Once Upon a Time, these titles are some ideas for you. And now, regarding my only one tiny nitpick about this episode... The scene where Rumplestiltskin enters the castle to retrieve the dagger, definitely feels strange and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It's really one of the only brief scenes throughout this episode that I don't care for, because while I really like Rumple's overall plan to get inside the castle... I feel like this scene is slightly poorly executed and could have been done a little bit differently. One... It seems strange that they don't at the very least show soldiers and guards running from the castle's main hall where the dagger was hidden upon it catching fire. And two... For me, it also feels strange to me that the Duke of the Frontlands said to be holding power over the Dark One, would keep the dagger someplace where anyone could easily steal it during any chaos created by the fire, including the Dark One himself while in the disguise of the beggar, unless of course the Duke commanded the Dark One to never touch his dagger again, or something like that. But anyone else could have surely stolen it from within the castle, I think. And I think that the Duke would have been smart enough to keep the dagger on him, or at least something so valuable someplace more secure and secret so it wouldn't be found and stolen. But this little issue with the episode was the fault of the show's writers, or perhaps the creators. Not Robert Carlyle's by any means. Rumplestiltskin stealing the dagger simply felt too easy. Overall... I love both the past storyline and the present storyline in Storybrooke. Both are really well done and the parallels from both past and present, as well as the lines being brought back again, are fantastic. I love not only Rumple, but of course Emma and Regina too. And Jared Gilmore's (Henry) acting is really good in this episode. He's improving every episode for sure. Not that I haven't always loved him, because I absolutely do. He's an adorable child. I love the scenes between Emma and Henry. First... In the beginning when they talk about Graham's death, and Emma sees how guilt ridden Henry is because he blames himself. And second... towards the end inside Granny's when they talk about Emma's bravery in standing up to Mr. Gold. Moments between Emma and Henry are beautiful. I have a few favorite lines within this episode... I especially love Gold telling Emma he knows how to recognize a desperate soul, just as the former Dark One, Zoso, tells Rumple. And I absolutely love his lines with Regina when he talks about loving and appreciating the smaller weapons... The fine points of a needle, a pen, and of a deal or contract. This line shows just how cunning and tricky Gold/Rumplestiltskin, or the Dark One can really be. Fabulous! One of my absolute favorite moments within this episode... I love, love, love the moment between Emma and Mary Margaret at the election, as Emma shares with Mary Margaret her reasons for wanting to win the election, to show Henry that heroes can win by doing the right thing despite the villains' trickery. And how she fears that if she can't be the hero, or Savior, then what place does she have in his life. Because right now... Emma does not have any legal rights to be his mother. It's so sad and quite a beautiful moment for her character. And Jennifer Morrison's acting is quite amazing, all throughout this episode, just as I love her throughout this entire show. Her scenes with Gold in this episode are amazing! Scenes like these are why Emma is one of my overall favorite characters throughout this show. And then... I also love the moment Rumple first becomes the Dark One and then when he is first seen fully as the new Dark One. What a transformation from the village coward to this new and terrifying villain! And I love how Rumple reveals how he's no longer afraid, and will never be again. So long as he is able to hold onto his power that is. Very dark and creepy, and so amazing too! What a brilliant story idea for the Dark One to be controlled by a magical dagger, and for the power of the Darkness to become transferred into whoever kills the Dark One with the dagger. Now, in regards to the power of the Dark One... There's so much more to come that expounds upon Rumple's power as the Dark One, and it's all so good. However, this is definitely a tragic moment for poor Rumple, because he was so desperate to save his son and to become someone other than the village coward, after being ridiculed and mocked for so long, that the Darkness of the dagger is able to corrupt him and destroy the good man he was immediately. As for Zoso... I really like the darkness and eerie feel for the previous Dark One, and how he manages to manipulate Rumplestiltskin into stealing the dagger, then gets him to use it to kill him in order to get Rumplestiltskin to take on what had become too much of a burden for him. The Darkness, and the power that comes with becoming the Dark One. The price effects each Dark One differently and each person connects to it differently. Just as you have seen with Zoso, who saw his power to be nothing but a burden, and now Rumplestiltskin, who clearly loves the power and the supposed courage and strength his newfound power gives him. And Brad Dourif is also another great actor too. I know him from a number of shows such as...Ponderosa, Law and Order, Law and Order: SVU, Psych, The Magnificent Seven, Star Trek: Voyager, Murder She Wrote, etc... As well as a number of movies such as... Murder in the First, The Lord of the Rings (Worm Tongue, or Grima), etc... He's fantastic! And lastly... I absolutely love how Gold manipulates Emma by helping her to win through setting the fire so she could be a hero in everyone's eyes, and I love how he knew the outcome of the election, and knew that Emma would turn against him by outing him to the people because she's truly good and honest, which is exactly what he wanted so that she could become the new sheriff. I absolutely love his line as he speaks to her about how everyone fears Regina, but that they're more afraid of him. Again... Phenomenal! And Robert Carlyle in this end scene with Emma is incredible!! He's absolutely top notch. Overall... This is an excellent episode, and I absolutely enjoyed your reaction for it, Sora. Everyone's appearances throughout this episode are brilliant! Especially the encounters between Emma and Gold, as well as between Gold and Regina, and Regina and Emma. Thank you so much, my dear friend! Such a fun reaction like always. :) Until next time... Sincerely, Heidi
