Captain Hook is one sexy man. I don't think this fact can be denied even in a serious discussion.
Anyways, this episode was fantastic. I love learning about Rumpelstiltskin's past so it is really good whenever they show more info on why he turned to magic and how many people have been hurt on his quest for power.
First, I am so happy this episode had no Emma in it. She annoys me at times and this episode was definitely one that did good without her presence. I like how this showed that Rumpel is still the same ol' coward manipulator as well as a man who cares too deep. I'm so happy he's letting Belle do what she wants, unlike her father...
Rumpel being the "crocodile" to Hook is hilarious and perfect.
Next episode, though. I am so ready for Whale! Victor Frankenstein? I hate that it was so obvious who he was. All anybody had to do was Google the 1931 movie and we all would have seen the director's name! I'm so excited, though I know the Victor Frankenstein in the show will be a lot different from his novel counterpart so I'm unsure of what should be expected.
