I agree!! He is incredible!! I hate him but he is perfect for the part.
He was on Stargate: Universe. He also played a complex character there as well. Great actor.

No wonder why he looks familiar.. I love SGU!He was on Stargate: Universe. He also played a complex character there as well. Great actor.
I've always viewed Rumpelstiltskin as a teacher, of sorts, and we see that in the show, as well. Always quick to remind people that there is always a price to pay with magic.
In the original tale, I think he was out to prove a point to King & the Miller's Daughter that the most important things in life are our children, and loved ones. The King always referred to the Miller's daughter as "only" a Miller's daughter, but decided to marry her once he found out she could spin the straw into gold. He was only out for riches. For the girl? She, too, only wanted to live a life filled with riches, and marry into Royalty.
I don't think Rumpel really wanted the child, but only to make a point, to prove to the others that their priorities weren't straight. Now, I do think he intended them to feel the true hurt of losing the child, and not having the spell broken when they discovered his name, but, I still think they learned a lesson.

I'm wondering if they are one and the same (on the show). It seems like in this version of the Fairy tales, all the characters live in the same "land" (or realm, whatever they call it) and they're stories are connected to each other. I'm thinking the Sheriff could have been the one sent after Snow white and the one to rescue Red Riding.
I still kind of think that Emma has a role in the fairy tale realm too, as well as Henry. What would happen to them if the curse is broken? Does Snow and the Prince live not so happily ever after with out their first born? Is Emma still gone and never able to return? Would she return as a child or would she have still aged even though her mother and father haven't (or maybe they age a bit before Emma breaks the curse now that time is moving again, but probably not 28 years)
My thought is that when Emma breaks the curse, things will go back to the way they were before it started...which means Emma would grow up with her parents in Fairytale realm and have just as much a place in the stories as everyone else. If she doesn't have a "character" in the fairy tale realm it means that either the curse was never broken, or she is never returned to her parents once it is.
Henry knows she is going to be the "savior". How does he know this? Is it because he has read her story too?
This is only my guess, I think they are there to break the curse, once the curse is broke they will go back to fairytale land as if there was no curse. Emma will still be unborn and no one will remember anything.
That's what I think too, but wouldn't Emma have a "story" too then? If she ends up growing up in Fairytale land?
I guess it could be that each of the fairytales are only written up until the time of the curse, and as such we wouldn't know what Emma's role in that world would be, but then again Rumple knew that Emma would come to storybrooke, as did Henry, so it's possible that those two (and maybe others) do know what the future holds and what Emma's role in Fairytale land will be.
I also keep trying to remind myself knowing how lost went, this likely will end up not at all as we think it will. Henry will end up being a real life Pinnochio, lying to everyone to create a better world for himself, and Emma will be his "savior" and break the "curse" by giving him a reason to live in the real world. Or something lame like that.
I hated how Lost ended!
I don't remember the girl wanting to have a life rilled with riches. The king threatened to take her life if she couldn't spin the straw into gold, not once but three times. She was desperate. After the third time, he made her his wife. She gave Rumpelstiltskin her ring & I think a necklace in order for him to spin the straw into gold for her and when she had nothing left to give him, had to promise him her first born thinking it would never happen anyway. I just think he was an evil little man lol.
First I confess that I haven't read all 30 pages of this thread.
That being said...I just wanted to say how well done I think this series is. I admit that I tuned in (okay watched it on Hulu) out of sheer curiosity. Disney's channel & fairy tales. Who knew?
And it just seem to get better & better. Didn't see that coming with the sheriff
Hopefully, it will continue to be this good. And I agree...great job with the casting. And pulling in the last name Swan. Clever!
Maybe a Swan Princess reference?what is with the name Swan - i've been trying to figure out that catch?

Just a guess!
Elizabeth Swan from the Pirates of the Caribbean!
My guess was a "The Ugly Duckling" reference.
Smart. My guess is that she'll go from being an unhappy "ugly duckling" to a "swan".My guess was a "The Ugly Duckling" reference.
ITA, 100%
I LOVE having a show that I can watch as a family! I didn't even bother pre-screening this week's episode, though with a pregnant Cinderella next week, I might have to!!
