Belle (Real-world name unknown)

[Katerina]

She was pretty awesome in her episode, but in this last one, I didn't like her as much.

[Katerina]

She was just really... annoying. She went back to Gold! I get her reasoning.... but she can't always go back to him.

[Siareen, Awww, thank you Klyme! How long did I not notice?]

Then again, Belle is the stereotypical 'Stockholm Syndrome' victim, so it really shouldn't be so surprising.
Yes, I know, I'm being very cynical. True love and all. I don't really buy that, which is sort of problematic while watching this show, but I try to ignore that side of it.

At least I'm pretty sure Rumple wont hurt her, not after last time. So let her stay and try her best. It will be interesting to see how she will make it work. [Because we all know that in the end, true love prevails and bla bla bla and Rumple will realize the error in his ways. Hopefully with some more depth than just that :) ]

[Katerina]

Meh. Belle and Rumple are two different ends of a spectrum. Like Ying and Yang, Shang and Mulan (HAVE YOU WATCHED MULAN II?!) they fit perfectly, filling in each other's differences. And.... Belle does SO have Stockholm syndrome.

Same. I don't really buy the true love deal. Yes, it's nice to read about (I mean, who wouldn't want a werewolf mate meant just for them. The moment you meet each other... perfect happiness? Anyone would want that.) But I believe love is grown and cultivated. It's not an instant attraction kind of thing. Even when I have a crush, it's because of the guy's amazing personality, not his attractiveness (Although... that's usually a plus).

You know, if Rumple changes his ways, and then Regina tries to become a better person for Henry.... WHO'S LEFT TO BE EVIL?!

[Siareen, Awww, thank you Klyme! How long did I not notice?]

Yes, i have seen Mulan 2. Don't remind me. I'm trying to forget that horrible moment when Mushu was somehow the bad guy....

Completely agree about what you said about 'true love'...

Um, Hook... and Rumple wont change his ways, so no worries there :)

[Katerina]

Ah yes, Hook. I forgot about him. Hey. Making a hook topic with.. some interesting theories.
