OUAT Regina - Tell Me Your Name 

+Someguyhere111 I've always imagined his first name to be Richard. I mean, he looks like a Richard. Plus it goes with his last name. Rich Gold. Hehehe.

I have always wondered about that...

His last name is Gold because he used to make straw into gold on his spinning wheel as a hobby

I've always wondered what's mr gold true name

@@shirelvictorica4141 writers actually never gave him a first name

It was magical to my 13 year old self. Also ive seen all the seasons 1-7 50 times each so i know lots

@@princessofmoonxx9653 same here lol

The Peter Pan season was the best for me. The reveal that pan was rumple’s father blew my mind. Loved how the writers took a beloved children’s character into a conniving psychopath.

But like, you have all the scenes that take place in the enchanted forest telling you henry's not imagining it

@@madisonwarner2494 I've seen a few similarly constructed shows that did scenes like that which turned out to just be imagined. Obviously the showrunners wanted the magic to be real, but I found it more fun to be unsure. Once the mystery element of the show was lost, for me it got a bit less enjoyable

Yeas, I thought it was rather ironic and brutal in the way the roles were reversed.

Yes! And all in the name of love, he never would have told her if she didn’t have the chipped cup!

That's right... he was a little sentimental, like Regina said. But one must also remember that Rumple assumed at the time that Belle was dead, and so the cup was a valuable memento.

He still could have just said "Please give me the cup"

​@@JavertRA He could have forced her to give it back with a Please, but then this is Regina. It's fairly likely she would've smashed it if he didn't do what she wanted.

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING it’s like a mask dropping. Physically nothing changed.. but also EVERYTHING changed.

ITS STUNNING

Woah.

Hell yeah!

omg you're right!!

Indeed, Dearie.

@@Fireeater-rl4ep that gave me chills. I heard it in Rumple's voice!

I like this scene too. Lana even said recently in the panel she did with jared and bex in Philly that it was one of her favorite scenes too

the moments when Mr Gold reaches for the cup, you can *see* the tension and how *much* he wants it. Absolutely brilliant acting. Such a good scene.

And there's a little flash of fear in Lana's eyes right after he names himself too. Because she knows, as he says "who has the real power here". Everything after is a bluff and he knows it.

Roger Get a Job

I love Gold

OH ALSO I have another theory, in addition to this. I've had a theory for a while, that Dark Ones are almost crippled by their penchant for deals. You mention a deal, a real one (you can't not have something he wants), and he *can't* kill you until the deal has been made. It's part of being The Dark One. Dark Ones make deals, always.

Didn't they make a deal that said she has to do whatever he asks, so long as he says "please"? I do agree with you though.....he used "please" when asking her to sit as a power play....but he knew EXACTLY what she wanted (for him to speak his true name). He didn't compel her to give him the cup because he knew she was using it to manipulate him (since she knew his sentimental attachment to it) and he wanted to show her who was really in control.

Also before the curse happened Rumplestiltskin told the evil queen that if the curse works she has to do everything he asks for if he says please

SkyWingFeather watch Gotham for that one scene where joker finally show his true colour

@@KageNoTenshi I've seen it. That's another excellent example, but for some reason, this had more of an effect on me. Maybe it's the difference between realizing Gold was lucid the whole time and realizing this kid's gonna rule Gotham from the shadows. Still, a helpless kid with a smile like that is enough to make you go "Oh. *Oh."*

I'm back here watching it 10 years after I first saw it, having thought of it this morning.

That dang teacup survives as long as Rumple and Belle’s Relationship doesn’t sink which is forever

Young Henry is so cute ❤️💙

Lmao

sorry but in my opinion fisrt season Henry is kinda annoying in my opinion. But i glad you found something good in something i hate.

​​That dang teacup got smashed once. Rumpelstiltskin magically put it back together. Which isn't something easily done for a person.

+Johntoxable I agree. Sometimes I see the potential for later (season 4/5) OUAT scenes to be more like this, but they're just so sloppy that they never quite reach this level of wit/tension/effective drama. That's not to say that this scene, in my opinion, is perfect either. (The actress of Emma delivered her bit expertly, though, in this scene.)

Yes, season 1 was definitely the best. There was more mystery and suspense.

Why can't you guys see the positive side to the newer seasons? They do not suck. I agree they're not always the best and I do believe some stories could've been written out better but they do not totally suck. I never expect anything to be perfect.

OUAT is still awesome!!!!

Once upon a time was always awesome

I don’t think so only because of the different outfit but then again it could be one of those tiny details they didn’t remember

microsoftgirl24 I just posted a comment and I was about to say in the comment that Regina was such a good Ice Queen back then.

Good point. Ingrid is great. I wonder how long she was in town before revealing herself.

I think she left for town shortly after Emma left her,so odds are 14 years give or take!Also Ingrid has about the only ice cream shop in town apparently...so odds are that scene of Ingrid taking Emma's memories happened somewhere around episodes 2-7.It would have to be before this,and I just think the first episode would be too soon....

@@redhood1426 none of what you said is fact and is just your headcanon. Just saying just in case you think what you said is a fact.

I'm with you, that's the scene I remember most from OUAT , and mainly for the chills I got thinking, "OMG he knows!!" Great television.

Same 😂 I was like >:O HE KNOWS! I CALLED IT!!!!

Sameee

Henry hi Emma Emma hey

YESS

2:16 "Rumplestiltskin"

I’m crying 😂😂😂

BethGoth15 I’m actually surprised that Emma didn’t ask him what flavor he wanted

@@LauraBwayMorris He's a prisoner, he doesn't get to pick XD

BethGoth15 O MY GOD I’M CRYING

​@@nikispade1350 Oh snap 😂 Emma so wasn't wasting time on asking though!! I would've paid to see Emma approach a seriously pissed off Mr. Gold protectively hunched over the teacup with... A rocky road double ice cream cone. With tiny marshmallows. Double as a thank you for letting her see Henry. I don't know why, but thinking about serious Mr. Gold licking a damn ice cream has me in stitches 😂

i thought so too but i must admit i liked it when mallifecent, cruella, and ursella came on i thought that was rather fun actually.

Meh it was still good and season 5 and 1 are my favorite seasons with season 3 and 2 being a close second.

@@taralang8854 I think the writers started treating the characters too much like stories. Earlier in the show it was established that all the fairies tales were actual accounts of real events that took place in another universe, and the people were brought here by a curse. So the "characters" were real people, not characters. But then they introduced the Author (who should've been called the Journalist imo), the Land of Untold Stories and when the Black Fairy tried to break Emma's faith the "Realms of Story" were being destroyed. I thought they weren't stories, I thought they were just realms? What happened? Are they aware of the fact that they're stories? It really removed a lot of the real world/fairy tale merging feel.

Season 4 > Season 5 if only just for the Author arc.

I agree 100 percent. part of the reason why i stopped watching the show

I think it has to do with the fact that season 1 was moving (both in flashback fairytale realm and current day) toward the one epic finale of Snow/Charming waking up in EF and curse being broken in Storybrooke. There’s really not much else the writers could have done. Had they kept the curse going, the show would not have lasted as long, people would’ve gotten bored. But moving on meant slightly less exciting, though I think equally interesting, storylines. There were limited options, but I think they did pretty well with what they have, don’t you?

@@mckayleem3098 I was surprised how well they pulled off the storylines not involving the curse all the way to mid S3 (The Neverland Arc, which is my favourite of the whole show, because of how it develops characters, has very enganging story, great villain and an ending that made me cry). However, after that I felt like they started losing ideas. The started reapeting the curse storyline, came back to Storybrooke without any changes in scenery, making the mid season finale of S3 have less impact. But my biggest problem with post-Neverland Once Upon a Time is how they ruined Rumpelstilskin. He was easily the best character in the early seasons and he should have stayed dead. After his ressurection they threw away all of his devlopment and made him evil without any reason. S4's first half was okay, but quite boring, S4's second half was a chaotic mess, S5's first half seemed like it was going to be great at the start, but was ruined with that stupid plot twist with Hook being the Dark One, S5's second half was actually quite good, I like how it brought back many of the characters from earlier seasons, S6 was good overall, I think it's my favourite from the post-Neverland era, and S7 started a bit slow, but got much better later and finally did Rumeplstislkin right.

Samu 987 I get that. Personally, I will love anything anyone does with a character just because Robert Carlyle’s so damn good, but from an objective standpoint him going back and forth between redemption and pure evil did begin to seem redundant post-season 3. Ultimately, I am still glad they brought him back because there were some great scenes and the closure they gave him in season 7 was top-notch. And I also loved Dark Hook just because the writers really set Colin O’donohugh free and I was not disappointed by his chilling performance. He made a great dark one, but yes the fact that so many people have become and un-become Dark Ones has significantly lessened the power/impact of that title. So I see your point. I loved season 5, but I think that’s just because I had an obsession with the Camelot type stories when I was young and the first half of the season really woke up that child-like fascination with all-things-medieval 😂 I would have liked season 6, but honestly Robin’s death broke me and I had a hard time enjoying anything after end of season 5 because of it. Again, objectively it’s a different story. It was a great season and I could see that, but I also found them killing off Robin really pointless. It was hard to continue because it Regina’s arch seemed like it would have no resolution. It also made me hate Zelena. Regina had someone and was doing well and then they had to mess it all up again lol. I also didn’t like how they brought Robin/not-Robin back in S6. And they whole EQ/Regina feud got a bit muddled toward the end. I see what they were trying to do and it did make a valuable point, but it’s still just odd that she was split in half and they left it that way. I will say that, as painful as it was, I do respect the writers for keeping Robin dead in S7. As much as I hated his death, bringing him back just would’ve made everything they went through seem irrelevant and wouldn’t have reflected reality very well. Even if I disagree with the initial decision to kill him, if you make a choice as a writer, stick to the choice.

Hook wasn't good.

The only heroes who were fantastic were Emma (usually) and Robin Hood, who originally tried to murd*r Rumpelstiltskin to steal from him. Sooo not the most heroic, though I guess David actually did the same thing with the Siren and still counts as a hero. Guess it doesn't count as murd*r when it's a monster, hey?

yes he is

agree

So you mean all the freaking time/whenever he appears on screen?

Eloísa García what do women see in him aside from the awesome hair?

@@Lonarix1 in season 1 and 2 him and Regina have the same haircut 😂😂

Regina: oh sh*t.

The curse was broken, so that part of the was essentially void either way

1) Haven't watched further from this episode so can't answer that. 2) I expect she did as she said "just this once".

@@BennyFireKing thanks

@@BennyFireKing I thought she said just this once to Regina being left alone with a prisoner

Yeah, they did. But Ingrid took her memory so that's why Emma didn't remember about her.

Here's another reference to the original tale: in the original version when she guesses his name, he gets so mad he stomps his right foot so hard it opens a chasm that he falls into. Which foot was it that her hurt? His right one!

​@@littlesongbird1 The name Rumpelstiltskin means "little rattle stilt," which is taken to possibly mean two things - one, a goblin/imp who shakes house posts or two, a person who uses a stick to walk. Sound familiar?

@@CatGold5047 Neat. I never knew that thanks for sharing.

+KatzePiano If he'd say please she would know that he remembers

+‫עלמה .ב‬ I don't really see what your point is. He uses 'please' in the past, implying that he remembers, but not explicitly stating it. I think it's part of why Regina suspected. Like I said, he was tired of pretending and wanted to tell her who was in control. And the way to do that was to outright admit that he remembered who he was by telling her his name. Using the please trick at that point might have tipped her off, but they were both tired of playing games and Rumple can't resist a deal, so he accepted hers.

That and the fact that Gold just wanted the chipped cup back. There wasn't magic in Storybrooke at this point so if Gold didn't do what Regina asked, he was never going to get the only thing he had left from Belle at that time.

bigb860 What we're talking about was the reason Gold didn't use the "please" trick, which didn't require magic. It was a condition under which Regina was given the curse, that she must do what Rumple asked as long as he said "please". I'm not sure exactly how it worked, but we were shown it being successful several times without magic around. My point was that he could have said "please" to get the cup back, but he was tired of the pretense and wanted Regina to know that he remembered and was in control.

KatzePiano Yeah, good point. Didn't think of it that way. Wasn't there a scene where Gold tried the "please" and Regina said something like "Your pleases no longer effect me", or something like that and ever since then, it never happened? I can't remember if it was before or after this. But I do see your point. It was time she knew the truth. Gold was locked up but still had to ensure she knew he was still Rumpelstiltskin.

There are so many emotional scenes in the series and quite a few shook me to the core. I find it fascinating how the story is told. Little by little you learn why the characters do what they do, what happened in the past and how they became what they are.... This is my 7th time watching the series (Am I addicted? Of course 😅😅) and I'm still noticing details I hadn't seen before... I might consider myself a serial junkie, but this show is the best I've ever seen.

I wonder if that was the real reason she lied about Belle being alive. All he had to do was tell her "Please" and she would have released Belle.

@Mila Milo Uhh seriously? Regina was using the control she had over the huntsman's heart to rape him, and Zelena also used magic to disguise herself as Robin's wife to rape him. Hard to argue this couldn't happen when it actually did, lol.

@@EuphoriaDreamer It seems whoever you replied to deleted their comment. But I must admit, I’m dying to know what was said

@@ChestersonJack Can't remember exactly, but I think they just said that rapey things couldn't happen on the show.

@@EuphoriaDreamer Ah, I see. Honestly, it’s kind of an iffy subject because there’s also authorial intent. To you and me, it’s clear that having sex with someone under false pretenses (zelena’s diguisre, gothel’s disguise) is false consent and thus counts as rape, and someone being literally unable to say no to it (Regina with the heart) also counts, but other people who aren’t as knowledgeable about the ethics of consent may not see it the same way. As such, they might get away with showing something like that (also note in all the examples, it’s women who are exerting power over men, probably because it’s seen as “less bad” in the eyes of the ignorant) but more explicit r*pe could be considered too far. I feel like there’s a line that they don’t want to cross, albeit one that seems arbitrarily made based off unconscious biases.

*Henry's

Seemed for sure after episode 6 when Graham died

Plus, as he said, the fact that he never forgot who he really was changes nothing about the deal between him and the Queen.

@@Stardweller1 he did forget who he was. It was when emma told him her name that made him remember who he was.

They never really were frank and honest with each other of what he really wants, she can act as if he wanted something else, and whenever he says "Please", she would act foolish and give him another item.

Yeah right. It is clear to her that he remembers - "please sit" 😅

Umm.. That's not it

Yeah I’m on 5 and I can see it going downhill since the second half of s4. I’m still enjoying it for moments like these.

@@nanossquad1706 I still enjoyed it with my niece tho. Wish they’d make a reboot 😢

Me to!

agreeddd

Yes, this absolute confusion seconds before! Played so brilliantly... Rumple has no idea what Regina wants from him. And I buy that 100 percent from Robert.

Episode?

Morosoro Dubuc i'm screaming
