1.”Guess my name” is hardly a reasonable game to play in the circumstances of forced child-snatching, poker would have been more ballsy or apt.
2. he made up a song with his name as the punchline, not clever….with 6 degrees of separation nowadays and probably two back then, he should have known better.
3. he sang it, he could have just whistled it or maybe hummed it.
4. Why didn’t he just say she was wrong? “what the hell’s a Rumple-stiltskin?, my name is derek actually, Derek the goblin, idiot-face…..”
5. what did he get for turning straw into gold in the end? M,oreover, if he could do that then land would have been a much better option, grow some grass (hay?) and the rest would take care of itself. Pretty short-sighted.
6. The princess seems to show no remorse at basically cheating and robbing Rumplestiltskin. I would seriously question her morals and if she sleeps well at night.
7. What was the Prince doing? If someone, no matter who or what the bargain was that involved my flesh and blood, came to me with that request/ ridiculously disproportionate demand I would see it as a threat and kill it. Baring in mind it is fairytale times it wouldnt even have counted as man-slaughter. Pest control at worst. No-balls prince is totally inaffectual as a provider or protector. I bet their marriage crumbled and the child grew-up over privileged and dysfunctional.
8. What did Rumplestiltskin want with the kid anyway? Human-trafficking? An urge to nurture? I mean, the guy is clearly not without talents.
9. Surely he could buy a child with some straw-gold?
10. Let’s get one thing straight, The princess set out to cheat from the start, the messenger did not ‘overhear’ anything, he/she was sent to follow the guy and was probably there to kill Rumple, perhaps the Hit was put out by the seemingly emasculated Prince, I’d like to think so.
