Well there's certainly no shortage of baddies in fairy tales. They could fight, hm, Baba Yaga? Koschei the Deathless? Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox?
I was thinking Billy initially, but now that I've re-read the press release with the Rumple!Beast theory in mind, I'm not so sure. I was prepared to be very upset at the idea of Rumple!Beast, but after further thought watching Rumple get chewed out by Belle would be pretty amazing. At least I'm assuming Belle is still spunky. I really hope she is. And once again Disney, congrats on working another ballgown in there.
My main post-transformation theory was that Bae fled his father and either went to the war front or settled in another village and lived and died without ever seeing his father again. I like the idea because of how poignant it makes Rumple's situation-- a man who was willing to sacrifice anything to save his son now can't even be bothered to remember him. But in that case, we do lose out on their very emotional reconciliation. Hm...
I must relay this theory to my sister immediately. We were sitting on the phone for a good fifteen minutes trying to figure out how Sherlock did not end up street pizza. And bemoaning the fact that John has to suffer all that emotional turmoil for no reason. Or at least, not for a reason he'll appreciate.
Off topic again: I finally watched the Full Monty. It'll be a good week or two before I'm able to see Mr. Gold without imagining him in a red thong.
