It certainly wasn't subtle during the ep, but if I hadn't seen the promo I wouldn't have been able to guess it before seeing it!. They've taken a lot of stuff from the original novel (like his clothes, his assistant looking that way, him being a little bit of a ladies man and him drawing a lot) and added in, which was wonderful as well. Oh, and I found out that apparantly one of the director for one of the Frankenstein-films (I think it was the one with Helene Bonham-Carter and the dude who plays Gilderoy Lockhart) was named '-- Whale', which is very cool.
Lol, I thought Whale was Peter Pan or Merlin as well. How did we even come up with that? =D
I definitely like that we're getting Rumple's bastard-side =) it's actually nice, because we got a lot of his motivation very early on (his background story in 'Desperate Souls') but we didn't get any of Regina's real story until 'The Stable Boy' which I think was ep 19? So it was easier to sympathize with Rumple, because most of his evil deeds had a profound meaning behind them - getting to his son - but killing Milah and manipulating Regina to an extent like this - he's basically ruining her life (though of course she is responsible for her own actions as well) - is extremely harsh. The writers are showing it in our faces, and I'm loving it.
