I want to see Rumpelstiltskin's hair on Mr. Gold. Frankly, I think Carlyle can pull off messy, wavy hair well.

What I find so fascinating about Rumpelstiltskin is unlike the rest of Storybrooke, with the exception of Jefferson and Regina, he knew exactly who he was. Regina and Jefferson's personality did not change going from the magical realm to Maine. But Rumpelstiltskin's did. Yes, he is still a manipulator but he is not campy and over the top. Gold is very reserved. I just want to know why?

I'm guessing because he was in it for the long haul. He had a long term game plan, and he couldn't exactly go around like his old self when no one else had memories. Without magic, they'd just have locked him up in the looney bin for prancing around and cackling.

Writers claimed at one point he didn't remember who he was until Emma came to town and said her name. I don't really think that actually makes sense, but it explains the character choice from a Doyalist POV.

But Jefferson did change. It was just hard to nail down his personality from his few episodes. Watch The Doctor: The Mad Hatter's personality there is completely different from Jefferson's in Storybrooke. He's still not all there, but in a very different way.

My best guess has to do with how time plays out in Storybrooke, which is something that's been bothering me. Clearly, as shown by Hansel, Gretel, Grace, and Ella's child, children do not age. Henry does, but he never mentions finding it weird that he's getting older but no one else is. There has to be some loss of the conception of time.

Well, what if it's a time loop? What if people are just repeating their lives over and over again but Henry hasn't noticed because Regina has been aware enough and changing enough for him to brush the oddities away? This would mean that Mr. Gold is stuck in a world where only one person (Henry) actually changes. How quickly would you learn everything about everybody and get tired of watching them live their lives in a perpetual loop? He's been there for 28 years watching them. Before Henry, it was just him and Regina, and an increasingly obsessive Jefferson. Regina's in her own paradise, watching the suffering of people. Jefferson is in his mansion, tearing himself apart. Mr. Gold has no leads on Belle's whereabouts, and he has no one to bargain with because everyone is doing the same thing they've always done. There's no excitement in his world. There's just searching and waiting, and plotting.

Under those circumstances, I'm pretty sure anyone would change.
