OP of OUAT thread--I don't know if anyone is still doing this, but people used to make compilations of various OUAT characters' flashbacks and SB scenes in chronological order. Maybe hunt down one of those for Rumpelstiltskin? Also, no idea when you stopped watching, but season 2 derailed about halfway through when the writers got the rights to Peter Pan. Now, halfway through season 3, it looks to maybe be picking up again. Dunno if it's enough to get the show past season 4 that'll probably happen to guarantee syndication rights, but 3.11 and 3.12 feel almost like the best parts of season 1.

Fair warning: if you stopped watching because "goddammit, why the fuck is everyone related?" then stay the hell away and just look for Rumple compilations.

Love-letter-to-Rumplestiltskin anon here, and I'll agree with this too. The Neverland arc in particular had pacing issues up the wazoo and did some alarming things to some characters' story arcs, introduced a very annoying love triangle, and threw in probably the most WTF curve-ball long-lost relative yet (though the second half of S3 promises to do that again). Around half way through S2 things got weird and clunky and the whole everyone's-related thing got really weird, and they're only just picking back up again now.

The show's got problems. Quite a few of them. I love it, but then I would probably watch the biggest ball of shite and tripe just to see Rumple and Emma be awesome and tragic some more. I don't think we're there yet, and I actually think we're recovering a bit right now, but I am horribly biased and should admit that up front :)
