Rumple is way too over the top!<br /><br />I watched this show happily and religiously until somewhere in the middle of season two...and then they lost me. Too many weird characters, too much repetition of the same plot devices, at least for me. I know plenty of people still love it, though, so I might just be too picky!

We get it, you don't want anyone messing with your "son".<br /><br />In the glimpses I've gotten of more recent episodes, though, she's more nuanced and therefore more appealing to me.

I saw her in the movie "He's Just Not That Into You," then on that Bill Paxton movie where he was married to three women. Ginnifer was one of them.
