Happened to accidentally watch this while I was doing something else and couldn't be bothered to change the channel
I ended up stopping what I was doing and fully focused on the show. I really liked it (love Beauty and the Beast)
I didn't fully understand the "real world" story since this is the first I've seen but I'm definitely going back to watch the previous episodes!
Still loving this show.... I do believe Mr. Gold is my favorite character.
I've liked the actor in other roles - as Rush on SG Universe, he played a similar character - neither evil nor good but always self-serving.
Any (new) ideas on who August is? Pretty sure it's kind of obvious by now, given the stiffness in his legs and his claim that he is dying.
