Also, I have a friend who's been recommending season three to me... I might get sucked back in.
As far as rereads go I highly recommend it. Fanon is king in this fandom. As far as watching season three... Please see above gif. I swear the next time you quit a show we both watch I am quitting with you. I had to make a third twitter account (yes, third, 'cause I have a private one for mistaria so I can say what I want and then one attached to my real identity) just to deal with how much this show makes me feel like I'm on crazy pills. And the SQueens definitely help. But seriously this is going to be another Team Forever Bitter show for me unless they make some serious changes in season four.
I do recommend Save Henry, Going Home, and Witch Hunt for maximum Regina and SQ awesome. There are also magic lessons in The Jolly Rodger but it's a Hook ep so just skip his parts. And I enjoyed Quite a Common Fairy and somewhat enjoyed Kansas (just ignore Emma's complete stupidity)...Well, Regina's parts were awesome. And if you watch Kansas please have this image:
Otherwise do not watch. Just don't. Just watch those and then run screaming away from this show. The two hour season finale felt like it was written by a twelve year old Captain Swan shipper who hated Regina. If it had been fic I would have left a review about the logical inconsistencies. It brokeLily Sparks (http://www.tv.com/news/author/LilyRoRoSparks/) (her reviews are the best way to watch the season honestly).
Oh you should also check out these hilarious recaps (http://thelast-thingido.tumblr.com/thelast-thingirecap).
Also a SQueen posted this (https://mega.co.nz/#!1xExwKRI!tgh2UJVVKljGMaRG7DsMgGt69Cv8I6nne3MaVJXndNo) to twitter and said it has all of the SQ scenes of season three.
The amazing thing that's come from all this awful crap is on the fans side of things. The SQueens and other Once fans (I mean they completely pissed off the Neal/Emma shippers and the Rumbellers (that pairing has gotten worse, if you can believe it) this season too) have been talking about how Hook's character and Captain Swan contributes to rape culture and tweeting at Adam (writer/co-creater) about it a lot and it is so so awesome. Here's a recent commentary on it (and check out my twitter (https://twitter.com/squeeandsnark) if you want... my most recent tweets are retweets of some good commentary sent at Adam after he tried to defend Hook implying Emma was broken when he said he was glad she had her heart broken 'cause at least it meant she had a heart):
Okay this got really long so I'm going to leave a second comment full of good fic links.
