OUAT 1x07

Oh my god, everything to do with the Huntsman and the show's mythology for him is COMPLETELY LOL-INDUCING.

I found Graham completely impossible to take seriously AT ALL. Animals are noble, blah blah blah. Seriously, I hold people who are supposed to be 'adept at murder' to higher standards than this. Also, why would you be getting drunk and trying to have conversations about your ~secret affair~ at Granny's? In front of everyone? While TALKING LOUDLY? That said, his death scene was well done. And I wish it had been a surprise.

Sidenote: I have never liked Emma more. She was totally speaking for the audience (or at least me) when she was all, "I don't want to be in the middle of this, what the hell is wrong with you, you're adults, NO ONE CARES, omg."

And Mary Margaret! Failing at one-night-stands. Go for you girl. Trying to have meaningless sex is exactly how I like my heroines to get over heartbreak.

So pathetic, I thought he'd break out in hysterics throughout the whole episode. Oh my god, a heartless huntsman who apes stereotypes of Native Americans? I guess the queen only saw him killing people at the bar. I don't know how people who are raised in the wild in real life act, but in order to make this more effective he should have been more misanthropic and just used to animal society, not "animals are pure and humans are not." Animals are self-interested. That seems to be what they were going for, but it came out more clichéd.

The plot was predictable. With the spoilers about a death, knowing what the episode would be about, and Graham's lack of personality, I knew he was going to die. And that he should have looked in the coffin. It was a good death, I agree.

So I've been teetering between does Regina know about her past or not. The shard of the glass coffin and this episode make me think yes. It's just her scene with Rumplestiltskin way back that had me thinking otherwise, though now I don't remember who seemed unknowing in that episode. My theory about Snow White's father being a pervert is shot now. Speaking of the past, making the Queen a rapist is making her unsympathetic for me. Well at least that means they don't mind having an unsympathetic female character with complexity. And I'd like a name for her.

Cliched, ridiculous, and nonsensical.

I know the scene you're talking about - and yes, it did put out the vibe that Regina didn't remember.

I was really, really unhappy about that choice.
