OUAT 2x03

• I wanted to fucking slap the ever loving fuck out of Henry for asking Regina to lunch and then standing her up. Like, it literally bothers me how much I want to physically hurt a ten-year-old boy. But did you hear Regina's voice? God. And then she took another level in being a decent person and sent Charming to get Henry.
• Not being able to bare a child in not A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH. Man, if my mom (aka MY ONLY FAMILY) died so I could have babies with my True Love instead of getting to have both Mom and True Love and maybe an adopted kid if I really wanted one or possibly several years to explore the magical options for barreness-curse-breaking I WOULD BE SO FUCKING PISSED.
• Best scene of the episode was Snow being all protective and Cora being fake-sweet and Emma being like, 'yeah, I'm in an awkward co-parenting situation with the Evil Queen. You know how that that is.'
• As much as I appreciate how female-dominated the cast of Once is, I really do wish that the writers would let eye candy besides Charming live. Lancelot was hot and black and had hints at an epic, interesting backstory. Once, I wanted to see your take on the Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot triangle!
• I am sure Mulan's 'nobody gets to be bitchy or criticize Aurora except me' attitude was appreciated by the shippers.

I felt really bad for Regina for what Henry did (Lana P's voice was so perfect in that scene and it made it even more sad). What with that and now Cora trying to get to her I have a feeling she is going to have an extremely rough time of it this season.

I really wish they wouldn't have killed off Lancelot. Especially because asshats on the Once FB page are all like "I'm not racist but I'm pissed Lancelot is black in this!" Ugh. I'm not sure why Once is so dedicated to killing off its male characters but at this point I can't help but find it a little funny. :p

I actually didn't really think about how the being barren thing was another jab at adoption but hm. Although I have to say I know people who do feel like being barren would be one of the worst things ever. Of course there are a lot of options to work with if you are barren but... I think it's impossible not to feel devastated by something like that when you're someone who actually wants children. AND Snow at least wouldn't have chosen to end her barren-ness over Charming's mother's life.

And the king loved his adopted son like he was his own so I don't really take it as a jab at adoption as an option. I think it's realistic. Especially for a king to consider it a curse when having an heir means everything. ::shrugs::

Oh but I completely agree that not being able to bare children isn't a fate worse than death and I would be really pissed at my mom if she gave up her life just so I could have a kid.

Her voice was so heartbreaking.
