• 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 wanted to fucking slap the ever loving fuck out of Henry for asking Regina to lunch and then standing her up.

IDK, it's been *one* episode since she magicked a tree to physically restrain him, and the show deliberately paralleled it to what Cora did to Regina (and it's also how he saw Regina strangulating and threatening Charming in the previous ep.) And he's seen her physically threaten the townfolk with her magic to blackmail him into coming with her, too. She did apologize and let him go with Charming later, but Henry's a kid: it would scare the hell out of me, too, and it would definitely take more than a day of generosity and Regina trying to turn over a new leaf to get her to trust me again. I can see both sides. And I actually like that it's not going to be that easy for Regina--I think it's good for her character growth, and I think it's realistic that it's not going to be that easy...becoming a better person and earning trust and respect isn't going to happen overnight just by waving a magic want (so to speak. Heh.)

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.

It's weird how they seem to kill off all the hot guys and...let all the less-than-hot guys live? Whut? xD
