Emma's 'not-so-observant' skills

Yeah definitely. I mean she had no idea the game they were playing and what Regina was actually doing. I mean it puts a whole different spin on what Regina was doing and what happened now that Emma knows.

That is one of the things I'm looking forward to. A lot of bashing had been brought on Emma (and some of it is understandable) but most of it is due that she does not know what kind of environment she is in--the reason why Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin and Regina/Evil Queen are the ones in control. Granted, I don't think Emma is going to have an easy time--she has a lot to learn, and she may need to make a few allies other than her parents, the dwarfs, Red, etc. But I really think she's already taken a great step in believing, though I also can't help but think she will resist her role somewhat.

I think so too. I think that it is going to be difficult for her to come to grips with what is going on and, yeah, just to learn about it all. I am glad because that will maybe let us get to know a bit more about what everyone thinks about what was going on with the past and everything.

It is so true that Emma was just not on equal footing with Regina and Rumpel last season because she didn't know who they were and they knew who she was so that created such a disadvantage for her. And now that she knows that this is the evil queen who has a real vendetta against her and her family then that really will help her i think. I mean i don't think Emma could have been so easily tricked by Sidney if she had known what kind of woman the evil queen was really.

I can't wait.
