She is bent on punishing SW to the point that she can’t think clearly enough to save her own father from her intent, even though we just saw her rescue him from Wonderland. Guess family wasn’t more important than her own vengeance. Also, there is a void in her heart that cannot be filled, which Rumpel reiterated on when talking to Charming and which Malificent stated as well. Lastly, the comment they already think I’m nothing somehow came about between Charming’s capture and his and Snow’s wedding, because everyone was at the wedding celebrating when Regina showed up with her promise of no more happy endings. So we have yet to see what circumstances turned everything around for Snow and Charming, and how Regina was brought low.
In Regards to getting rid of Emma — I think she could have done that for 28 years, she could have gotten rid of people, but her goal is not to get rid of but to control people and their destinies to an unhappiness she can relish in, knowing she provided it. Look at what she did to poor Jefferson. Looking through his telescope at his daughter all those years, waiting. It was his curse, he said. I’m wondering if FT characters can even die without some type of magic involved. Maybe that’s why Regina can’t touch Emma.
I do think sometimes she is conflicted but when she remembers what she has set out to do, it sets her course. The goal is not to get rid of but to rule over and control the destinies of others with unhappy endings.
I agree.

New topic: I’m sorry, how dumb is Regina? ^^’
Ok, so she never learned that the child of Snow White and Prince Charming would be a daughter, yet in the Pilot Gold says to her “I would say you think you know exactly who she is.” That does suggest that she should know or at least has some clue who Emma is. And in the coming weeks/months Emma gives plenty of reason to suggest to Regina her true identity – she’s got an awful lot to do with MM and so on.
Can someone please explain to me her behavior?
It’s been a long time since the pilot but I think, when the Evil Queen stormed the castle, she demanded to know from Snow White where ‘she is’ – referring to baby Emma. i think she does know the gender of the child, the only thing she doesn’t know is her name. Only Mr. Gold/Rumpel knows the name of Charming & Snow’s child because that was the deal he made with them to ensure Emma’s safety from the curse.
