Exactly–there was a line in LOST–you come into a man’s home, don’t you expect him to defend himself or something like that. Especially if the JR just slammed into a pack (school?) of mermaids and hit some of them. Why is there a general sense that mermaids cannot be trusted? Hook,Rumple, and Regina echo that but Regina makes an exception for Ariel.
Also plot armor for Ariel–why didn’t Regina kill Ariel? For game players out there, is concentration like a resource bar so she had only enough enough power to attack Snow until she regenerated more? Was her neck snap on cooldown?
Something obviously not true for Regina….couldn’t find a funnier picture but I know they are out there…they just seem to involve profanity…
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
