Hopefully, next season Charming will give Emma pointers on how to use it. That would be a cute bonding scene.

Emma with a sword. Rock on.

I wonder if the book explained what happened to Henry Sr., that Regina pulled out her father’s heart? Scary moment, if a child learned they were named after the father of their adopted mom – whom was killed by said adopted mom! 😯

Pre-Curse, Regina received warnings that if she continued her obsession with revenge, she would be left with a hole in her heart. She could have left and started over with her father. She could have gotten a pet. But no! I think she spent 28 years trying to fill that void regardless of these warnings: Graham and Henry being some of her attempts (there could even have been some attempts at pets in the first 17 years). In the end, Henry was probably as close as she got..

It’s not healthy! Not at all! It wasn’t until I started watching ONCE with my mom over the summer that Regina’s motherhood stood out: partly because my mom get’s livid! Mostly because of everything Elle’s already pointed out. What would she have done to Henry, had he grown up and wanted to leave Storybrooke? Or had fallen in love and wasn’t solely HERS anymore? I can see her having Archie declare him insane/unstable, and committing him before giving him up! She had to be in control of every aspect of his life and that would only have gotten more and more unstable as time progressed.

I’m not putting it beyond these creators to redeem the Evil Queen at some point: but right now I’d be shocked. The only thing that could possibly start this process would be Regina finally forgives Snow, realizing that it was a child’s mistake (and a mistake made to actually get Regina to her happily ever after). I can’t see this happening anytime soon or ever!

Regina will not be getting babysitter privileges or visitation either. I think just about every character we’ve met so far has a better chance of watching Henry than Regina or Rumpelstiltskin.

Based on season 2 spoilers,looks like Charming is going to be Henry's babysitter/defender while Snow and Emma are busy.

I had forgotten about magic coming back–now Emma will truly have no choice, not unless she either is able to get out of it, or if the task is not too dark. Even if Emma is forced, she might be able to find a loophole–Rumpelstiltskin did it himself with his deal with Regina when he promised something tragic would happen to Kathryn.

He’s a master of cleverly wording deals though, and knew exactly how Regina’s mind works, so he could choose the right words to trick her into it. Emma’s not quite that savvy.

Concerning the Blue Fairy, I don’t think she will have much power. Rumpelstiltskin does not like them, and since their magic does not react well with his, he will probably do what he can to make sure they have little to no power, and since he made the curse and the True Love potion, it might not be too hard.

Guess it’ll depend on how this returned magic works. Will those who had magic automatically get those same powers back? Or will they have to re-learn it, and if so, could people who didn’t have it before use it now?

Rumple was desperate and had no other options when he killed the dark one. It was Bae’s birthday and the soldiers were on their way to take him away. Rumple had already been through an ogre war so he knew what it was like and didn’t want the same fate for Bae.

He had another option. He could have let Bae go. That is what Bae wanted. He could have tried to run again.

Like Midnight Dreary said, what parent would willingly let their 14 year old child go off to die? It was already established in the episode that running away was no longer an option and Rumple was running out of time. The night he kills the dark one is the night before Bae’s birthday. In a way Rumple was being brave, rather than being a coward and just letting his son get taken away, Rumple went “as far as it takes” in order to protect Bae.

Agreed. I’m not a parent, but would imagine that even the biggest pacifist could be driven the violence if it was the only means of protecting the life of their child. So I don’t find it out of character at all that Rumple resorted to that in order to protect Bae from a certain death if he was dragged off to war.

Yes, I know people thought of Rumple as a coward, and he even labeled himself as one, but I actually think he was pretty brave until he became the Dark One. It took a lot of courage to run away from the war. It also took a lot of courage to carry out his plan to save Bae from having to go to war. Also, if he knows Bae really isn’t his son, but he raised him as such, I think that’s pretty brave of him to do so because he could of took the easy way out.

In my book, it’s not a cowardly act to avoid fighting in a war. That’s just good sense IMO! Pre-Dark One Rumple gets a bad wrap for being a coward, but I have a huge soft spot for him. He was a simple, peace loving man, who had had his heart broken, didn’t have much in life, but was dedicated to using what little he did have to give his son the best possible chance in life.

Emilie tweeted a new behind the scenes photo of her and Robert. 😀

YAY, cute pic! 😀 PS. I want her hair.

Edited to add that this pic confirms that we’ll be getting some Rumbelle moments in ep 4, (and the fact that it looks like she might be wearing a nightie suggests we’ll be seeing private moments with them at home, as opposed to out and about in town), and if the flashbacks are going to mirror that relationship at all, it makes me think even more that this Milha character will be Rumple’s ex.

I really hope that you are right, Elle. I mean i don’t want them to allow Henry to be alone with her. I just worry that the writers will decide to fix the relationship between Henry and Regina and i don’t really think that makes much sense in light of who she is. Like no matter what she does to redeem herself, i still don’t think Emma should let Henry hang out with her by themselves. .

[LisaFromOH]

Wow, those scenes would have a very different feel if Emma really was Emmett. It makes you sympathize with the queen more.

[elle]

I highly doubt that emma would ever leave Henry alone with Regina–she has hated Regina almost since day one of their meeting, Regina has tried countless times to force Emma out of Storybrooke, she framed her mother for murder, and with the events of the last episode (Henry eating the poison apple and all) Emma will probably attack Regina. 😀

No one in the whole Charming family will probably trust Regina alone with Henry.

[hjbau]

Honestly about the topic at hand, Emma should never allow Henry in a room with Regina alone again, after now knowing who she is and what she has done, unless it is an extreme emergency where Emma allows Regina to protect Henry because that is the best choice in a list of very bad choices and the decision has to be made quickly and Henry doesn’t want to go. I do fear that they will try and fix their relationship and i find that ridiculous in a lot of ways. Maybe when Henry is an adult he could talk to Regina again, but now it seems utterly insane to me, even if Emma becomes allies with Regina at some point, even then, it seems ridiculous to me that she would allow Regina to speak to Henry alone.

I just think if it was my kid and this was a real person, who had committed all those sort of atrocities, murdering people, ripping out their hearts, enslaving peoples minds, all of those dead kids and the blind witch, i mean the very danger that is Regina, it is not worth the risk for Emma to leave her alone with him. Like ever. Maybe as an adult he would make a different choice when it is his choice, but when it is Emma’s the answer is no freaking way.

In Price of Gold, Emma says to Henry (in regards to Ashley) “anyone who wants to be a mother should *(please avoid obscenities)* well allow to be one”. Regina wants to be a mother to Henry but Emma’s not going to allow that which is technically hypocritical of Emma. Regina did a fairly decent job raising Henry however she wasn’t meeting his emotional needs and he felt like she didn’t love him and that she only pretended to. This may not be entirely Regina’s fault, enacting the curse left a void that she would never be able to fill, so it is possible that she loves Henry as much as she is capable but it isn’t good enough. On the other hand, Regina isn’t a great mother, she will often put her own wants and needs above Henry and even when Henry gets hurt, she doesn’t care so long as she can get one up on Emma.

But Regina WAS allowed to be one, for 10 whole years. She got to give it a try. During which time, she kept an entire world enslaved, murdered Graham, tried to arrange for something bad to happen to Hansel and Gretel, tried to arrange Kathryn’s murder, framed Mary Margaret, attempted to kill Emma (but oops killed Henry instead.) and held Belle captive in the basement of the hospital.

If she really wanted to be a mother, then that’s what she should have done, instead of all that other illegal, dangerous, and harmful stuff.

Regina’s need for vengeance has now hurt Henry, mentally, emotionally and physically. The only person Regina really has to blame for no longer being Henry’s mother, is herself.

Henry’s “brattiness” is standing up for the rights of other human beings to live their own lives out from under Regina’s control, or to you know be allowed to live period. Kids these days huh? Thinking he shouldn’t be the only person in town who doesn’t have to fear being next on Regina’s “To Kill” list. I bet he thinks other people have the right to eat and stuff too.

It is a bit much to call Henry a brat–in fact, it is a bit unfair. Yes Henry hates Regina, but not without reason. 🙂

Regina obviously keeps him on a tight leash. And while I gave a small defense for her, her attitude in many episodes towards him can be seen as almost cold and the few glares she gave him when he defied her showed a spark of the Evil Queen. I don’t think she would ever hurt him intentionally (for now at least) but her actions have hurt him emotionally.

There is also the fact that she tried several times to kill his grandparents, and then took their happiness away and basked in their misery. Seperate Regina’s motivation (and despite the sympathy, I do not agree with Regina) for what she did for a moment and focus on the act itself, and how Henry views it. He sees his grandparents, he grew close with Mary Margaret, and all he wants if for them to wake up and have their happiness back. He cares for others like Jiminy and Ruby, and he saw how close Mary Margaret was to leaving Storybrooke and possible being killed. And he sees the hatred she has for Emma, and how she has gone to extremes to drive Emma away–that obession shows, even if Regina tries to hide it. He knows she killed off Graham (he felt guilt for that himself) and he seems to partly fear her wrath on others–he says it is good that Emma does not believe in the same episode, so that she won’t be next.
