Thats true. But all the clues say that Regina and her Mother didn’t part so well. Regina saw her body. Another theory there is
is that Rumple gave Regina the power to defeat Cora again. Sort of like a team effort. What do you think of that?
But it definitely could go either way..Hahaha, mothers knowing best…lol 🙂 Take it from your Mumsy!
On your own, you won’t survive..That is a tough question. I like what you said about her being the red queen, and they might just be tricking us?
Was she ever referred to as the Queen of Hearts in ‘Hat Trick’?
I’m not completely sure though…..
I just couldn’t really imagine Cora going to wonderland through the looking glass, then setting up residence as their queen.
If she is the Cora we know, wouldn’t she be searching for a way back all that time instead of making a home there?Haha, thats a good Idea!
Maybe she turned her head too big. 😉 lol[adrotate group="5"]*SWANFIRE* keeper of Neal's dream catcher
November 29, 2012 at 8:41 pm #162871ZieraParticipantOH! Speaking of impersonator spells…
What if Regina took Cora back to Fairy Tale Land with her?
What if Cora impersonated Henry to get out, and Regina unknowingly took her through Jefferson’s hat…wait, maybe this is a stretch…lol*SWANFIRE* keeper of Neal's dream catcher
November 29, 2012 at 8:57 pm #162873GrimmsisterParticipant😀 Sometimes I wonder if the writers of OuaT secretly lurkes around in here to get good ideas for the show… and then when we sit at home watching and we see our theories comes true, we go “Yeah !… I guessed it right…”

I’m not completely sure though…..Yes. The veiled Queen was confirmed to be the Queen of Hearts. The ‘guard’ standing next to her said someting like “Stand for the Queen of Hearts” or something along those lines.

My thoughts exactly.

Thats exactly what they do! Was there ever a doubt? 😉 😀
Thats right-he did. Maybe they wouldn’t want to do that again, but, well…it worked the first time. 😛Oh, alright, thanks. 🙂
What do you think Belle is thinking about Rumples actions if she knows from the sneak peek? Just a quick little question thats a bit off-topic…lol
Well….The more we’ve been discussing this, the more I’m not so sure anymore she IS the queen of hearts. Hmmm. Confusing…lol

November 30, 2012 at 5:53 am #162944GrimmsisterParticipantBelle regarding Rumples actions. As I wrote somewhere else on the forum Belle is so heartfelt and genuin. She doesn’t want anything bad to happen to anyone. But I don’t think she will be against them using magic to keep the enemy out, they do it to keep Cora and Hook out afterall, not to hurt Emma and Snow.
Belle comes from a land of magic, so I don't think she has many prejudges against the use of it, if its for a good purpose. And in the promo she is not standing next to the well when they, we might assume, see Emma and Snow are the ones that pop up. So she can't try and stop it then. But if she where there, I think she would try and stop Rumple when she saw innocents getting caught in the crossfire.December 6, 2012 at 1:48 am #163877marilouParticipantI just want to put it out there, Cora is completely awesome and badass in my book and she needs to become the show main villain!
a power hungry witch who both our previous villain thought dead… someone give Cora more screen time please!
December 6, 2012 at 6:35 pm #163901ZieraParticipantHey, Medchen! You’re right! 😀 She is coming back in a twisted ‘compassion’ for her. Good job. 😉

December 6, 2012 at 6:50 pm #163920GrimmsisterParticipantThank you Ziera117 🙂
Wasn’t right about her not being the Queen of Hearts though, too bad 🙄Now I wonder what she is going to do too ‘help’ her daughter in Storybrook.
December 6, 2012 at 7:23 pm #163925ZieraParticipantKill Henry! Pwahahaha! And then regina will die for him. the end. lol 😉

December 17, 2012 at 9:01 am #165238playaritaParticipantWhen I began seeing more of Cora’s interactions and her comments in Queen of Hearts I kept thinking of the film Serial Mom. Cora does seem a bit happy to rip hearts out of people who do not fit the means to her ends, she has no problem trying to use what is basically domestic abuse to get Regina to conform and accept her instruction (more like commands).
Prior to obtaining magic I suspect that she was already displaying some of the characteristics we see today to a lesser degree and with the limitations of being without magic.
I know it is a stretch but I researched her name found that it was a latinized version of the Greek name Kore meaning maiden. Thinking about maiden definitely reminds of the story of the Miller’s Daughter. There is a variant called The Three Spinners where in this version the daughter where she spreads false claims about her spinning abilities. I wonder if an alternative look would be that she overestimates her abilities and becomes extremely arrogant.
I would then wonder if maybe she has a skill of charming her way out of things with words and actions. As for Rumpelstiltskin he may have asked for a first born as a means of trying to replace the space that Bae once resided. So either Cora bested him or Rumple, being prophetic, sees far into the future. He sees the darkness to come but sees the magic of true love (Snow and Charming seem to be the stronger ones–or at least continues to be. Not sure if true love can die if not nourished.) and Regina’s curse which would put him that much closer to Bae.
I sort of think that his teaching Cora and Regina was definitely part of the plan. As was nurturing the parts of their personality to fit his plan. I also do think that he realizes that Cora suffers from hubris and like the Greek origin counterpart it will be her downfall (she is in her own tragedy–a FTL tragedy). In the end not only does he best Cora in the end, punish her for her hubris, pushes Regina (Cora and Rumple) into using the dark curse and it allows Rumple to come to world that has Bae (perhaps curse has a honing device to set Storybrooke in the time and place–i.e. general area close to Bae)
