I hadn’t even considered the possibility that she knows the identity of the man with the lion tattoo. The way I’d like to see the story play out is they meet, she falls for him, and then she sees his tattoo and realises he’s the guy. If she knows beforehand who he is, they run the risk of the whole romance storyline feeling forced.
I agree. I’m still not 100% on RegalHood but since it’s going to happen, THIS is the way I would like it to happen.

Keeper of FelixOctober 20, 2013 at 1:15 pm #217334PheeParticipantI know some people are already feeling like, “Oh so it was pre-destined all those years ago and she knew it,” so if she knows who he is first and then falls in love with him, it’d sorta feel like she was talking herself into fulfilling an obligation, as opposed to genuinely falling in love. Even as someone who has shipped it since it was pure crack, I think it’d make the whole storyline less satisfying.
What would make the storyline fun is if we the audience are aware of who he is, but Regina has no clue. We can watch him chip away at her walls and see her reluctantly considering taking the chance of letting herself fall in love again. Then when she finally does give in, and she’s tearing his shirt off for the first time ever, she’ll see the tattoo and be all O_______O “It’s you?!”
October 20, 2013 at 1:32 pm #217336thelostpassengerParticipantI think Tink is saying that by running away, Regina denied Robin the chance to know and love his soul mate. What Tink is missing is the rest of the story: Marian and Roland. Obviously, Robin isn’t going to say that his life was ruined at all. I think that may actually be something RegalHood is going to have to work out together: Regina’s life was ruined because she chose her hatred and fear, but by doing that Robin had a good life. Sounds like fun filled TV drama to me!
I don’t know if I agree. Robin does, indeed, have Roland, and Roland clearly makes him happy, but he lost his significant other, Roland’s mother, and has had to raise him without her. If he had, instead, met Regina and had fallen in love with her, he probably would not have had any kind of relationship with Marian, and he would have Regina. I think that that is what Tink means.

True! Thing would have worked out wholly differently for both of them. BUT would Robin sacrifice having Roland–his child–in order to have had a life with Regina?? It’s a very tricky question.

Of course not, but Roland wouldn’t have existed yet, so he wouldn’t have considered that.

I sort of am. I have had the account for several months and have posted here and there since, but I am just now starting to use my account a lot more frequently. I will not be listening to the podcast anymore for reasons that are outlined in the comments at http://www.oncepodcast.com/113, but I will continue to keep in touch with fans via comments, forums, etc.

Hmmm but A) She clearly has some stalker like traits. She tracked Snow’s movements through the woods using her mirrors (she knew she “hanging” out with dwarves for instance). And really, overall, her mirrors allow her to see everything that is going on: that’s how she found Graham, she watched the Blind Witch Burn, she was obviously spying on Rumple hence him covering up the mirrors B) But she didn’t love Graham and he hasn’t been pointed out as her new soul mate. Graham was “revenge” because he betrayed her. So she took his heart and kept him in a cage, his worst fear. Would she have done the same with RH given the chance?
But, you know – this is not true. Completely.
And I think that Regina didn’t ruin Robin’s life.

I’m not sure what you mean? Which part isn’t true? I said stalker like traits, not that she was a stalker. And all the evidence I pointed to is in the show. And I don’t think she ruined Robin’s life at all. And I think Robin will tell her the exact same thing. I think Robin is grateful that Regina didn’t approach him–not because they aren’t meant to be together but because out of it came his son and his wife, both of whom he loves deeply. He will be grateful for the time he had with Marian and even more grateful for his child.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"October 20, 2013 at 3:41 pm #217387thormParticipantI mean, Graham part.
I don’t think Robin is grateful, because I don’t think that Robin was in a tavern. I think it’s trick.
