No, you’re right she did say sorry. You’re right too, there is some humanity in her. Some part of her knows what she is doing is wrong, but she still does them. She knows the right thing to do, but she still does the wrong thing in order to benefit herself. What I’m saying is that there’s a point where all actions, all terrible actions, must be answered for. When I say, a point of no return, I’m also saying will she be forgiven for all the terrible things she’s done? I think there comes a point where you cross a line, Regina crossed it when she took everyone’s happiness away, when she killed two precious soul, when she tried to kill Mary Margaret. She tries to justify her actions, but her reasons are flawed. Regina is a sad woman who feels the world is cruel to her, but really, all the miserable things that happened to her, all the sadness she feels is her own doing She’s a complicated villain, but she still is a villain nonetheless regardless of what she feels afterwards. After all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Well put. I think I can go along with that. To add to this, I do not really think she knows every exact detail to all the events which brought her from there to where she is right now. I think her mother over the years had twisted her mind so much she either did not want to hear them or only heard what she wanted to. Yes, there is and should be a day of reckoning for her. Her punishment should also be the thing she lacked the most and that is to be loved and forgiven, I think then and only then will she feel worse. I can picture her eventually her crying her eyes out in front of every single Storybrooke character looking on with shock and awe.

I 2nd the above- it is what I think as well- until Regina feels true love again (but not from another, FOR another which is returned in kind) she wont be redeemed- everything she has done in her life since loosing Daniel has been about destroying others for her feeling loveless- SW has already forgiven EQ/ Regina & all EQ did is toss her words into the fire, so she has to feel true love for another again to change for the better, for me its just that cut & dried- anything else would just not be ‘enough’ to reconcile her for the crimes she’s committed against everyone else in FTL & Henry (if she REALLY loved him, she wouldnt be always trying to prevent him from seeing Emma- others have commented that Henry is Happier with Emma around & Regina reacts by trying to take that away, if she truly loved him, she’d see this & WANT him to be happy -instead she holds him back as he’s not doing what he should be doing for HER- loving her & no one else. So for me well she loves Henry in her own twisted way, its a selfish kind of love & not unconditional/true/pure love- Im sure lil sw would have repeatedly offered this kind of love to Regina, but she never received it in return)

I agree, Regina needs to feel and know what love is in order to understand her mistakes.

I think MM is going to have to fight back, as in the next episode, against Regina. Like she needs to pull a Kathryn and slap the Mayor. Hard and with a bat.

As evil as Regina has become, I can’t help but hope that by the end of the series she redeems herself and learns to love again. I guess it’s just the romantic in me. “The Stable Boy” episode made me feel so sad for her- not sorry for her, but sad for the loss of the kind heart she once had.

I agree about the redeeming and all that but first things first; I’d like to see a cat fight between Mary Margaret and Regina or a Snow White and Queen Regina one it does not nake a difference to me. Then after the cat fight, then they can all go on and have that redeeming, closure, feeling love and happy ending thing. Hey, just saying…….this will make for great television. I’ll drop everything for that….hey I’ll take the day off from work for that.

Yeah I do kind of think MM/SW does need to give EQ/Regina a piece of her mind- the whole curse EVERYONE thing just so SW cant have true love either is way to ‘big’ for SW not tell her how selfish & evil she has acted/been- she’s not a saint in this version after all 😆 .

I recently rewatched Snow Falls. When Snow and Charming are walking and Charming asks about her and the Queen after he cuts her down from the net…… Snow says yes to the question to did you keep her from getting her true love…not sure of exact quote. I can see she feels sorry for haveing done that. I can think and will say that Young Snow—-the Bailey Madison version was a spoiled brat….but the Ginnifer Goodwin isn’t so much. Remember after she took the potion to forget Charming…..when she wanted to smash the bluebird, and during the dwarf intervention…can we come to a conclusion that she sounds like a spoiled brat in that scene before Grumpy takes her back to Rumple. Even before she was kissed back into the real world by Charming there were some traces of a spoiled little girl. Something happened that made her smell the apples like say the death of her Dad King Leopold or maybe even before that that changed her from a spoiled girl to the humble girl who is the fairest of them all, that we all know and love.

I am not sure if we can really define what a spoiled brat is. I mean Snow is the Princess so some of her haughtiness may come off that way, but it is actually how she would act as a princess. Like she is the one in charge. I do think Snow feels sorry for her actions though it is unclear how much she knows about what Regina blames her for or when she learned about it.

[charming]

You are right spoiled brat is a broad term even for royality. Just take how she acted as Angry Snow, the after the potion to for get Charming Snow. You have to admit it is still her. The limits of magic I do not believe can really change anyone but use their own personality against themselves and then make them given into the magic or rather surrender themselves. That kind of change.

Snow White, like everyone, has her moments where she struggles. Even if she started out spoiled, life quickly taught her some very hard and cruel lessons early on. It’s amazing she turned out as well as she did. She was a little girl who lost her mother at a young age, had to endure a step-mother who never really loved her and tried to kill her multiple times, was doted on by her father from a young age, who was tragically taken from her as a teenager by evil Regina. Not only was she an orphan from about the age of 18 due to her evil step-mother, but she was probably framed for the murder of her beloved father.

Even when Regina sent a huntsman to tear out SW’s heart, SW wrote a letter forgiving her step-mother and apologizing for keeping her from love. When Prince Charming met SW, she was on the run for her life after nearly being assassinated by the Huntsman, who took mercy on her. She was wanted wrongfully for “murder, treason, and treachery.” Even though she acted unbecomingly as a result of taking the potion from Rumpel, he explained that when she forgot Prince Charming, she lost her heart. She isn’t really as bad as she seemed. It was the price she had to pay for the magic. It’s similar to when Regina’s love, Daniel, died in her arms. That caused Regina’s figurative heart to be crushed into a thousand pieces and for her to snap. Fortunately for SW, she still had her Prince Charming to save her from a destructive fate.
