THE CRICKET GAME : FAVORITE AND LEAST FAVORITE MOMENTS

[elle]

She only crossed the line after she thought Regina had killed Archie and after she had been flung back by magic. The whole episode she spent trying to give Regina a chance. She invited her to the party. She apologized for her comment, and commented highly on Regina trying. When everyone else was willing to believe Regina had killed Archie, Emma stood up for her. She said herself that everyone deserves a chance. That she would not have ended up very well if she had not been given the chance. She was giving Regina her chance.

It was Cora in the end. She was able to come up with a good way of framing Regina for the crime. Emma was just doing what she had to–to find justice for Archie’s death and keep the town safe.

Except for Henry’s Regina’s son too and it’s not Emma’s right to delve on. Forbidding her to see Henry was simply not something she could make decisions or ‘give chance’ on.
I honestly keep wondering when did that happen that it’s Emma who’s to make decisions whether Regina can see Henry or not. Nothing changes a fact that Regina has been a mother to Henry for 10 years, whether she’s an evil queen or not.
Even mothers in prison are often allowed to see their kids or even raised them there.

I do agree that it was harsh of Emma to do what she did–Regina is also Henry’s son. But Henry himself sought out Regina because he was unhappy and because he wanted to break the curse and save everyone. Regina herself admitted that she wasn’t capable of love for a very long time. I think Emma was still afraid for Henry–Regina has unintentionally poisoned him once due to her rage. She feared his life would be endangered again.

Regina did sort of let Henry go in We Are Both. She realized that the way she was raising Henry was not right and she wanted to show him that she could change.

I think that–if Cora had not showed up–Regina and Emma would have reached the point of both of them being in Henry’s life. He loves both of them and cannot be without the other. And Emma was certainly making the effort before Cora showed up, and so did Regina. Both of them were trying to be civil and polite, even getting close to friendly with each other.

Favorate moment
Hook: Who did you kill then?
Cora: How should I know I’m new in town!
Classic, very funny!
Least favorate- I don’t know today’s episode didn’t really capture my attention so I can’t realy say.

Regina has some legitimate concerns about loosing HENRY to Emma, as an adoptive parent she must be terrified. I do think she set herself up for some of this because she tried to control Henry and create doubt in himself.

What the writers have not ventured into was the adoption legitimate? Yes Emma gave him up for adoption; but how did Henry end up in SB? I have been reading / hearing a lot of bloggers/ tumblers / pdC that do not like the thought of adoptive parents being challenged… Adoptive parents worse fear.

I personally feel that both Emma and Regina need to put differences aside and do what is best for him. Henry loves them both and can not be divided and should not be put into the middle… HEART ACHE will result from that course of action.

I agree. Both of them cannot let go of their dislike. But Cora did ruin things for them–they were close to getting along and have a stable, tolerable relationship. I really hope that Cora is revealed to be the one responsible for all that has happened soon.

I have plenty of doubts the adoption of Henry was a normal, legal adoption process. Single parents are not high on any adaption list, the chance that Regina would have gotten a 3 weeks old baby in any all legal way is close to zero. Doubt if checked by our (real) world laws, by authorities from our world, this adoption would uphold.

Morally: Neither Regina nor Emma are good mothers depending on point of view and who you might feel more sympathy for. Right, Regina took care of Henry in his first ten years, and she is quite sure convinced, she did love him all the time, although she has sometimes a bit of a twisted understanding of what love means (no surprise with such a mother like Cora), but can have some doubts about her motives to adopt a kid in the first place. Emma gave Henry up for adoption convinced she couldn’t take care of him, trusting a system more than herself, but she has feelings for him, she does care about him and now wants to take up the task. But more important than how Emma or Regina feel about is to me, how Henry feels about it and sees it, he is the one to be asked and be considered, he comes first. And looks very much like Henry does look at Emma as his mother, but as well does see that Regina despite all did take care of him and calls her mother as well. Not sure, what he will call her now, how his feelings will be after the news of Archie’s supposed, but still.

I personally feel that both Emma and Regina need to put differences aside and do what is best for him. Henry loves them both and can not be divided and should not be put into the middle… HEART ACHE will result from that course of action.

Agreed. But it’s fiction, drama, so don’t exepect that any time soon to happen.

Are we really going to try to compare this adoption to a real life situation? Seriously, we are talking about the Evil Queen adopting Snow White’s grandson. Somehow, I don’t think real life adoption rules and regulations come into play here. It’s a fantasy show and not meant to be taken so seriously. Because it’s fantasy, real world rules just don’t apply. You simply can’t compare real life adoption or fostering situations to this at all. We’ve got the Evil Queen, who murdered Snow’s father, murdered her own father, tried and thought she successfully murdered her mother, murdered countless others throughout the years, murdered Graham, nearly murdered Henry, and we’ve got people rallying for her saying how dare Emma assume she’s got no parental rights? Seriously? 😆

Are we really willing to forget mommy dearest’s baking activities that landed her adoptive son in the hospital, at death’s door? I think any rights were long done after that shinning moment of motherhood.

Emma tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. Emma reached out on Henry’s behalf. Emma saw the vision of her chocking the life out of yet another victim and said enough was enough! Ever think that perhaps Emma instinctively knew that what she was seeing was her own vision due to her own magic thus the vision could be trusted? Emma, Snow, Charming, and the others, don’t have the benefit of seeing what the viewers do.

I want to see Reggie redeemed. Lana continues to floor me with the depths of her performances. We go from feeling so sorry for her as Reggie, to hating her as EQ, back to feeling so heartbroken for her as Reggie.

In the end, it’s all make believe. I can’t put any weight into whether they are following appropriate adoption laws when I see the Queen of Hearts, standing by an invisible ship, alongside Captain Hook and turning a man into a fish. Fantasy.

Your argument is INVALID. At no point Regina meant the turnover for Henry and you’re making it sound as if she purposely poisoned her own son. If you state this as a bad example of motherhood, I may equally say that Emma is to be blamed too for letting Henry eat it in the first place. That’s how little sense it makes.

Now I can’t help it and think of all the paper work they normally would have to do to get permissions to do magic in real world if this were any real. 🙄 😆

Regina endangered Henry. She might not have planned for him to get in harms way, but she could have very well considered, that Emma could get the idea to share it with Henry when parting for example. Emma on the other hand didn’t know and at that point wouldn’t have guessed, that the turnover was poisoned – so what is she to blame for?For not believing and not knowing?
