    Gee, Tinkerbell, do you think you could have worked a little harder on this one?  Searching for Regina’s true love, she sets her up with the angry widower of a woman she intended to slaughter.  Surely nothing could go wrong.

    BTW, I loved Regina’s outrage with Emma about the “consequences of her actions”.  Where I’m sitting, everything worked out okay. Emma saved a life (albeit, probably with a concussion), Marian was reunited with her family. Robin and Roland get Marian back.  Even some good consequences for Regina.  She has the blood of one less person on her hands. The only bad “consequence” is that Regina loses her love.  But you know what?  That’s the consequence of REGINA’s actions.  You spend your life murdering people, and it’s going to come around to bite you in the ass.  As far as consequences to bloodthirsty tyrants, Regina is getting off easy.

    If Emma hadn’t saved Marian, and Robin found out Regina had her beheaded that wouldn ‘t have been good news either. I think somehow, Regina and Robin will end up together, but there will be lots of obstacles just like the other relationships on the show. They are soul mates, but the timing isn ‘t right yet.  When Tinkerbell led Regina to Robin the first time, he probably hadn’t met Marian yet.  Tink was right about one thing: Regina was ruining her own life by choosing to give into her vengeance .

    I think Regina first saw Robin at the tavern before he met Marian.

    While I agree it wasn’t fair for Regina to lash out at Emma, I don’t think Emma’s actions were totally above reproach. For starters, rushing in to the site of the portal was just dumb. She didn’t even have her magic then so what did she think she could accomplish; and she couldn’t spend maybe 5 minutes calling David back to find out more about the situation?

    And was kidnapping Marian and pulling her through the portal really the right thing to do? It was Emma’s mess to fix, why did Marian have to pay the consequences? What if Marian’s family hadn’t been Robin or even in Storybrooke, then she would have been parted from them forever.

    I don’t think Emma’s character is able to leave someone behind in prison to be murdered.  Maybe theoretically it was the wrong thing to do.  But it wouldn’t be Emma-like to leave her there to be executed.

    I am not referring to that. I agree that saving Marian would have been the right thing to do. It is what happened after Emma rescued her. Marian didn’t want to leave with them so they knocked her out and forced her to come with them. Yes, leaving her behind may have disrupted the timeline. But it wasn’t Marian’s cross to bear, by forcing her to come with them, Emma was making Marian pay for the mess she created.

    How can you call Tinkerbell a bad Fairy??? she did everything she could to make regina find her love and happiness. And she couldn’t know that the dust would show them a guy that finds a woman and has a kid, years after regina refused to meet him! none of that was Tinks fault. she even had to give up her wings and go to neverland. How does that make her a bad fairy?

    Emma is a bit of a bull in the China shop.

    Real life love is easier than this story.  What actual good did magic do?  I can understand horrible ironic twists as the price of black magic.  (As in unintended consequences of the wishes from a genie).  But this was supposed to be white magic, with fairy dust.  Really, what did magical intervention actually do that was any different from the sloppiness and heartache of real-life love?

    I think MARIAN will walk into the street and get run over by a truck … after all she has never seen one before.
