    Snowing, and especially Snow, are full of hypocrisy. Snow only cares about herself and what she wants.

    They’re operating with the mindset that their child might not follow in their footsteps, but obviously, without a doubt, Maleficent’s child will absolutely turn out just like its mother. Hypocritical much?

    I think this all stems on their ‘oh its not a baby!’ A dragon is an animal that is inherently bad. If you operate under that assumption, you can convince yourself its a-ok.

    I think that this explains why Snow was so fatalistic in the pilot about the Dark Curse at the round table. I think that she didn’t feel that she deserved a different fate by that point. Only Blue arriving with the magical wood gave her new hope.

    Also, IRL, ‘good’ people justify actions against others all of the time by demonizing them. People justified Slavery in the US by considering black people subhuman. People don’t want to serve gay people and are writing laws to that effect today ad calling it ‘religious freedom’. And they firmly believe that they are doing good.

    In the Charming’s case, they knew it was wrong and justified it by demonizing  the dragon egg.

    Taking a potion to forget and inadvertently becoming dark is not the same thing as being born with darkness.

    No one is born with darkness. This philosophy that Snow has adopted is ludercrious and I do think she should know better. Darkness is made (as Rumple has told her and us). And she knows that. She knows Regina was pushed into darkness by her perception of what Snow did to her as a 10 yr old. But before that, Regina wasn’t even remotely dark. It was the choices.

    No it’s not. A dragon is a tool. The person wielding the tool is good or bad.

    Snowing were completely in the wrong. To take someone else’s child and put darkness into them is the most unheroic things they could’ve done.

    I’d like to point out a couple of things that would’ve made snowing realize that it was a baby instead of a dragon were they not blinded by stupid mode of parenting.

     

    1) mal said on many occasions that she was going to have a baby, not a dragon

    2) eight of their friends/ confidants were hatched from eggs (rip stealthy)

    3) mal has the ability to be human or dragon. And she stays human a good majority of the time. So 50/50 chance it’d be a baby on that point alone.

    I think any mother, when describing her offspring, wouldn’t note its species. She’d just call it her baby.

    2) eight of their friends/ confidants were hatched from eggs (rip stealthy)

    Do Snow and Charming know this?

    3) mal has the ability to be human or dragon. And she stays human a good majority of the time. So 50/50 chance it’d be a baby on that point alone.

    Nah, all we (and they) can say is “We don’t know how it works”. Though I think that’s enough reason for Snow and Charming to say “This is a bad plan; let’s leave”.

    I would have an easier time with this week’s episode if Charming went into a berserker rage at every mention of a dragon, given his introduction to the world beyond the farm.
