I can’t imagine a reality where Neal doesn’t want to be an active participant in his child’s life. He wouldn’t pack up and move many states away where he could only see Henry on some weekend and every other holiday.
This.
[adrotate group="5"]So this is now a thing:
Once Upon a Time
Peter Pan takes on Zelena! Are you #TeamPan or #TeamZelena?
https://www.facebook.com/OnceABC/videos/983234698398691/I picked Team Pan, because Zelena killed Neal, while Pan caused Swanfire to happen.
Welcome Back @kfchimera.
Happy Birthday @RG
It’s RG’s birthday!?
Uh, here, have an all-happy Swanfire spam!

Someone snap me out of this, plz.
*slapping sense into you* There are certain feelings we feel in regards to Zelena. Anything involving heart eyes and happiness is not it!
Just remember what she did, RG!
After that last promo, this video might help Emma with the answer to her current predicament.

This is the episode I have been waiting for since season 1….the ep where I get to see baby Regina and her mother’s relationship. I am afterall, a Regina fan.
And I was kind of disappointed.
-baby Regina looked nothing like adult Regina, nor acted like her (facial expressions etc).
-Cora was too nice to baby Regina. She was abusive when she separated Regina and Zelena, then gave them both the forgetting potion, but here it came from a place of misguidance. Even though misguidance can result in abusive parenting styles, Regina’s hatred towards Snow seems to have been caused by more than just misguided parenting….until now, when we find out that even in the past Cora did love her daughter. I just don’t know what to think about Regina’s turn to the dark side anymore. I guess Regina was quite isolated and therefore had no positive influences from anyone except a kind, weak father….the very epitomy of ”kindness/love is weakness.” Perhaps it is the combination of misguided parenting AND isolation that resulted in Regina’s broken psyche.
-I am not sure that it fits that Zelena can change so easily. It took Regina months, years to become the evil queen, and then months, years to change back to her former self. This shows that 1) it takes work to come back from evil and 2) Regina’s resistance to the darkness shows her strength in character. Compare all this with Zelena. Yes, Zelena was originally good, but she descended into darkness very, very quickly, as if her darkness was strong in her all along. It should follow that returning to her former self will be more difficult and a slower process than it was for Regina.
-I am in two minds about Cora going to ”the better place” so quickly. It’s a very nice ending for her, and it sticks to theme of ”hope” but I felt that she needed to suffer much more in some way first before moving on to the better place. I just felt that she didn’t work towards her Happy Ending.
-Regina and Zelena’s relationship was fixed too quickly. Happy memories and pretty words from their mother should not erase what they have done to each other as adults, especially after what Zelena has done to Regina as an adult.
-Robin shooting a dead man. Where is our intelligent Robin Hood gone?
-The message that one person can change another person. They can help each other but not change them (which is what they were really trying to say). Another person can be the carrot, the motivation for a person’s change (like Henry was for Regina), but that change needs to come from within (like it did for Regina). Change does not happen because another person directly causes them to change.
I did like Cora apologising to both daughters though, especially to Zelena. And it was very well acted by all three ladies.
This.
I’m getting some distinctive 1980s vibes off of her–almost Ace like. The costume choices scream 80s to me…or she’s just retro?
Seriously. (Jean) jacket with applique patches? Totally Ace! She’s gotta be from the 1980s (yes, this excites me cause I’m tired of modern companions)
Thanks, now you’ve got me shipping her with Ace. Whom I was already shipping with Lady Christina.
–The love stories on this show are becoming tragically under developed with each passing season. It takes more than one walk and talk, one bike ride, one flower, one adventure to know that you’re in true love. Remember when this show used to declare that true love was rare and that’s why it must be fought for?
Okay, so, something I learned in reading discussion of a line from the season premiere of Orphan Black is that apparently there is a stereotype that lesbian relationships progress quickly. I’m wondering if the writers of this episode may have been (consciously or unconsciously) drawing upon this stereotype in writing this episode. Thoughts?
The line in question:
