I’m sorry but I hate when people say that Emma did the same thing to Henry. Especially from her POV. Emma put him up for adoption because she literally could not take care of that child as she was in jail. Once she got out of jail, yes she could have fought to get him back but if he was already placed in a home (and he was as he was adopted when he was 3 weeks old) she felt he had a better chance at life and love than what someone right out of jail could provide.
Emma was found on the side of a highway. That’s not being put up for adoption. That’s not even being cared for at all. Crazy people who don’t want their kids and don’t know how to take them to a hospital or church do that. From her POV she wasn’t just given away. She was abandoned. She was basically left for dead if someone hadn’t found her.
That’s a big difference.
But anyway, I don’t think she was flawed in her thinking per say. Either way, Emma was destined for a crap life. Cursed either way. But in her defense, she didn’t want to talk about it right then. The girl still needed to process everything. I think, at that point, it had been only an hour or something since the curse broke. She wanted to wait for that talk so she could clear and organize her thoughts. I think her talk with Snow was just.. a mix mosh of emotions and thoughts.
[adrotate group="5"]It was such a noticeable special effects shot I still wonder why they put it in. I don’t think it was ever explained during the season. Did they just add it for a dramatic effect to accompany the door slam or will it turn out to have some significance? I’m guessing it must be there for a reason. What does everyone else think?
Maybe it was just a visual representation that “sparks” are now going to fly with Emma coming into town?
Here is a new vid I made.. it’s about the overall show though does focus on Emma. It’s to the song What About by Carbon Leaf. I hope you check it out, leave comments, and enjoy.
I’ve mentioned before I HATE the idea of Bae being Henry’s father. But, I wouldn’t mind if Bae (never having met each other until now in S2) came to Storybrooke and had a romance with Emma.
He brought magic back to SB because he was jonesin for magic. It wasn’t for “self defense.” The guy is an addict to the stuff. He’ll never give it up. And if he ever does, it’ll be the end of his story and he’ll be “redeemed” for choosing someone over magic.
They haven’t started filming S2 yet have they? Or if so, just recently? There hasn’t been time for the actors to do the S2 promo pics yet… when they do, S2 posters will be coming out. Probably around August or something.
Like someone else said, those are S1 promo pics put together for Comic Con. I think they put Rump in there to balance it out and so that Charming wasn’t the only male on the poster.

That isn’t true. The federal drinking age is 21 for the buying of alcohol which is what Ashley did. The differences from state to state only have to do with consuming alcohol meaning in some states you can consume alcohol, but not buy it.
Who cares? She’s friends with the Sheriff.
[Emma and MM]they really did not speak to each other
Huh? They spoke to one another quite a lot. They knew a lot about each other and confided in one another. Emma knew about MM’s affair with David. Emma confided to MM about her feelings about Henry and even her feelings on her own parents. I think they were quickly becoming best friends, if they weren’t at that point already when the curse broke.
I also didn’t feel as much sympathy for her as it seemed a lot of viewers did after her speech to Henry in “A Land Without Magic” about how she really does love him, because I think once again it was more about her needs rather than Henry. Now if she at least had a little awareness that her it was her actions all along that turned him against her and not other people trying to turn him against her, I would have felt more sympathetic.
The way I felt about Regina’s speech I could never exactly pin point. But you nailed it here for me. To me, Regina’s speech about loving him was more about defense. Like “poor me! These people will say horrible things about me, but know that it’s not true and I love you!”
I don’t even think she has any regret for what she did… only regret that Henry got caught in the crossfire. I don’t think she has any remorse for what she did and how it would have affected Henry emotionally had Emma eaten it.
While I felt that scene in the hospital was slightly heartbreaking for her, it just left something to be desired. And I can understand why Henry just stared at her. He didn’t know what to make of that statement. I don’t know what to make of that statement.
She’s only sorry she lost. She’s like Rumpel.. she didn’t learn a damn thing.
Anyway, back to Regina as a mother. I’m glad there are quite a few people here who see that there’s more to being a parent than being a provider. I go on the IMDB forum and there are either people who have very different ideas of what being a good parent is than I do or just super crazy Regina fans that think she’s a wonderful person that’s only misunderstood because of an abusive mother.
And I agree with those who say that Henry turning out to be a good kid doesn’t necessarily reflect Regina’s parenting skills. Although.. and I may be overanalyzing this a bit… Henry seems to be more involved with the book and the story than the people themselves. He wants to fix the happy endings because that’s how it should be more so than actually wanting to help these people. And I think that could be a byproduct of having Regina being his main role model in life. He doesn’t connect with these people on a personal level.. something Regina I think has issues with even with her own son.
Though we don’t know how much Emma told Henry about the whole being kidnapped and drugged incident, so Henry might not even know who Jefferson is.
I doubt she told him any of that. Incredibly inappropriate of her to do so. Now, we know she isn’t exactly mother-material (by her own admission) but she is learning and even Emma would know it’d be inappropriate to tell a 10 year old how you were kidnapped and drugged, threatened, and then got into a physical fight with a guy that thinks he’s the Mad Hatter.
What purpose would she have to tell him about Jefferson? At this point, she doesn’t believe in the curse so no point in telling him “Hey I know who the Mad Hatter is!” Plus since she can’t account for the guys whereabouts, do you really think she’d want to tell her son about this guy? Knowing Henry, he might go looking for the guy. And from her experience, Jefferson isn’t beneath kidnapping so.. yeah, don’t want those two things together.
