    She is rotten to the core. Did you see how she treated her father?!

    to be fair to her, he looked like the stereotypical drunk. “I, for one, would like to EAT this week” suggests that father’s alcoholism has cost the miller’s family dearly in the past. I grew up in that kind of family and her behaviour, yelling at him and throwing away his booze, is fairly tame.

    I think in light of the shimmery invisible boundary we saw on the edges of Storybrooke in the flashback episode, that they did just pop through into SB from the outside world.

    Still hanging out to see how Hook gets back from New York.

    On the commentary for the season 1 dvd, in the episode where MM and David end up in the wood cabin in the rain, she was talking about getting a “Jewfro” when her hair gets rained on – goes all frizzy. It made me laugh 🙂 She’s such a cutie.

    he has been hypersensitized to lies from his mother by his experience with Regina. She lied to him about the curse for his entire life and made him question his own sanity for years. The only person he could turn to explain a confusing world, his mother, lied to him and only added to that confusion. Then, he found Emma and assumed she would be the perfect mother – the opposite of Regina.

    Exactly. He carries on about Emma’s lies because he put her on a pedestal. Regina is mad. Regina is the Evil Queen. Regina lied to me all these years. Regina tore the Enchanted Forest apart. Regina destroyed lives. My mum wouldn’t do that. My real mum would be nice. My real mum would never lie. My mum would be a hero. And so it goes…. he is ten or eleven after all. Things are very black and white at that age.

    Wow. Another great episode.

    Regina going through mourning – great acting. She is a nonce, but she’s a nonce in pain. Why is she a nonce? Because she’s so dumb. My mum is dead and I know it’s manipulative Rumplestiltskin’s fault but I’ll just add it to the list of reasons I want Snow White dead. What’s that? Strange folk in town? Gee I better act like the craziest mayor ever seen and demand they leave my kingdom…. oops, township, immediately. Cute boy manages to break my ice cold heart? Wow. I’d better try to kidnap him!

    But I don’t mind that Regina is a moron. It explains a lot about her character – she looks to magic for the answer for everything, much like Rumple did. But he learned from his mistakes – sort of. And is learning more now. She hasn’t. She cast the most epic curse ever, and was bored with it within 3 days. She scares off everyone by being nuts and throwing her magic around to get her own way and then complains that no one likes her. She plans to trap Henry with fake affection by casting a curse that will kill his grandmother, knowing that he would never forgive her for it. She just does not get it. She hasn’t worked out that magic comes with a price – she keeps thinking that she can beat it.

    Emma’s reaction to Neal’s parenting flunk – “he’s YOUR son!” Hilarious!

    Nice that there is a point to Greg now.

    So Storybrooke was invisible to the rest of the world…. interesting. Is it the same now? No one has stepped outside (and remembered to look!) and remembered.

    Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. Carry on. 😛

    So glad you did, or I would’ve 🙂

    Does Disney/ABC have the rights to the Narnia franchise? I don’t think they do. Don’t think Walden (the company releasing the big block buster Narnia films) is a subsidiary of Disney at all.

    The introduction of Mulan’s country showed that the Enchanted Forest world didn’t just have the Euro-centric fairy tales. So it does beg the question – should we be worried about worlds or lands?
