Back in S1, I think Once had a great opportunity to continue as a series…back when the curse was still active. Some people predicted it’d be broken, others didn’t, but when the curse broke….it seems all of S1 just went poof! I haven’t even heard anyone call Snow White Mary Margret since S2 I think….but that’s to be expected. The curse broke which led us into S2….that whole thing was just….okay.
S3 is where the issue began! Why would you split up these two arcs? You have a Neverland and Oz arc….those should be two separate seasons which they could’ve stretched out, and answered a lot of questions that we still don’t know about those stories.
My personal opinion….3A should have been all Neverland! Then 3B should have been Storybrooke with NL flashbacks, had we had that….all of our questions would have been answered. How did Tinkerbelle end up in NL? Hook vs Pan scene we could’ve seen. How did Tink and Peter meet? Baelfire Lost Boy Days? We might even have saw Davey Jones, but now we’ll never know because they wanted to rush all of NL into eleven episodes which wasn’t enough to flesh out the story.
Same thing with Oz, the Oz Arc should have been our S4! The season premier would of course been New York Serenade, and we’d gone from there. The only difference is…Adam and Eddy would have had all summer to think over a few things concerning the Oz Arc. We never met the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Lion, no Walsh backstory of how he got to Oz, no Glinda backstory, no Wicked Witch of the East backstory, and DEFINETLY more Zelena backstory!
They would have been able to take their time with Zelena, and give her a true proper backstory! I had half a mind that Zelena fell in love with the Woodcutter who the Wicked Witch of the East killed by taking his heart, thus turning him into the Tin Man, who by the time found Zelena, she’d already been wicked. Yes, I know it sounds similar to Stable Queen story, but that would’ve been the highlight because that’s when Regina and Zelena could have really started to understand one another on a whole new, easier level. And even if they hadn’t gone with that head cannon, and went with what they gave us….I doubt if they had a whole season for Zelena…it’d make a lot more sense because they’d have a lot of room left to move around with.

Let me just say that Henry checking on Regina to see if she was alright…yeah kid…why didn’t you try that the night she was called a monster, and was walking home alone in tears? But anyway I’m confused….people get onto Regina’s case when she is being a parent to Henry, and now because she’s had her heart broken and more than likely doesn’t want Henry to see her in such a depressed/terrible/broken/vulnerable state, but then finally lets him in….that’s Regina being a parent only “when she wants to.” #AnotherExampleofNothingReginaDoesIsGoodEnough Someone please explain….
Well, I can only speak for myself, but the first thing I’d say is that Henry shouldn’t have to act like the parent in their relationship; Regina’s emotional wellbeing should not rest on her 12/13-year-old child’s shoulders. Regina is putting her needs and feelings before Henry’s when she decided that she was going to shut herself off from him and everyone else (and with a raven-sent note; she didn’t even speak with him) and clearly hurt him when she did that. It seems like Regina thinks it’s okay to be a parent only when she wants to be; is it really okay to take several days off from caring for your son because you’re feeling sad? What would she have done if she didn’t have Emma to take care of Henry during those several days?
Okay….sometimes having your child comfort you is the best medicine for a parent, specifically a mother. It’s something about their love that makes you feel a lot better, but another thing…parents never want their child to see them in a broken state because children have the impression that mom and dad can handle and take everything, and they look up to you for that. So while Henry comforting Regina would have made her feel better, she didn’t want to disappoint the son who always saw his mother as this strong superwoman/mom! Also, she was emotionally not all the way there, and knew it was best for Henry to stay with the family HE CHOSE. So a child’s love is a parent’s best medicine, but it often conflicts with us not wanting to disappoint or confuse our child who always looked up to us.
Regina’s emotional wellbeing should not rest on her 12/13-year-old child’s shoulders.
I agree x 1000000000000000000000 However, I also feel that it’s very OOC for Regina to not want Henry around. If anything Regina is an example of super clingy.
It wasn’t very OOC….the woman could only handle so much before she broke! The past two/three years has taken a toll on Regina’s mental/emotional state, and she knew that…and she knew that Henry would be taken care of. She probably didn’t think he’d take it as hard as he did considering he never showed that much concern for her lately…she thought she was doing what was best. Just as Elsa isolated herself from Anna.
And as for the super clingy comment…yeah…that sorta thing happens when you’ve lost everyone in your life. You hold on so tight because you’re scared you’re going to lose them too.

I was going to say Yensid, but there are several pictures of a cart…like one that might be involved in a drinking accident.
I didn’t even notice the cart, but the house and pen looked very similar to the one we’ve seen on David’s farm. Hm, could my theory about how the death of David’s father really went down somewhat come to fruition?
I’m going with Yen Sid

Hmmm….In a sense that maybe it…but Fate would still want Marian dead, and if she shares a heart with Robin, that would kill Robin too….so Regina may split her heart with Robin to save him. Therefore…Regina and Robin still have a happy ending because they’ll be sharing her heart.
Maybe fate decided to put Emma in the dungeon with Marian, knowing she would save her and ruin Regina’s happiness? Regina seems to think that fate is out to get her, and that Marian was a part of fate’s plan to undermine her only shot at True Love to come along since Daniel…
Then why is Fate still trying to kill Marian? First Marshamallow, now a Frozen Heart Let’s face it…it was that woman’s fate to die! And when Emma screwed it up, Fate has decided to play Final Destination with Marian, to kill her by whatever means necessary!

But after last night’s fiasco of an episode….for next week I think we’ll drop just a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit…but nothing to do too much damage. Either that or we’ll still be in the same 3.1 Ballpark.

From what I’ve seen of the promo for 4:03 I think it’s safe to say that Marian will be in a lot of trouble in this ep. However, I don’t think they’ll get rid of her that quickly, since she seems to be vital in keeping Regina and Robin separate, and I doubt they’ll want her out of the way so soon into season 4. So, I believe that Marian will be saved by Robin after her heart has frozen: by him giving her half of his heart. I know that only couples who are under the influence of True Love can do this (or so it would seem), and since Robin has declared his lack of love for Marion this would make the whole ‘sharing-a-heart’ thing seem unlikely to work, but I have a theory that the love doesn’t necessarily have to be between the couple who share the heart. What if it is Robin’s love for his son that enables him to share a heart with Marian? Because who would stand by and watch as the mother of their child died, when there was something they could do to prevent their death? Any thoughts?

I think Anna is being held captive by the Snow Queen, who is going to be a bit villainous. Maybe she removed Anna’s heart before freezing her. However, the Snow Queen kept Anna’s heart in a jar so that the freezing spell would preserve her, rather than kill her. That could be how Anna is still alive in the present day, her youth and beauty preserved and not ravaged by the passage of time. That could also be why the sound of Anna’s heartbeat was audible. While this sounds extreme and maybe even morbid, it would be in keeping with Cora and Regina, who both have a thing for collecting hearts.
All of this…BRILLIANT!!! I accept this headcannon!

To be fair, her princess training was cut off early when Regina tried to kill her, so she didn’t necessarily learn everything about ruling a kingdom before she was actually in charge (and then only for a year or two before the curse, and a year where she’s under constant threat after they go back). Her Storybrooke persona was given knowledge about being an elementary school teacher, not a mayor or electrician. So it makes sense she might not be completely ready to rule a town. But she and David ARE the people that Storybrooke runs to; they are the heirs to two kingdoms at least (Leopold’s and George’s). (Why, say, Thomas’s dad–an actual king too–doesn’t get more “HELP HELP” runs is purely a matter of who our main characters are, I think. And anyway, they ran to the Charmings for help even back in the EF.)
1. Ummm….Snow White was around 21-24 when she went on the run….the girl was too busy picking flowers and singing to birds rather than learning what it takes to run a kingdom. Elsa had all of that down pack by the time she was 21. So Regina cutting off her princess training, which should have already been completed had Snow not been so ditzy and childlike, is not really an excuse….
2. Exactly! Her Storybrooke persona is supposed to teach, not be Mayor! That is like having an electrician instead be a plumber all of a sudden….it just wouldn’t work. Hopefully Snow just goes back to teaching by the winter finale because just as 3×03 states she’s gonna be really struggling being a Mayor….
3. Ok….Storybrooke may run to David and Snow, but David and Snow always runs to who….Rumple and Regina! As we saw last night, although Snow running to Regina was a deleted scene, it still happened…..and Rumple and Regina obviously made a great team considering Rumple owns everything in SB, and Regina’s been doing a great job running SB, both for 30 years! No one makes a better team than those two!

“Keeping calm….”
I have faith that Adam and Eddy will give Regina her job back by the end of this arc….it’s just one arc.
