. “The Snow Queen definitely has her sights on Emma for a particular reasons
Yep. Adopted mother.
I’m siding with @TheWatcher on this one…..adopted mother! Perhaps the two of them had a good relationship, when The Ice Queen up and left Emma which could play a part in Emma’s earlier abandonment/trust issues. But I think the Ice Queen had a reason why she left Emma….

That’s a lot to ask of people she hurt, lied to, tried to kill, killed relatives/friends of, imprisoned, tortured, etc etc etc. Her spurts of heroism are indeed worthy of admiration, but they alone do not atone for all her evils. Redemption is a bumpy road. Obviously, reality is not much of a barrier in this world of Once and there’s no reason not to love Regina (or Rumple, whose rap-sheet is just as bad) in spite of her flaws, or even because of them. But if she were properly tried for even one of the many murders she’s committed, the death penalty would be considered quite reasonable in many real societies (and even was almost applied in her own at one point). She’s going to have to go a lot further than a few sacrificial moments of heroism and a couple of apologies to truly atone for her crimes. And I want to see that happen. I’d like to see her really earn a happy ending. She can’t earn it by taking it from someone else, though–that was always her mistake, believing that was the only way to get one.
And alas…the line never ends. Nothing never seems good enough…and if what Regina has done so far isn’t enough to get her the redemption badge, then nothing never will be. This is the exact reason Regina even wants to rewrite the book in the first place, it’s not just because of Robin, it’s because people will never let her past go, and accept her for who she is now in present day! As long as that book labels her as a villain, that’s what everyone will forever think of her as no matter what she does!

Regina lost not only her true love a second time, her mother was killed, her sister was killed, she had to give her son up more times than I can count, sacrificed her own happy ending to save the people she cursed, then lost her soul mate, her very last chance at happiness! The Villains have PAID their dues! An eye for an eye, well all of that is paid now….Storybrooke has seen them suffer for their sins! Now it’s the time to cut print and move on! Villains deserve their chance at happiness, since they’ve clearly paid a heavy price for their wrong.
Wait, really? You think everything is settled in terms of “an eye for an eye”? While I don’t think that that’s the right way to go about redemption or justice in the first place (to quote Gandhi, “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”), Regina would have to die many, many times over for that to be the case. I mean, you really think she’s made up for this?:
Or this? (The bones of the children she sent in to get the apple from the blind witch):
I could go on, obviously, but those are, as far as I recall, the largest death tolls she’s wrought in terms of sheer numbers. “An eye for an eye” would entail her being murdered as payment for every murder she’s committed, so it’s really not even close there. Okay, I had a couple more paragraphs here, but I got rid of them because that’s the crux of what I’m saying. I just don’t know how you can make up for all of that (and so much more), I guess.
Oh…yes! What Regina has done, and what she was willing to do has made up for that! It’s Oncers who have such a high expectation line such as Regina having to die over and over, makes it seem like there is nothing she can do to ever make up for what she has done! If self sacrifice won’t do it…then what’s the point in redemption anyway? Might as well go out with a bang if people will always bring up the past, and never look at the many great deeds you’ve done to try and make up for it.
The moments where Regina was willing to sacrifice her own life to save the very people she cursed/terrorized should have been where the line of redemption was halfway met! However, the moment Regina sacrificed her happy ending to save the very people she cursed/terrorized, was when the road to redemption to Evil Regals was completed! She’s paid for her sins in more ways than ANY one else! So yes…Regina made up for the massacre…which as far as we know until shown otherwise, could have been her only one.
Also….For the last time….Regina didn’t bind the children up and shove them in the Witch’s House!!! She gave them an option that they could’ve said NO to. Because believe it or not, Regina never killed children, hence why we don’t see any in that Massacre photo! Regina offered the children something they couldn’t refuse because if they had, they’d be alive today. And before anyone bring up Hansel and Gretel…nine times out of ten, Regina would have released the children had they politely declined her offer, but nooo….Gretel and Hansel had to mouth off and call Regina a “monster” after she gave them one of the highest rewarding offers. She may would have even given their father had they just asked for that, while politely declining her offer. Had those children shown any form of respect, and in a polite manner…they wouldn’t have landed where they did!
And by the way…an eye for an eye did happen to Regina, as just as she took away true loves, mother, father, siblings….her own mother, father, sibling, true love taken away twice, and now her soulmate was taken from her, not to mention she suffered being hated by her only son, So yeah…Regina paid the price for her sins! And like Ruby said….the Dark Curse took away more bad memories than good for some people, and Regina did some people a favor…hence everyone loves Storybrooke.
Oh yeah, and @Epona….just read your comment on the last page so here, watch the scene!

he issue I’m having is that I guess you can just walk through a door to get to our world from another one, and that kinda stuff bugs me because Dark Curse that took centuries of planning, but nope, you can also just walk through a door. It just takes the potency out of a thing that was the basis for the whole show.
Yes if someone can walk into our world from a door, then that makes Regina and Rumple look like pure idiots for the first curse. And then it makes Snow White and Charming look equally stupid for the second curse.
Couldn’t agree with you two more….like…The Dark Curse would be an unnecessary plot device if Adam and Eddy just make a door appear that leads to our world! The ONLY way I’d be okay with this is if Yen Sid created the doorway, and only Elizabeth Mitchell’s character knew about it. But I’d have to see a scene where Regina and Rumple just look at each other crazy.
By the way….any chance the Ice Queen may be popping up like Narissa did in Enchanted?

Snow clip….hilarious. Obviously….here we are once again trying to follow Snow White’s lead…..
Regina, if you’re somewhere in isolation, we really need you suck it up because Snow White is about to send Storybrooke to Hades!

No….I’m saying Regina intervened with what Fate was going to fix for her….Regina was in the wrong place at wrong time…had she not been there, Fate would have fixed itself. But the “Good” Regina spared Marian’s life by saving her….I think that makes up for her killing her originally. But Beware Marian, because Fate is gonna be “Final Destination” for you.
“Fate” is an excuse invoked by those who who choose to do the easy or the selfish thing instead of the hard work of changing things. Emma would be a very poor heroine indeed if she had followed that prescription.
It was prophesied….even Tinkerbelle declared it as being Destiny! So it is Fate! And screwing with Fate comes with dire consequences…consequences that Emma Swan did not care to think about before jumping to play superwoman! Consequences that Regina is going to have to yet again pay for because of Emma’s careless mistake!
