I also am intrigued by the idea of Regina changing history and going into the Tavern to meet Robin. If she does that, and they survive the King. Her whole past is different, potentially. No Evil Queen.

I like the idea of her getting Daniel back. He was her first love. Wouldn't that involve more time travel?

That was interesting. The contrast between the three characters was really stark. I was worried when season 4 started that they would have Regina regress, but she has been doing so well. What's really sad was that so many more important moments, specifically between Regina and Snow, have been cut so that they can bore the audience with Hook. Have you seen the deleted scenes? They were so good.

Great scenes!! It has taken 3 years, but it is so wonderful to see Henry and his Mom spending time together as a family!! I am so glad he moved back home.

Don't give up yet, the writer has been very clear that Regina will be getting more screen time. I think the second part of the season is going to be the better storylines, just like last year. I hated that they added that OUATIW character, seems like a stupid ratings stunt, but he does have ties to Robin so I think his story will be developed more. I do think Regina and Robin will share more scenes now that Marian is a popsicle :) What did you think of Henry joining Regina in her search for the author of the book? Sent you the info, what did you think of his comments?

I am guessing you saw the preview for this week's episode :) Did you see the tweet William Shatner sent the writer of Once about Regina? If not I can PM you what he said. It was pretty awesome. I disagree with you about Marian. I do agree that she isn't a character the writers care about, but I think she is around to give more background to Robin. What did you think of Regina's plan to find the writer of the storybook?

Do you think Marian will recover from being a popsicle? If she does recover I would love for one of Robin's friends to point out he isn't helping Marian by staying when he doesn't love her. She would eventually figure it out and be miserable. His pride is going to hurt both of them. My favorite scene was not with Henry or Robin, it was when Regina returned to her office and saw that horrible picture Snow had put up. She was right, that was a hideous picture. :) I liked the fact that Regina and Henry are working together on finding out who wrote the book. It ties back to the origin of the show and it rebuilds their connection as a family. It is so much more interesting then watching characters wander around the forest acting stupid. I love that unlike other characters, Regina isn't defined by a man.

LP and RC are definitely the best actors on the show. Even when I hate their character's actions, I am always impressed by their scenes. I was annoyed with Robin. I understand why he went to Regina, and I had to laugh that no one bothered to get Emma. :) I know Robin wanted to help Marian but I thought it was asking a lot for Regina to get involved. That said, I loved their final scene. LP is so amazing with little or no dialogue. When Robin said TLK didn't work because he was in love with someone else. You could see Regina processing the information and when she finally realized that he was talking about her, that smile she offers him was very sweet. Excellent moment.

It is unbelievable to me how diminished both Regina, Rumple and Belle have become this season so they can focus on such pointless characters.

I agree. Did you see It was so important to the story and to Regina's mental state at the time, but they cut it to show more of Emma and Elsa sitting in a cave. What a waste.

Honestly, it was a poor episode overall, but the final scene was fantastic. I loved the final scene. It was a nice bookmark from Season 2 when Regina told Henry she wanted him to come home because he wanted too. It finally happened. Henry is home because that is where he wants to be.

Loved that moment in the clock tower. My first choice would have been Robin, but I love that Charming helped her. One of my favorite lines in season 3 is when Charming asked what Regina did to the Wicked Witch to make her so angry. Regina's response of "Nothing, I've never even met her", and then Charming's response, "It's not personal, shocking." Loved it!! I noticed they also had the same idea about killing the mermaid on the way to Neverland. Great scene.

People that hate the character like to say she has no self awareness. That moment with Tinkerbell showed that Regina was very self aware. Your list is excellent. I noticed you left Henry out. Not a fan of their scenes? I didn't care for his interactions with her in season 2, but he had some good moments in season 3. I think our lists are very similar. I like the snark that Regina and Charming have in their scenes. If Snow were to fall off a cliff I would hope they would pair Regina and Charming, I think their chemistry is off the charts. Some of my favorite Regina scenes are with Rumple, even though he is so bad for her. If she relapses, I think he will be the one to encourage it. I like to think there is some type of bond between them, beneath all the manipulation and betrayal. Robin and Regina are very good match. I loved them fighting back in the Enchanted Forest. I agree with you about the chemistry between Regina and The Mad Hatter, they were always fun to watch. I think he might have been at one point, her only friend. No, what did they say?

The Charmings may pretend to be "heroes" but they are far from blameless. How did Regina choose to have Daniel killed? How did Regina choose to kill her mother?

Tinkerbell and Regina were fun to watch. It was nice to see someone genuinely interested in a friendship with Regina. I loved when Tinkerbell met Robin and started talking too much, Regina elbowed her. I thought it was a cute moment between the friends. Totally agree with you about the Charmings. I keep hoping Regina would keep a safe distance from them, because they always find a way to ruin her life. What did you think of Zelena and her connection to Regina? Did you like how that storyline was resolved?
