Yeah even though I understand that snow was just an ignorant child that didn’t know any better and thought she was doing the right thing, I’m team Regina on this

Heidi Elizabeth Marcum

Thank you so much for another reaction for Once Upon a Time! I really love this episode. It isn't quite one of my favorites from this season, but it is very, very close to being one. First... I will say that I'm a little frustrated by your constant mocking of Snow White. I understand that you don't like her, and that's fine that you don't. Of course I respect that, Joe. I just wish you would ease up just a little. Especially because when you are constantly going off on her as harshly and loudly as you do, you're completely missing so much of the dialogue. But with that being said, back to the episode itself... Now... Regina's grudge against Snow White is so much deeper than I really suspected, and more than Regina just blaming Snow for Daniel getting killed back when Snow was ten years old. And a lot's happened between them in the many years since then and Regina's hate towards Snow has only grown stronger. And yet her anger towards Snow isn't simply because Snow just told her secret, although we learn in this episode that it's most definitely the main factor in Regina's hate towards her, because it's what started everything. I definitely feel so badly for young Snow, because she is most certainly naive, but she also had lost her mother at such a young age and she couldn't possibly understand that Cora was so evil. Regina's anger towards her is definitely misplaced, but you also have to understand that her mother... no matter how evil she really is and how angry Regina is towards her, her mother is her mother. It's easy to be angry and to rebel against a parent, but it's not always as easy to hate a parent enough to want to kill them. Especially when they've been emotionally abused and manipulated by them their whole life. One of my overall favorite moments in this episode is between Emma and August, while they're talking on the bench in the harbor as August inspires Emma to look at her investigation from a different perspective. I just really love their dynamic and I continue to love the mystery behind who August is. I really love how he helps Emma to see her investigation in a different perspective... comparing her block to writer's block. Brilliant! Another of my favorite moments in this episode is the end scene between Regina, young Snow, and later Cora (Regina's mother), as Regina figures out how Cora knew about her and Daniel, when Snow confesses to her that she told her secret despite her promise to Regina that she wouldn't. It's a great scene brilliantly acted by not only young Snow, played by Bailee Madison, who is definitely the perfect actress to play young Snow, but especially by Lana Parrilla (Regina), who suddenly becomes completely numb to all emotion. Her acting in this moment is phenomenal, and when she's talking with her mother once Snow leaves the room as well. As for Cora... boy, is she evil because she's so good at being manipulative. If you pay close attention to Regina's relationship with her mother, then you would clearly able to see the parallels between them. A lot of what Regina has become in the years since the events from this episode's backstory, comes from the kind of woman Cora is. As for how I feel about Cora... I hate her. While she's scary as any villain can be, she's also evil and twisted enough to believe she's doing right by her own daughter. And people who believe in that way of thinking, are scary in the worst kind of ways. She makes for a good villain, but she's not one of my favorite of all the villains throughout the entire series. In fact... she I one of my least favorite villain. But in spite of that, I do love this episode because of Regina. She's just amazing all throughout this episode. Now... I really enjoy Regina's backstory a lot, as we get to know a younger and kind version of Regina, when she herself was in love with a stable boy, who was sadly murdered by Regina's own mother, which is the root cause for Regina becoming the villainess we know her to be now... the Evil Queen. It's a brilliant backstory for such a villainess we've grown to love so early on in this show. And I love seeing Regina as a kind woman. It's so good to actually get to know the reasons for the characters' like the Evil Queen, becoming villains, as well as how characters come to be heroes as well. But mostly the villains, because like Regina says to David in Storybrooke, and like Rumplestiltskin says to Charming in the Enchanted Forest... "Evil isn't born... it's made."... a line I very much love. And I love seeing how villains come to be especially because we don't have any backstory for these villains becoming who they are in any of the Disney movies, other movies, fairytales, and stories created about them before. It's one thing I especially love about Once Upon a Time, because we really learn why characters become villains and heroes too. Phenomenal! I also like Daniel's character. He is played by actor Noah Bean, who I like from other shows too. He's very kind, and I love that he was a stable boy and that back then, Regina didn't care about power or her opportunity to become the Kingdom's Queen. She loved Daniel despite him being poor. I love seeing that Regina had found True Love with him, which is why it's so tragic that Cora killed him by ripping out his heart and crushing it right in front of Regina. And this is another parallel between Regina and Cora, as we see the kind of woman Regina later becomes and see that she too eventually came to rip out hearts like her mother did to Daniel, as we see Regina do with the Huntsman, Graham back in episode seven... The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Brilliant! As for Emma being easily manipulated and her falling for Sidney's lies... which are clearly lies that she should have seen through, especially given her superpower that hasn't really come into play much lately... It is a little frustrating, or annoying that Emma would continue to fall for Sidney's lies, which he's very careful with the wording in all he says, even though as an audience to this show we know that he is lying. And I don't care much for the bit where Emma lets him offer her flowers, allowing for him to bug her office. But what bothers me more, is that we never see Emma talking to August about finding the shovel shard or the shovel which it belongs to being in Regina's garage, inside of her office or the station. We only have to assume she and August must have taken the shard to the station and spoke about it there off screen. Plus Emma had to draw up the search warrant she later served to Regina so she could legally search her garage for the shovel. With all that being said... I feel that Sidney planting a bug in Emma's office would have worked better, had we seen how Regina came to know that Emma knew about her broken shovel and why she had to move it. I appreciate the idea, even though I felt it could have been executed a little differently. Sadly... Emma blames August for telling Regina about her finding the broken shovel shard. And it's so sad, because I like August a lot and I trust in his yearning to want to help Emma. It does seem a little strange that August would think it's unfair for Emma not to believe in him fully, since Emma doesn't know him all that well, but I feel like he's sincere enough to get Emma to trust in him a little. At least enough to believe he wouldn't sabotage her investigation. However, it is understandable that she would think he might have ratted her out. And lastly... I was shocked when the revelation and twist comes in the end with Kathryn being alive after all. Which could have many meanings as to what might have happened to her and how the frame job against Snow really came about. Who exactly is behind it all and how deep into it are the characters suspected of their involvement?Gold had something to do with Kathryn's disappearance too, due to what Gold said to Emma in the station just before she discovers the bug in the flowers after she smashes the vase... he states that perhaps there still may be time for him to work a little magic. What has Gold done, or just how much does he know? Where has Kathryn been all this time? What has Regina done? I love the intrigue! Thank you so much for your reaction again!!! I am so excited for these last four episode reactions from you, from season one. These last four episodes are most definitely among my favorites throughout the season. I love them! Things are about to get so good! Until your next reactions...

I’m sorry to say that Snow and Henry never get better in the show (well, Henry is a little better in the final season actually). I never really liked David either and he doesn’t get better, but since you don’t have a problem with him, it’ll be fine for you. I’ve never liked the guy Emma teamed with this episode. 😅 Also, yes! #TeamRegina

KayGee

I was never a fan of Snow, David and Henry. They were always annoying to me. I didn't like Regina either in the beginning, but she grew on me so #TeamRegina.

Cynthia Jehl

Omg I had forgotten how annoying young Snow was... I used to be so annoyed with her scenes, the resemblance with the older actress is good but she's too annoying. I'm also team Regina even though I don't dislike Snow lol she has her moments. Also "I should have let her die on that horse" that line is so good!

Cynthia Jehl

People who don't watch the Glee reaction will be so confused with that one 🤣🤣🤣

nicole

I'm glad I binged s4 of Glee this week or I wouldn't have been able to appreciate the joke

AnniSchneider

I know I´m in the minority on this and I do understand .. no scratch that I know why Regina hates Snow or rather desides to hate Snow and not her mother but it`s unreasonable and flat right stupid to hate a little child that was not acting on any ill intent whatsoever. I do like Regina but that`s just stupid. I also quite enjoy Snow but hate David, with my very being. I definetly don`t prefer Regina over Snow, but just because I dont think Regina is a good villain, she`s just petty, emotional and annoying. And I never thought I had such a strong opinion on Reginas character, but like she loves Henry. So what was I supposed to think of a person like that.

Colleen

Snow can be annoying but she is not a bad person. She always means well. I have always been indifferent to Snow but I think you are being unfairly harsh here Joe. The only person who deserves to be blamed in this scenario is Cora. She manipulated Snow. She played on Snow's weakness. For Snow, the worst thing that can happen is to lose your mother like she did and Cora knew she felt that way so told Snow she felt like she was losing her and that she loved her and just wanted her to be happy. Snow wanted Regina to be happy and to not lose her mother so by telling her, she truly thought she was helping. She was a kid so she was young and naive and Cora played her. I don't blame Snow. Cora was then the one who actually killed Daniel. Regina's anger should really only be directed at her mother but love and heartbreak aren't always rational. I like Regina and as I said I am indifferent to Snow but Snow certainly didn't deserve anything Regina was doing to her. Her anger is misplaced.
