I do agree that the writers have a long way to go before making sense of this plot. I'm excited to see how they hash it out, though. I think I have a hard time being objective about Regina because I am a sucker for a redemption arc for a villian. Snow and Regina do share similarities, and they have certainly handled things differently. Maybe part of her negativity is in part to the way in which Cora raised her, in comparison to Snow's early childhood. Or, perhaps, Regina really does seek out someone to blame for everything. I would say her inability to be happy is a combination of outside influences and also her natural tendency to feel hopeless/look for who is to blame. Mostly, it is a very sad story when you stop to think about it.
