Oh gosh. Two minutes of sneak peek and I can already sense some very clever writing in the episode.

Am I the only one who thinks that both hero!Regina and villain!Snow are so over the top they feel overdone and unrealistic? I mean, real!Snow was stubbornly hopeful and real!Regina was morbidly gruesome, but these two are so in-your-face with that it feels wrong.

And you know what? I think it's deliberate. It's deliberate to show how wrong this reality is, how the characters have been written by someone, instead of the writing being based on them, and how they reflect this new, wrong downright "heroes and villains" mentality. There is no free will and the characters reflect that by being a bit two-dimensional.

IF this is what the writers are going for with this episode, then they're amazing.
