Regina and Daniel actually had things in common and her relationship makes sense. They shared their love of horses. Daniel fought for the relationship and was willing to run away with her.

The young Regina may have been with Hood in the Enchanted Forest, but there is absolutely no reason I can buy her being with Hood. Mayor Mills, Regina Mills, is a woman of class.

She wears heels in the forest. Do you think she will muck it up in the woods? A woman that wear Jimmy Choos. A woman that never has cared about the poor. A woman that laughed and had executed Marian executed. In the missing year, Regina said that Hood was "someone that bathe in the river and used pinecones for money." This women reeks classism, which is pretty antithetical to the classic forklore of Robin Hood. Past pixie dust, there is no reason that a woman would be with Hood other than having low self-esteem because she feels that she doesn't deserve anything better because of her evil deeds and in is love with the idea of having a true love because love keeps slipping her grass.

I love Regina Mills, I just want more for her than some homeless, jobless man that can barely shoot correctly, uses her credit card to pay for meals at Granny, knocked up her sister (he sure did got over Regina quickly within six weeks) and bonus points, she has to play the stepmother card again. Yep, so basically what this story is saying, Regina had to kill her competition to be in a relationship. No good lol. I just can't buy into Outlaw Queen has it had been established. FYI, Sean Maguire recently had an interview that he was signed on originally for 5 episodes. It really should have stayed that way.

Back to the topic of Dreamcatchers, Regina and Emma are the ones that truly have a thorough history that was CLEARLY shown on screen. That is why when Emma said, "We have been through so much," we as the audience can remember all of the instances of their relationship back from Season 1 and can see how far they came. It didn't happen "off screen", we don't have to make guesses as to "what happened." They are truly the ones that went from outright enemies, to reluctant allies, to being friends, to actually having real conflicts. They actually argued and they have worked together as a team. That is not some artificial crap that is "told" to us. Now, that relationship doesn't have its fault, some things are written badly, but nothing can scathe the touch of OUAT writers, lol.
