been thinking about the Cora debate (minor debate, here.  debate-lette, if you will). was she or wasn't sympathetic?

the word that i keep coming back to is actually PATHetic, rather than sympathetic. she cannot get out of her own way. no one doubts that despite her selfish, power-seeking ways, she loves regina. even if it comes out skewed. she loves her. i beleive it. BUT.......why why why does she still have to resort to cruel tactics to get results and to show love to her daughter? "Hey Regina, I love you so much that I have arranged for you to leave....BUT I have to do this awful thing to your father.  You decide." And then it's all a ploy for Hades in the end? Unless I'm reading this wrong. (The baby was crying during the last few minutes of the episode last night, so I know I have to re-watch later.)

I think Regina being re-dressed as a miller-girl IS just desserts, as ChocolateEyes said above. She's not a nice lady. And she loves, but it can't make up for everything.

Just some thoughts this morning...
