While I don't post my response to your previous comments, let me just briefly meddle in and make three small observations on topics 1, 2 and 3 from the Snow/MM part:

1. The peasants were not "emotionless". They were afraid of Regina.

2. I agree 100% that Snow could have toned down a lot this episode. Emma was completely entitled to the "Guys, not now." As for the part of following Emma, that was specifically to fit the episode's purpose of Emma unlocking the map. If Charming had been the one to go after her, maybe that wouldn't have happened. The title "Lost Girl" not only made a direct reference to Emma, but also to Snow back in FTL claiming she didn't even know who she was. If Snow hadn't been the one to go after her, if they hadn't talked and if Snow hadn't realized that Emma might be looking at the situation the wrong way, maybe she wouldn't have unlocked the map.

3. The Kingdom is rightfully Snow's. Not Regina's. Reginas was not even its actual Queen. She was a consort. Since Charming knew Snow had it in her to fight back, he wanted her to claim what was lawfully her. And when did he imply that he knew best because he is a man?
