Season 3 Episode 19 - Curious Thing

Robin Hood: (nods) Indeed. And the missing year? Things a bit rocky between us, yeah? (He gives Regina a smile.)

Regina: (chuckles) For some reason you’re so much more likable here in Storybrooke.

Where in that piece of dialogue you figured that they fell in love with each other in that missing year? And given that, Regina and Hood, from the sounds of it, wouldn't even intentionally sought each other out. She's a queen...he's a thief... their circles don't connect. Did he live her castle?

Hmmm...I definitely can see Regina being together with Robin longer than Daniel, but that doesn't make it more genuine nor authentic considering she is with Hood because pixie dust said so. If you want to get technical, Robin Hood has been dating Marian/Zelena weeks longer than Regina, and even lived together raising Roland. So are you saying that that relationship is more real because they spent more time together?

Anyway, back to main programming, my original issue is that they chose to compare Henry's little crush to Regina's real traumatic experience of witnessing her fiancé murder. I get what they were trying to do with the "fresh first love" idea, I just thought it horrible execution.
