Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-24674051-20150420171129

Ok, there have been comments in several threads relating to the news of Zelena impersonating Marian, and why there are problems reconciling events since the beginning of the season.

I am starting this thread as a repository for discussion on what plot holes people think there are, or why it may not be a plot hole. In other words, open debate.

I'll start with one observation. People have been questioning that If Zelena was Marian, why did she not take certain magical actions to protect herself. For example, when Marshmallow stomped through the woods and almost stomped her flat, why didn't "Marian" just poof out of the way (or fireblast the snowman). I've given that one some thought, and it occurs to me that one of the effects of a Glamour spell is it prevents the user from using magic. Back in Season 1 (or was it 2), when Regina had Rumple cast the glamour spell, he reminded Regina that she would not be capable of using Magic while in the glamoured form. I think that is also what prevented Zelena from taking magical action. And she was not ready to drop her disguise yet, (for fear that someone might see her), so she was, at that moment in time, helpless.

Just a thought.
