Let's see. . . Regina had Marian execusted in the original timeline. . . and Robin never knew it? I find that soooo hard to believe. If Regina had orginally executed Maran, Robin would have known it. There is no way in the world Regina would NOT have publically executed Marian for helping Snow White. Kitsis and Horowitz really need to clear up this matter fast.

'Regina was the strong, independent woman that was alone, but still found love while all other characters....ahem Emma....who had guys tripping over themselves to invade her character growth. However, personal thoughts aside, recently I came to an interesting issue....'

Guys were tripping up Emma's character growth? The only one who was doing that was Emma. She was responsible for her own mistakes and no one else. Just as Regina, Snow, David, Rumpel and others were responsible for their mistakes.

'The only reason I see for this relationship is to avoid SQ, and while I disagree with SQ. The writers tell us that Robin and Regina love eachother, they tell us that Hook and Emma have this "epic" love story, yet they show us that Emma and Regina has each other's back and they show us Emma sacrificing herself for Regina. '

Let me get this straight. Because Regina and Emma had managed to develop a strong friendship, some find it difficult to believe in their individual romances? Are they expected to choose between romance with other men and friendship with each other? Is that how it goes?

And by the way, Emma has sacrificed her power to save Hook's life in late Season 3. Regina tried to sacrifice her life to save Robin. And Emma was willing to resort to ugly means to prolong Hook's life by turning him into a Dark One. I guess many fans forgot about that?

And why is that so many fans are more interested in Regina paying for her past deeds, instead of any redemption for her. . . and at the same time, either pay lip service to Emma's uglier deeds or pretend that she hasn't really done anything wrong? Hell, Rumpelstiltskin has been given more excuses than Regina. And now we have fans trying to pretend that Zelena isn't really evil? Why focus only on Regina's past misdeeds? Why her?
