The Dark One is the most powerful wizard of all. Besides, Maleficent really isn't all that strong. She can shape-shift, control animals, and cast a curse. Nothing Regina(who is an average-level witch) can't. She's probably a bit stronger, but doubtfully by much."

I think that Regina is more than average-level. In Neverland, she and Rumple talked about being the two most powerful in all the realms. I know that Zelena came along after, but I think Regina is more powerful than the three coming to town.

I really enjoyed the episode. I thought it was the best of the season so far! I loved all of the depth. The goodbyes were great and horrible at the same time. It served the purpose of making me excited about the second half of the season.

Regina/Robin Hood was tough to watch. Lana Parrilla is so great. She kills every scene, but last night, she really blew me away. At no point though, did I believe that they were done. It was sad. It was well-played. I am really hoping that Regina and the Storybrooke crew leave and head to NYC. I think that would be an interesting road trip. I think the writers are just buying some time for additional angst, but they will definitely end up together.

Rumbelle. Gosh, that scene broke my heart again. I'm really glad Belle exited her blissful ignornace into the land of the living.

My two favorite scenes were: 1. Regina and Rumple talking in the car. 2. Regina and Emma drinking.
