So naturally, the larger plot was going to be on the main character. Yeah but they could have had a good plot for the mian character instead of one of the most heinous examples of whitewashing I have ever seen. Regina didn't do all those awful things, it was the Evil Queen! And anyway Snow and Emma should be grateful for the suffering she caused; it made them who they are!

I go back to my earlier point about how they could have gone down two alleys and they chose neither.

And she looked even worse considering that at the same time, you had Killian taking direct responsibility for his actions eg. Robert, Belle and Liam 2 (yes I know he fucked up a little with Robert but he got there in the end). You had him put his hand up and say "Yes I did that, it was not OK and I deserve to be punished/I will make up for it in any way I can" meanwhile Regina is running around blaming her own actions on a separate entity and acting like she never did anything wrong ("the horrible mother I could have been"=HORRIBLE MOTHER YOU WERE). This arc did Regina (and Lana as an actor for that matter) no favours.
