^^ I'm aware that retcons aren't always that bad, I just felt like the whole self-hate thing didn't really for in the timeline where it was- though I don't really know where else it would go.

Though I personally still want recombinantion for Regina and EQ, the ending they gave them is still really special. I just hope the writers don't have the WR blow up in the EQ's face, and then she loses it all, because that's ruining the values and the message we got.

Now that I've slept on it and rewatched a couple scenes, I'm going to (as always for me) change my tune on this ep. While it was lacking for me in the moment, after revisiting it it's actually pretty good. Yeah, there are still faults, but the levels of emotion in this ep with Regina and the EQ are off the charts and it comes off really well. If you look past the technical details, which is really hard to do the first time you watch, it's a beautiful message and story even if it wasn't what I wanted. I mean, we've got one of the two episodes that can consistently get my crying here. (The other is Going Home) In light of that, I give the ep 8/10 now.
