I agree with what everyone has said and I respect their feelings towards how certain things played out...but with all the "I feel sorry for Cora/Regina."..."Why did Snow turn?"...does anyone remember that Rumple was going to die? It didn't seem like any amount of magic at that time was going to keep that character alive. So as sad as it is, we still get to watch Rumple's character grow. Now, I'm not saying that anyone was thinking about him when they where making their decisions, except for Cora, but if we want this show to go on a few more seasons it's probably gonna get shady before anyone gets a happy ending.

Cora chose to take out her heart so anything that she should have felt when it was returned is null and void. She made that decision and every other character that we love on the show has had to pay for that. Regina is a tightrope and I feel for her, I really do, but she has proven time and again that being evil is in her nature. Regardless of her mother she had a loving father and she sacrificed him for revenge so I think it's pretty safe to say that with or without her mother's unconditional love, she is capable. I also believe that heart or no heart Cora did love Regina but she loved her in that hard stern way that Kings and Queens and teachers show love. If she had married Daniel and he where killed by bandits she still would have been suceptible to wanting revenge in my opinion.

As for Snow, no offense but no one is in fairytail land anymore. This is supposed to be the real world and I'm sorry, but she has a big family that she hasn't even had a chance to know or grow with that are constantly in danger because of Cora or Regina. So as much as I feel sorry that Henry isn't giving Regina the love everyone thinks she desearves....come on! He was isolated and kept as her personal claim to love when he has a father, mother, grandmother and a grandfather that all love him completely (not counting Rumple of course, at least not yet.) and haven't even had the chance to really get to know him. In defense of my statement I will say that if it wasn't for Rumple/Regina and the curse, Henry wouldn't even be alive so.....it is what it is. I just think that snow protected her own. She shouldn't have manipulated Regina because it's not her style and she will be broken by it, but I challenge anyone to say that she did it just to do it...It had to be done for the greater good, Cora was a threat! She was a WMD and she had to be disarmed.

Anyways, I love reading everyones opinions and feelings on the show because we all love it and we shouldn't all agree. We watch it for how it makes us feel and thats the point. So sorry for the essay, but I don't have time to get on alot and I wanted to share my opinions cause I really liked the last couple of episodes. :)
