thank you for your considered and well-thought reply.
yeah, I thought the "this land is the fairest of them all" was both a nod to the fairytale, but also to when the Queen was at the fire with those other fairytale badguys, and she was asked if they would all be happy in the new world.
>I really don't think she would destroy the town I agree. For one thing, if Gold can't cross that line...
>It's sad, really. *nods* its like she said to Henry - that she hasn't known love for a long time. (and as I said in another post, that was pretty much just from her dad)
...its not an excuse -- its an explanation.
*has an idea* wait...Cora was Rumplestiltskin's wife...who ran away from a coward husband; she then learned magic, then met Regina's father.
>the Miller's Daughter I need to find that story. I only know the tale of the Miller's son - (taken by the Nixie of the Millpond)
>I suspect it's going to end up being a lot more complicated than that... entirely possible

Ooh yes, good catch. I didn't even think of that. I do think though, that for Regina, she see's our world as better for her and happier for her than in Fairytale land, which I think says a lot about her backstory and is actually kind of sad.
I agree. For one thing, if Gold can't cross that line... Ha! Yes true. I don't think she'd want to anyway, not unless she had to to get to Henry...
that was pretty much just from her dad Well that makes sense because from what I've picked up, Daniel and her dad was the only people she's ever really loved until Henry.
.Cora was Rumplestiltskin's wife...who ran away from a coward husband; she then learned magic, then met Regina's father. hmm maybe? But I'm not so sure I think there's a lot more to that story. I'm looking forward to it being

been thinking it over lately....perhaps the mirror didn't send Cora to Wonderland - perhaps the "annoyingly specific land" was the Netherland which is afflicting Henry and Aurora?
(or its our world...a world without magic would be a pretty effective punishment for someone who relies heavily on magic) ; Cora would be a guinea pig for him - if she can survive, then Rumpelstiltskin knows he has a chance)
Hmmm it's an interesting idea but I'm not so sure. The netherland seems like it's pretty hard to get to and I think it's a different thing. Also I dont' know if it would be possible to get there through a portal. It didn't sound that way when Gold was explaining it to Regina and Henry.
If he sent her to our world how did she end up stuck in what remains of FTL? Also there are other lands without magic I think - Doctor Whale's for example.
Anyway I still think it's more likely she was sent to Wonderland - there are too many little clues about that I think - the looking glass, the thing with the hearts, the fact that the Queen of Hearts had Regina's dad captive and Regina said they had a long history... All of that points to Cora being the Queen of Hearts. I'm hoping we'll find out more about Cora soon, I'm curious.
>If he sent her to our world how did she end up stuck in what remains of FTL? to quote from the Babylon Five movie, "but in our haste to leave, we forgot that a door may swing both ways." (I love that line)
...basically, if she was in our world, then Cora was returned to FTL - deliberately or accidentally - when everyone else was moved to Storybrooke.
> Also there are other lands without magic I think - Doctor Whale's for example. I thought I heard someone onscreen say there has to be at least a littttttle magic in a land, in order for the hat to make a connection.
>the fact that the Queen of Hearts had Regina's dad captive good point
