- Is lj acting weird again? I have some icons to upload, but no luck so far. Frank is eating the wires. Hungry Frank.

- Going to watch "Mama" later. I liked the short film (creepy as hell) and I tend to love everything Del Toro with no reason. Even if the movie sucks I have three words: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

- Regina, what are you doing?

I've only watched the first sneak peek and heard a little about the Snow/Charming one. I am really, really hoping that context will put the first sneak peek into better light. The thing is, I can't fathom the whole episode being about omg look how evil Regina is, both in flashbacks (where she apparently orders the deaths of many people? though context could possibly change that) AND present time (where she's apparently gonna let everyone else in SB die). And TBH, if this wasn't OUAT, I would think right away: yeah, something else is going on, otherwise we're just going round and round in circles the entire season with no character growth. But season 2 of OUAT doesn't seem to operate on logic and cares more about plot than characters...

I do agree that Regina opening up would help because nobody knows what a fucked up childhood and adulthood she had. But with other people's attitudes to her right now in canon, I don't see why she'd be inclined to do so because in the past, every time she's opened up, she's been burned.

I don't know. I think that the promo with Evil Queen ordering the death of a small village must be at the end. When the Queen is dead and she's the Evil Queen. Or could be something else, that won't make sense, but like you said, what make sense in s2

Very true about Regina being just a 2D villain to him and that a conversation between them is very much needed. Especially this:

This year alone, Regina killed her fiance, her mother, saved Snow and Emma, lost her son and Henry doesn't know half of that.
The Cora thing frustrates me to no end. Because Henry only knows what Emma told him about the situation, that Snow was "partially responsible" for her death. Okay, so in his mind, if Snow is only partially responsible, then the rest of that "responsibility" (ie. intent to kill, in his mind) is laid down at Regina's feet. I wish 2x17 would have dealt more with the ramification of his worldview on the good guys being shaken up and how, no, the world is not black and white, Snow and Charming and Emma and Regina are not black and white. I wish Regina had explained to him that her rage and hurt in that episode was because Snow tricked her into killing her own mother.

Things would be so much different for Regina if she had a love interest as well.
Sad, but true.

I wish Henry had more scenes with Regina. Because he's acting like he hates her, but we have seen that he love...okay, cares about her so I don't know.

The extented sneak peak shows how desperate Regina is. If Henry could only just see that...
