Once Upon a Time "The Queen is Dead", "The Miller's Daughter" and "Welcome to Storybrooke"

Well, I’m going to make this a three-in-one considering I’ve been away for a few weeks and this trio of episodes actually worked very well together as a sort of mini-trilogy set in the middle of the show. They focused on three of our main female characters: Snow White, Cora and Regina and gave us our first look at Snow White’s mother Eva.

And so watching Snow White raked with guilt over the killing of Cora got on my nerves.

I find your opinion very disturbing. You seemed to think that Cora and Regina's own moral compass was an excuse for Snow White to engage in her own lapse. What you're advocating is revenge, due to the victim's moral compass. And that's chicken shit to me. It wasn't about Cora's lack of morality or Regina's. Snow White did not have an excuse. Instead of turning the other cheek or allowing someone else to take out Cora and save the town, she cursed Cora's heart and manipulated Regina into shoving that heart into Cora's body with malice aforethought and out of revenge. She gave in to evil and Cora's moral compass WILL NEVER change or excuse what she did.

All Snow White did was sink to Regina and Cora's level. That's all.

You summed a lot of my feelings

I'm rewatching the seasons and I remembered how much I hated all of the Snow angst in this story line. I do think it's ridiculous that they try to make us forgive Regina while vilifying Snow. I also think they forget their own story. They act as if Snow has never killed anyone before, but I would be willing to bet that she has a really high body count in FTL. A high body count that wasn't always in self-defence against "evil people".

I also think that Mary Margaret and David are rather sanctimonius and selfish often and this also evident in this story arc. Let's not even talk about how unsympathetic Regina is, blaming all of her problems on a child, instead of placing blame where it actually belonged.
