butterflyI ship Jack/Fauxmanda so hard. Please be my beautiful couple with a baby for the whole rest of the series?
Ha, I love how the Graysons blame everything Emily does on the Initiative. It makes sense from their point of view but it's so hilariously wrong.
You know, I think that it's not so much that I ship Daniel/Emily but that I ship Daniel/his-pining-over-Emily.
Nolan and Emily are perfection.
Mulan gave Aurora back her heart! (kinda sad that they might bring back Phillip, tbh)
Reunited adorableness!
Okay, now a slightly less squeeful note:
I like Regina, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in fandom who remembers all the horrible, shitty things that she has done to everyone. Yes, saving lives is awesome and may begin to build trust again but it's not going to get her automatic forgiveness and a seat at the dinner table. Charming got stabbed to death/nearly-to-death because of her invasion of the FTL castle. She sent everyone to Storybrooke specifically to make them live lives of quiet misery. She actively tried to keep the Storybrooke versions of Charming and Snow apart because of how much they loved each other and made each other happy. She tried to make Henry think he was crazy.
She has done a hell of a lot of damage and it might take time for people to get over it, forgive her, or be willing to believe that she's changed for good. In the cases of the people she's hurt the most, they might never forgive her (an example from another show would be Caroline and Damon in The Vampire Diaries -- he has saved her life more than once in recent seasons but the damage that he did to her in S1 ran deeply enough that it's possible she'll always hate him).
Even in this episode, Regina was willing to kill whoever came through the portal until Henry talked her down over it. I understand feeling bad for her when she gets all teary and lonesome. I feel bad for her. But the people she's hurt aren't obligated to invite her into their hearts and homes.
Again, I like Regina and I like the storyline that they're currently writing for her on the show. I think she's making a good faith attempt to be a better person and a better mother. But she hurt a lot of people for a really long time and if I were one of the people she'd cursed, I probably would not have invited her to dinner in this episode either.
