SO MUCH LOVE! SO MUCH REGINA!

Said it on the other poll; I'm not crying y'all are.

I think that this is my favorite episode of the season. Like I almost cried happy tears 3 times.

When you think these writers couldn’t ruin their own show any more....well guess what?
There’s always WORSE!!!
I knew I wouldn't like this episode much just from it's title alone but hell even I, couldn't imagine how wrong I would be.

Sorry if this ruins the mood for some of you but there's honestly not enough Regina in one episode that can make me stomach any of this crappy writing anymore. I have seriously reached my limits.

Lana Parrilla (the Regina/EQ scene was the best acted scene of the entire show) once again was exceptional (this woman truly deserves all the awards) but this storyline was a total mindf*ck.

What has this show become? I refuse to believe the same minds were behind season 1.
Demoting the split Queen arc into a ploy for OQ to be together in a wish realm is a complete and utter offensive joke!

I never thought I would say this but this arc was series BIGGEST LET DOWN ever. Even bigger than the Dark Swan arc. Can you believe this?! I guess OuaT writers truly have a talent coming up with some great ideas only to resolve them in the most superficial,rushed and depth-lacking way possible.

I never really liked the idea of Regina splitting herself and reuniting the EQ/Regina was the only way this should have ended! But alas! It baffles me that the writers had EQ Regina stuck with Robin 2.0 just because they were trying to tie up the OQ story, which was fine tied up as it was to begin with when he died. It feels as if they had to cut a part of Regina to give it to a dead ship just because.

Don't get me wrong. I’m more than happy I’ll never see any version of Hood's face in Storybrooke anymore but I loathe the price to pay was half Regina. Because Regina without the EQ is not the character I fell in love with in the first place. They should have merged. This should have been the payoff.
Reuniting Regina and the Evil Queen is what this split storyline should have been and NOT a fake dude somewhere in a wish world could have his happy ending.
Keeping her split makes no sense!She is supposed to love and accept ALL OF HERSELF!

I am not happy that the EQ is no longer whole and somehow able to exist in another dimension and be considered a different person. How keeping her split in half so OQ can exist in the page 23 universe could ever make me happy? How can either of them be complete without being merged back together? That should be the act of sheer acceptance and not sending the other away to be happy elsewhere.

And to top that what makes me utter mad as a Regal Believer is the fact that they had the EQ abandon her child for some random "happy ending".
No version of Regina would ever do that!!!!!
SHE was Henry's mother just like her other half. She shares TL with Henry just like her counterpart.
The entire point of the arc in S2 was that Regina was the EQ but still capable of change specifically because she loved HER son.
That kid changed her entire life and the writers just want us to forget or erase that?
In what universe is she supposed to have her "happy ending" without her son?
I never thought I’d see any part of Regina being willingly separated from Henry. Part of season 6A was spent making it clear the EQ was his mother as much as Regina and then she just leaves him to go live in a a fake realm, created by her wish, to be with a different version of a man she was with?

F*CK THAT! F*CK EVERYTHING!
