AYRT

I've never really felt bad for Cora, but that was mostly because I've been too busy watching her with delighted awe, admiration, and stunned horror. She's just so stunning. I think I disagree with you a little bit, I think she did understand love when she ripped her heart out, she knew exactly what Rumple made her feel, and that's why she ripped it out. Because while she may have understood what she was feeling perfectly, what she didn't understand was how that feeling might have value in a world where loving someone got you shit on more often than not (and really, given the way love normally goes on this show, she may have had a point). It wasn't that she didn't deeply, truly love him, or that she didn't know she loved him, it was that she ruthlessly weighed that love against the world she found herself in, and found it too dangerous to allow.

And while with many characters that might make me feel sorry for them, with Cora most of what I feel is more a stunned admiration for the sheer, impossible nerve of her, to rip out her own beating heart because she believed it made her too frail to survive. She's just ... She's strength personified, in one of its darkest and most terrible facets, and I madly adore her for it. There's pity there, because she is so terribly tragic, but mostly it's admiration.

Er. Whatever that may say about me.

Milah, though, yes, I do feel sorry for her. A lot. To a large extent, it wasn't Rumple's fault, I know it wasn't, but the situation after he came back from the Ogre Wars was basically poisonous for the both of them, and Bae as well really. I don't blame Milah at all for needing to escape, though I do blame her for the way she chose to go about it. I do realise, though, that she didn't have a lot of options either, given that this is 300 years in the Enchanted Forest's past and it's not good with women's rights now, let alone then, and given that she knew Rumple would never leave Bae, but the deception in letting him think Hook had stolen her to rape her was ... That was not her finest moment, not by a long shot. Still, though, she didn't deserve her end. I get why Rumple did it, and he wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders when it happened, but honey babe, she did nothing that was worth murder.

I think I would call Belle emotionally broken, if mostly because while she keeps trying to come back from it, the show never gives her more than maybe a day at a time to actually succeed before it does something else horrible to her. She may yet come back though, I'll give her that. Ruby and Snow, though, you have a point. Though Snow's being tested right now as well ...

Yes, this show is so messed up. It really, really is, but I adore it too, and will be waiting eagerly for the next episodes. Though, yes, while imminent doom will probably still happen, I am hoping they'll tone down the soap opera a little bit. I think we've already met most of the incredibly shitty parents available, so hopefully that will be the case?

They better not kill Neal, though. Rumple and Emma are most of my reasons for watching by this stage, and for the love of gods they need to catch a break, the pair of them. Also Charming. Him and Snow need one break, seriously, is that so much to ask?

Oi. This show plays with my emotions so much. And clumsily, too.

I doubt you'll see this, but unfortunately, we haven't met all the possible horrible parents. Hook's haven't shown up yet, Blackbeard is going to show up in Hook's centric episode and is a handsome black haired blue-eyed guy roughly 20 years Hook's senior. Make of that what you will. I suspect the writers of attempting to further redeem Hook via OUAT's favorite plot device: "If you think I'm bad, wait until you meet my parents." It won't work for me; the actor who plays Hook is amazingly talented and completely sold me on being a ruthless bullying bastard in season 2, so I don't buy his season 3 heroic streak.

Plus the Wicked Witch is being promoted all to hell as 'related to someone on the show.' So Henry, probably, although spoilers have her as Regina's twin sister, which makes me fear they've retconned Cora not bearing Rumple's children and makes me want to scream that humans can't do the whole "pregnant with two kids by two different fathers at the same time" thing that seems to imply happened. Which, if it happens anyway, can be handwaved with 'because magic, that's why.'
