We really appreciate it! News: Views: —————- Email points: From Marilyn Hi Jeff & Colleen, I have some random thoughts on the Lily episode and a couple of the previous episodes. Is it just me or did ONCE “jump the shark” by having Zelena magically avoiding death by turning into a green Lost-like smoke monster and going into the portal to the past? I could have sworn that it had been stated that once Zelena was stripped of her emerald necklace she lost her magic and thereby should not have been able to escape death at the hands of Rumple. Don’t get me wrong, I think the supposedly pregnant Zelena keeping Robin and Regina apart is an unexpected and entertaining plot twist. In regards to Cruella, out of curiosity I looked up the differences between a psychopath and a sociopath. It turns out that both types of personality have a pervasive pattern of disregard for the safety and rights of others. Symptoms start before age 15, so by the time a person is an adult, they are well on their way to becoming a psychopath or sociopath. Psychology researchers generally believe that psychopaths tend to be born, that it is a genetic disposition, while sociopaths tend to be made by their environment. That being said, I would think I would put Cruella in the psychopath category. I wonder if Edward and Adam might have borrowed this idea for Cruella’s background from a famous 50’s film called “The Bad Seed” in which a young innocent looking blond girl in pigtails goes around murdering people. I really liked the scene in the Lily episode where Regina talked Emma out of shooting Lily. It is great to see the character switch where Regina is now acting as the voice of reason whereas Emma is acting impulsively on her emotions now. I love Regina’s growth as a character with her resolve to try to stay on the good path. My one big disappointment so far, besides Hook not getting nearly enough screen time, is that we have not had more of Will Scarlet. Since there are not that many episodes left in this season, I sure hope that the ONCE writers correct this mistake sometime in the beginning of the next season because his character was the only reason that I stuck out watching Wonderland until it was cancelled. Take care, Marilyn ————- From Helen Loved the episode. At first and second glances, it looks as if Zalena, in the basement, is wearing a dark cuff on her left wrist that reminds me of the cuff Greg and Tamara put on Regina to stifle her magic. Could this be the same cuff keeping Zelena under control? She only had one on. It’s a dark, leather-looking cuff. What do you think? Big love, Helen ————- From Helen Hello Roneys, I had to follow up to my previous email regarding the magic cuffs. After watching “Mother” a third time with the captions, I saw that Regina did say that she put the cuff on Zalena to keep her magic under control.
