OUAT: Questions about Welcome to Storybrooke

[holdouttrout]

Yes, I know I said I wasn't really fannish about this show. Shut up.



1. Do TPTB for this show believe who we are tells what our actions will be or do they think that how we act determines who we are? That is, is Regina right that Snow is doomed, or is she still capable of choosing the right?

2. What does Regina's heart look like? Somebody grab it!

3. Is Henry (and Bae) right about magic? Is it inherently corrupting?

4. Did anyone else know the kid was the Outsider within two minutes of Regina spotting him?

5. How cool is it that Regina gave Henry exactly what he wanted (ending the immediate threat against Mary Margaret) without giving him what he really wanted (getting rid of all magic) or what he really needed (the end of the feud)?

6. What does it say about me that I actually really like this season and this show? (I keep seeing a lot of people who are fed up with Regina and her back-and-forth redemption arc, but I'm not there yet... at least, not most of the time.)

4. Yep. :-)

I liked the idea of this episode and would like to see more "early Storybrooke" if there's a good reason for it. The downside was that Henry remains, for me, annoying and terrible, so having that much of him was rough.

I liked early Storybrooke, too--I'm not sure there are that many stories to tell, though--the whole point is that it's kind of pointless, right? Except for Henry, which honestly, they really can't do TOO much with, except for maybe a story about how he learned what was really going on. And Regina, who might not be that interesting, either!
