1x09 - True North

The fresh blanket of snow found a sparkling crystalline appearance under the moonbeams that seeped through the 나무, 트리 branches. It was dark.
Silent.     
Eerie.

Regina dug her hands into the snow, face twisted into a pained grimace. She was panting heavily (each exhale releasing a new trail of smoke) trying to regain control…mostly over her breathing.

Every bone in her body groaned when she moved. Every muscle straining and screeching…particularly her abs. She dragged herself along the ground seeking out the nearest 나무, 트리 to lean against. Breathing was becoming an agony...

First and foremost Regina has done so much 더 많이 good than he has. Regina spent 2 seasons working at redemption and I think it paid off whereas Rumple is still lying through his teeth to Belle about how he's a changed man as he goes off to murder Zelena...the woman Regina spared and actually kind of saved. Regina's redemption arc has been really successful to this point. Rump's was a joke. Okay he stabbed Pan and saved everyone at the cost of his own life. That was the right thing to do. However he turned around and went for vengeance again, something Neal wouldn't have wanted done in his name....

5. Ruby
I 사랑 her because she has gone through SO much and she's still one of the kindest/sweetest people in town. That makes her incredibly strong. She's unconditionally helpful to others. Even people she doesn't know that well 또는 people she doesn't seem to like much. She's also such a loyal friend (especially to the Charmings and to Belle). Plus, she is full of personality and I 사랑 her bold style. And whenever she shows up on screen working as a waitress I get reminded to "Twin Peaks", which is something I love. She grabs all the attention. Ruby is also sassy and sexy without even having...

This is a glossary of sorts to my 기사 "Is Killing Ever Justified?". Please read it first link.

OUAT Legal Dictionary

"There are actually 4 kinds of homicide: Felonious, accidental, justifiable, and praiseworthy. It makes little difference to the victim which sort they die of; the classification is mostly for the benefit of lawyers."

By US definition:

homicide n. the killing of a human being due to the act 또는 omission of another. Included among homicides are murder and manslaughter, but not all homicides are a crime, particularly when there is a lack of criminal intent. Non-criminal homicides...

I expect this will get quite a bit of criticism, so a disclaimer before I start: it is not my intention to bash Neal. I'm trying not to find reasons which aren't there and if I saying anything untrue, feel free to correct me. Please don't complain if I say things 당신 just don't like, but if I get something specifically canonically wrong, tell me so.

This post is me trying to articulate exactly why it is I'm not fond of Neal. I'm simply trying to just lay out what it is about him that irks me while being as objective and impartial as I can. Some of this post will overlap with other 기사 and...

Did anyone else see the parallels between the compass in "Tallahassee" and the magic 콩 in "...And Straight On 'Til Morning"?

Both the 콩 and the compass are necessary tools to travel between the worlds and are a symbol of hope. Both items take a lot of hassle to procure - climbing the beanstalk and fighting the giant for the compass and growing and fighting Tamara and Greg for the bean.

In "Tallahassee" Emma has the compass and refuses to let Hook hold it before deciding to not to risk trusting him and chaining him up. She couldn't risk trusting him because she had to get back to Henry....

"1. Launches himself on a vengeance quest - first thing to do is going to the “eternal kindergarden” where he constantly gets his 나귀, 엉덩이 kicked 의해 a little boy with the yellow bug and his gang.

2. Comes back from Neverland - only to be pushed around 의해 bitchy mother and daughter, and eventually gets 겨울왕국 for 28 years.

3. Upon coming back to life, pretends to be a simple blacksmith - gets chained to a 나무, 트리 의해 a group of girls.

4. Constantly makes innuendo jokes, hits on each and every female in sight - didn’t get one to actually fall for it.

5. Busies himself making rape jokes to impress...
