This is a very biased and somewhat inaccurate article.  Regina did not take everything away from Snow White.  Not everything.  Rumpelstiltskin and Cora contributed as well.

["The fact that Regina is willing to go along with this absurd plan shows how dumb she’s gotten over the last few episodes, and when she visits Belle in the hospital to see if she can find out where Rumpel’s dagger is, she makes a very careless mistake."]

I've come to the conclusion that no show . . . no matter how much I like it, is not perfect.  It will provide both first-rate, decent or bad episodes.  "The Outsider" was . . . okay.  For me, it was Colin O'Donoghue who made this episode for me.  There was something about Belle's portrayal in this episode that really…

Regina had absorbed the magic from fairy dust in "Queen of Hearts", when she helped Emma and Snow survive the portal.  That could be why the Blue Fairy's dust didn't work.

You sound as if you want Regina to remain a villain.  Why?  Are villains with no moral complexity easier to swallow?  Even Cora wasn't evil, when she was younger.  At least according to Henry Sr.

I can see that you'll never write a honest article about Betty.  You dislike her too much.  Why, I don't know.  None of the other characters are any better, if one must be honest.

["What I love about Betty’s depression is that there isn’t a firm reason for it. Many TV shows would say, “Oh, she had a controlling first husband” or “She had a bad relationship with her mother” or “She’s stifled by her life as a housewife.” Mad Men says it’s all of those things, but it also says that there’s…

This was such a FUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT.  "HOMELAND" has just jumped the shark for me.  It was too soon.  It was too soon for the CIA to learn the truth about Brody.  And now the rest of the series is going to be about him exposing Al-Queda on behalf of the CIA.  How FUCKING original is this?

[It's kind of the ultimate test for Don. It was easy to cheat on Betty Draper, because she was so cold and bitchy.]

["Mad Men won zero awards out of 17 nominations for what was arguably its best season, and it is now zero-for-25 in acting nominations, as all six of its nominated actors were passed over."]

["Even if Joan had decided to press charges, there is absolutely no way the police in 1962 would even consider bringing this case to court.  I mean, even today, this scene is referred to as "date rape," which rhetorically distinguishes it from "real rape." ]

["From the beginning, Weiner has set up a divide based on youth and age.  Joan comes from a time when a woman saw herself as no more than an accessory to a man.  Betty Draper is a luckier version of the same mindset.  Weiner set up all the pieces for Joan's decision culminating when he told us that Joan 'was raised to…

I think your assessment of this episode was overrated.  It's not as good as "La Fleur", "Confidence Man" or "Outlaws".
