Watching tonight's "OUAT", entitled "The Evil Queen", and it is hilarious in places..



Regina (after killing an entire village): Why don't they love me?
Rumple: Well, you did just burn an entire village.
Regina: Once I kill Snow...they'll see how kind I can be.
Rumple: Through the burning embers of their homes?
Regina: That's her fault. Snow's the villain, I'm not. They'll see that after she's dead.
Rumple: No, they'll just fear you, they'll never love you. You are the Evil Queen.
Regina: How can you say that! I'm not the evil, she is.

Sigh. How delusional can a character be?

Of course this is a woman who has a picture of dragonflies on her wall.

Later...to Henry.

Regina: See they've been lying to you about the magic beans. They'll take you and me back to the Enchanted Forest and I can show you that I'm a hero!
Henry: Isn't Enchanted Forest destroyed? And maybe they didn't mean to lie to you, they are just waiting to tell us?
Regina: No, no they don't want me to come. Plus...There's a fail safe, we escape to the Enchanted Forest, I pull the fail safe on the curse and it will be as if it never happened. And we can escape it, you and I. I'll be your hero!
Henry: What will happen to Storybrook?
Regina: It will disappear.
Henry: And everyone who lives here?
Regina: Everyone will die. And I can be the hero!
Henry: No, if you kill everyone that would make you the villain.

So she erases his memory. Because ooopsie, that didn't work.

I think they should have thought of a different angle for this... because the Queen's delusion is too ridiculous. There must have been a way to present it that wasn't so stupid and unbelievable (but I'm still loving Rumplestiltskin and the way he jerks everyone around!).

Yet oddly hilarious. It's too absurd to take seriously. I loved the interactions. Talk about dense as a rock. No one can be that delusional.
And the writers appear to realize this - that dialogue was clearly written with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Although...I was admittedly thinking halfway through...okay, Regina's out of her gorge, can we kill her now - please? Find a more interesting villain...eh enter Hook, Owen and Tamara, who are not only more interesting but appear to actually be somewhat bright and not delusional.

Agree on Glee...I stuck with it, because I knew they were going to do one of my favorite Songs from a Chorus line - "at the ballet", and they didn't do the song the way I thought they would, which was refreshing. Apparently Sarah Jessica Parker can sing. Who knew?

The rest of it...sigh. And the songs..okay, I did like their version of "We Will Rock You" - Queen, but that's just because I have a weakness for Queen.
And while I like "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" - Sam doesn't have the voice for it. Rest of it, not memorable.

Jane Lynch's number from Annie - Little Girls wasn't bad, Jane Lynch can also sing apparently.

I don't think Sarah Jessica Parker has a strong voice, or has much range, but she really was able to carry off her part of 'At the Ballet' beautifully. I was impressed.
And I think I read that Jane Lynch was going to be on Broadway in 'Annie' playing Miss Hannigan (I'm sure she'll be hilarious).
I am a sucker for show tunes.
