Queen Regina needs pills and therapy

[goddessastra.livejournal.com]

So, my friend and i were getting into a show discussion...one of those nerdy things...y'know..and we got into how we think the queen is just..boring...and i said..that i think she is just a "emo little b*tch who just needs a therapist and some pills" because she comes off to me (in her queen role)...like some teenager  who lost her bf to some other cheerleader or something and now "woe is me boo hoo!"

The disney movie version...i think the queen was all pissed off that there would be someone more fair than she was...so..being dethroned like that sent her into a tizzy...

So...being that we do not know yet WHAT it was that snow white did to the evil queen regina...Why don't we use this post to discuss what we THINK she did...(based off the disney movie or not...)...and also discuss her character. what we like or don't like...lets engage in some friendly debate and discussion...cross minds...and maybe meet an interesting person who shares your view...

maybe brownie points if someone posts a guess and it turns out later that said user was RIGHT! XD

Maybe the Queen lost a child and somehow, Snow had something to do with it. I have a theory that these two were friends first. Probably really close. Maybe more like step-sisters. We've seen EQ's father and not once was it implied that he was also Snow's dad. So, maybe step-sisters or just really close friends. Or if, they follow the original fairytales, EQ marries Snow's dad, but not for love. An arranged marriage, maybe? Just like James and Kathryn's (by the way, this is out of topic, but if Charming was playing the role of his twin brother, does that mean his name isn't really James?).

Anyway, it's likely that the EQ before she became the EQ, was the more passive of the two. The more timid counterpart to Snow's fiestiness. And perhaps the one that believed in the power of love, family and happy endings more than Snow did.

Just speculations, though. I do hope they continue making Regina into a more layered villain as opposed to being the villain for the sake of being the villain. Keeps things interesting. :)

You may be right about the name. Geesh, just what James/Charming/John Doe/David Nolan needs, ANOTHER name. :-)

I was thinking that as well -- was James his name in the first place?
