I am almost positive she was remembering a different scene from the mine episode. Her comments wouldn't make sense otherwise. I'm not surprised that the BOOBS was intentional on the Evil Queen, although I wonder why the wardrobe department made that choice from a character standpoint. I mean, was it to entice the lesbian fanbase and draw our eyes to Regina or was there a deeper character based reason. I know I felt like the show was telling us Regina & Emma were going to be the lesbian characters because of their wardrobe choices from the very first episode. Probably because EQ is supposed to be this sexy, seductive evil bitch lol. She's so sassy and self confident (or is trying to be), she feels like the Queen of the world with everyone falling at her feet. It fits. All 3 Regina's are different even when it comes to wardrobe. And you can see a little bit of EQ in mayor Regina now. |

I agree with everyone else how much I loved the interview. It was the first time someone has done such a comprehensive and character driven chat with her. Not forgetting the SQ angle either. Although I have to say I'd have been overjoyed if she was the captain of this ship, but I guess that she isn't opposed to the idea is good enough for me. Hopefully, since she has now been asked a specific subtext question (mine scene) it might play more in her head from now on. And regarding the SWEN kingdom that lost their marbles, really did anyone see anything hateful? I for one didn't really see much other than just disappointment and oh-no posts. That is OK no? People are allowed to feel disappointed too.

People are absolutely allowed to feel disappointed. It's just some people are very "protective" of Lana, especially the younger generation, and while I personally love and adore her acting and her public persona, I also love how her interview sparked an intellectual discussion of how same sex relationships are treated in the media (which definitely feeds down to the actors), and I believe Lana would approve of that.
Do I feel Lana did anything wrong in her interview? Absolutely not. Was it offensive in any way? Not really. She gave her opinion and managed to not insult us with that opinion (even though I'm sure that Disney/ABC/publicist has put some strict limits on what she can say with regard to Swan Queen). She gave her opinion in an Australian TV Guide based on the fact that Australia had just watched episode 1. Would her answer have been different if Australia was on a US viewing schedule? Probably. Would she have answered differently if it was a heterosexual ship? Maybe. She's been insistent that Regina doesn't seem to be ready for a romantic relationship at this stage with anyone.

Perfectly understandable since we just watched her last relationship end rather horribly. Woman needs time to grieve before she can move on. And she has several lifetimes worth of grieving to do, IMHO. |

I loved the interview! And yeah Regina isn't in a place right now where romance would work. She needs time to figure out who is and being redeemed in Henry's eyes is a big part of it. As for Emma, Jmo's said that the guys will be pursuing her, not that anything would happen, but we know that they'll be a lot of SQ interaction especially when the drought ends. We just have to survive the winter hiatus.  |

Maybe she's not into JMo so doesn't think of what she's doing as sexual? My gf's theory. I quite like it. yeah was thinking the same. no offense to JMo but if i separate them from their onscreen characters, i feel that they have zero to little chemistry |

This is true. Think about someone you do not like at all romantically. Now pretend you have to hate them in a scene in a play. Now someone who saw the play asks you about your fab sexual chemistry. You might be a lil wtf too. ;D I think what we see is a lot of lana's natural charisma with everyone, mixed with jmo pretty much following lana's somewhat interesting cues.
Although there must be a little more to it cos jmo has little chemistry with anyone else. I would love to know the answer to this chemistry overload that lana doesn't see.

I watched a season and a half of House over the summer so that I had something to compare JMo's acting and behavior to. When her character on House was supposed to be interested in someone, she got this really shy smile that I have only seen Emma give Regina and not these male love interests. Her character on House also did not have the same swagger that Emma Swan does. I didn't see the chemistry with her male costars on House, but for different reasons (straight girls don't need to get high to sleep with men, Dr. Allison Cameron). I guess I just see the acting choices as being very deliberate ones: American TV just isn't that subtle. I just think JMo is downplaying the chemistry with male costars so when Emma finally "turns gay," it won't seem out of place. |

Hm, they have a ship name out of the show, I think it's 'Morrilla' (or 'Morilla'?). Anyway, I have a hard time shipping Emma and Regina with any other characters but the situation is very different in real life. I don't know anything about Fred but I like him and I think his relationship with Lana is cute. I'd love to see Lana and JMo as good friends, though (like Ginnifer Goodwin and JMo). Maybe best friends? I don't know, I just can't help but want them to be like family in real life. |

I just think JMo is downplaying the chemistry with male costars so when Emma finally "turns gay," it won't seem out of place. I liked how they nipped that in the bud with Chase, how he knew she loved him somewhat, but not quite enough. Though, in between, I stopped watching House. Last season I really followed was halfway to season 3. Good show that really just got screwed in the middle, by both overdoing and overplaying House's redemption to also underplaying it. It just got so inconsistent and sometimes, overdone. As for JMo downplaying, I don't know. Because I don't think it's about that. I more so think this, that I will always revert back to episode one where Emma is this strong woman who won't easily get wooed by 'brute rougish charm' (so harlequin by the way). If they never ever go the SQ direction, they better find an equal to Emma's personality/character. And much as I like certain dudes, though not in this show, that is so hard to come by. [And really, just to point, the only one they have shown this so far is with Regina, even without intending to, they did. so good luck topping that.] [The one straight pairing i liked with a really strong woman in that coupling was Wash and Zoe in Firefly. But that's Joss Whedon so....  ] |

Strangel, the closest they've come with a male was August. He at least had wit and challenged Emma with more than just a wriggle of his eyebrows. Unfortunately for the show, the chemistry couldn't have been less sexy.

I find this quote especially interesting because I think that Emma's response would have been to find a way to force Regina to acknowledge her, and that's one of the reasons they work so well together. They don't let each other get away with anything.
