Once Upon A Time: 10 Dumbest Character Decisions

5. When The Mad Hatter Trusted Regina

Oh beautiful, beautiful Mad Hatter (Sebastian Stan), why did you have to get sucked in by Regina's offer of gold? Don't you know by now that anything she says is a straight-up lie?

When Regina told the Hatter she would reward him handsomely to un-retire from hopping worlds one last time, he couldn't resist because, god bless him, he wanted to provide for his adorable daughter. But obviously Regina betrays him and he gets stuck in Wonderland. Then she was so cruel that she transported him to Storybrooke (somehow€still not clear on how she got him from Wonderland) and made him remember EVERYTHING.

If he had just quit while he was ahead, he and his daughter would have both been blissfully ignorant together in Storybrooke when the curse hit.
