I wish I knew what to say. Not only did Robin die but he’s wiped from existence; no moving on, no heaven, no chance of coming back.
Okay everyone: thoughts?

Confused thoughts: So Zeus brings Hook back…but leaves Robin to just…
Depressed thoughts: They didn’t even get to say I love you
Pissed thoughts: I hope a fire happens and all the sets burn down…

May 8, 2016 at 9:46 pm #323030RumplesGirlKeymasterI have a lot to but for right now…this will be it.
The writers did not mean to say this but this is how it comes across: one life matters more than the other, and it’s Hook’s. I’m not okay with that.
I’ll leave it there for now.

Oh okay, I thought I was the only one who got that impression. I didn’t know if the crystal would just kill him or totally destroy him.
That’s extremely scary. Hope someone does something….

However, it’s jut a bad message for a “family” show to send when a father gets killed off and kids get orphaned while a certain character who’s isn’t even a parent gets to be alive again.

May 9, 2016 at 1:02 am #323066RumplesGirlKeymasterYeah, that’s the thing. It’s not like Robin is the most interesting, dynamic, or vital character on this show. He’s really been under developed and it feels like the writers were just bored with him and didn’t know where to go with him next (so DEATH!) But there is something so…twisted about this idea that one semi-good-semi-helpful action allows a man who has committed multiple murders (some even very recently) to come back but allows the boring-but-mostly-good guy to stay dead (thus making fathersless two innocent kids in the process). I mean, Zeus is judge and jury here–does that mean he’s judge and jury for the Underworld too? Is it his flame that judges people and decides where they will go–the good or bad place? Why does Zeus get to decide what happens to Hook? And while he’s at it, why can’t Zeus (since he’s apparently our God-insert who can actually do these miraculous things) just bring back Robin with a wave of his hand since he seems to have literal control over life and death?????

I am wondering if the Zeus had no ability to do anything for Robin due to the factor it was the crystal that took his life and so their was nothing to revive. Could it be that a reward was due for Hades’ death in the form of a life returned and had Robin died from any other method than the crystal it might have be OutlawQueen rather than CaptainSwan with a happy reunion.
One other reason I can see for them killing off Robin is that I can see that it would have been a struggle for him to make peace with Zelena and to share their daughter fully with her. While this reaction from him is more than understandable given not only baby Robin’s conception, but Zelena’s actions aftwards, it would have created such a tension filled family environment that portraying it would have been complex, especially with the new loving bond between Regina and Zelena.

Of course that’s the explanation but this show can literally wave anything into and out of existence. They MacGuffin things all the time. The writers are choosing not to do anything about Robin.

I wrote my main thoughts on the likes/dislikes thread, as I usually do.
But I just wanted to say, ”wiped from existence” basically means ”not coming back ever, (except maybe for flashbacks) so don’t get your hopes up, folks.”
It could also mean that they want to reduce the audience size even more by p***ing off the Regina fans and the Outlaw Queen fans (sarcasm).
