    Yeah…the fact that the Roland scene was cut is too bad. But as I’ve said in other threads, although the crystal “ended” him, I would not be surprised Robin came back simply because the crystal is likely Zeus’ and we have seen the power Zeus has with bringing people back.

    Quote

    I agree that Zeus could wave his hand and undo the Crystal. But why not do it in the moment? Like Hook, Robin made some heroic choices this week (protecting Regina, trying to save his baby) so why not undo the death right away if Zeus does have that sort of power?

    I personally think Robin’s not coming back (except flashbacks pre-death).

    Well a couple reasons.

    1. I think we have not seen the last of Zeus.  And when we see him again, when his story becomes more prevalent, that’s when Robin could come back into the picture.

    2. Just like with Hook, they want us to believe Robin is truly gone before they bring him back in grand fashion.  They still might not, but if they were going to, these are the reasons why I think they wouldn’t do it in the same episode.

    I’m waiting on exit interviews. Apparently both TVLine and EW are supposed to interview Sean today, so I’m #hoping that sheds some light on if Sean/Robin is gone for good.

    Hook didn’t get immediately buried….Robin is six feet under with a baby named after him….chances are very, very low of them bringing him back.

    It’s especially sad because Regina will NEVER get that type of unconditional love again. Cora wanted Regina to be queen, Henry Sr. wanted Regina to not end up like her mother, Rumple wanted Regina to be a monster, Henry wanted Regina to be a hero….but Robin, all Robin Hood wanted was for Regina to just be Regina! He not once judged her for her past, he instantly saw the woman under the Evil Queen mask, he never threw her sins in her face, he never pressured her into giving up her magic or pressured her into staying a saintly hero, he loved and accepted her for who she was and wanted her to just be herself! Robin Hood was Regina’s soul mate, in every sense of the word!

    that does seem to be the running formula on this show.

    Public funeral + baby named after you =dead dead dead

    Both Robin and Neal had the same set up.

    Seriously, who’s gonna die so Belle’s baby can have a name?!

    It would put Rumple back as a single father, a chance to redo it and get it right the second time around in honor of his wife.

    Now I’m even more depressed because I can see them actually doing this!!!!

    And Season 7 would be another Dark Curse with sixteen years passed, starting with the new generation….the new Storybrooke Savior Neal Nolan caught in a love triangle between his step cousin Robyn Mills and good friend Isabelle Gold. You guys know Adam and Eddy would go there….

    Belle dies in childbirth, giving Rumple a daughter whom he promptly names Belle.

    Ye gods.

    Hi. I apologize for the painful things I am about to say. 🙁

    ~

    I had an interesting thought.

    When I first heard the spoilers about Robin’s death, and some hints about how it would happen, you know what it reminded me of? Something about the randomness, the pain for the sake of pain, the loss because of a magic so unnecessary, but so unavoidable. And the heroes so helpless to do anything about it. And all the lost potential of of all the happiness that could have been, should have been.

    Do you know what all that reminded me of??? Sirius Black!!! 😮 😥

    ~

    But now that I have actually seen it, and thought about it, I am thinking something rather different. Because, the way Robin dove in front of Regina to take that blast instead of her: now I am reminded of something else.

    I am thinking of when Lilly jumped in front of Harry to save him from the death curse!!! 😮 😮 😮

    Amiright??? So, now I am wondering if Robin’s act of sacrifice has created some new magic, all it’s own???

    But sadly, no one on this writing staff is JK. Jane Espenson is the best they’ve got, but I’m afraid she’s not enough anymore. 🙁

    ~

    Yeah, like I said, sorry. 😉
