The only issue I have is if all this is true—Robin is in the mental hospital and not dead-dead–where exactly *is* the hospital?? NYC? Land Without Color? And no matter where it is how did Robin get there?
Those are the questions … I honestly have no real theory on that … yet.
Maybe Robin is struck by a curse that gives him a dual personality. Regina will be able to break the curse of course – but not if she doesn’t know where he is or that he’s even alive …
I have to think about this one some more …
[adrotate group="5"]I hope there is no sustained adventure in the Land Without Color. It was interesting for an episode or two, but after awhile it would get just as grating as the red tint from the Underworld. Just no.

It’d be even worse because there would be no colour at all just black and white.

Imma just talk this out for a hot second cause now I’m trying to put the pieces together…indulge me.
So…it seems fairly obvious that however Robin dies, Hades has something to do with it. Either the lord of the Underworld kills Robin directly (which seems strangely unlikely since thus far Hades has had others do his dirty work) OR he sends someone to do it, like the Fury (this seems more plausible given when we’ve seen thus far this arc). However Robin dies, it would make sense that it has something to do with the Underworld plot, in other words. If the big conclusion to the Underworld plot is that Emma and Co manage to help the souls move on in Operation Firebird then wouldn’t it follow that Robin also moves on? OR does he try to move on, a “thing” happens, and he is brought back to life but sent to a psych ward (which, holy plot exposition needed, Batman!) So either 1) Robin doesn’t actually die but everyone believes he is dead (hence, the funeral) and S6A is all about finding Robin or 2) Robin does die but something magical/ploty happens and he comes back and is sent to S6!Arc!Land and still S6A is all about finding Robin
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I keep thinking that the whole Robin got cursed stabbed in 5A and dark Emma saved him, then the Charon was going to come and take him away, but they sucked one year of your life away from the heroes who wanted to help Regina to save Robin, that all of that is going to come back into play. That Robin can’t be saved from that.

What makes you think this?

Whilst that may have worked had an actual year past (one year lost for one year given), it’s not been a year timeline wise

Keeper of FelixI didn’t mean a year time. I was making a princess bride joke. I just meant that scene where Regina, Snow, Charming, maybe some dwarfs all stopped Robin from dying. That never seemed properly resolved to me, though it happened far enough in the past, that the writers might not remember it.

I think Robin doesn’t die, but everybody thinks so … And then he’s trapped in a psych ward …
Uhm … maybe …
So these two new “brothers” are supposed to lead us into something bigger and something very different than they have done before. This really does seem like the plot they were going to go with Tamara and Greg before they changed it to Peter Pan and Neverland. If that is the case, these Jekyl and Hyde characters are just an introduction to something bigger in season 6. Is there not going to be a big bad for season 6? Or are they keeping it close to the chest? Will we find out in the finale? I just highly doubt Jekyl and Hyde are the big baddies. They seem like they should be working for someone bigger. It’s just, they are running out of villains and I’m not sure who it could be. Who would they have gone with in season 3a if they didn’t do Pan? I’m trying to look for clues but it might just be too early. At first I thought this was going to lead us into Olympus, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

Screwball Ninja posted this interesting essay on certain character’s functions http://screwballninja.tumblr.com/post/143440920516/towards-a-functional-reading-of-ouat-or-move-the
Basically Rumple’s narrative function is as a potential villain and when there is no villain around or a weak villain, the writers use Rumple to fill the void.
