    I know I’m speaking to deaf doubting ears at this point, but for the record, so I can say “I told you so” 😉 …

    Sam Witwer is Scar!

    That’s what I think.

    Besides if it were true that they were leaving, Regina should be there to say goodbye to Roland

    Easy answers 1) Regina said goodbye privately 2) Baby Hood is with Zelena or the nuns or other baby sitters since that’s how all the babies on this show are treated.

    I know that we saw John and Roland go through that door, but what if it is not for filming but was just for a little fun during when they are not filming? Did anyone think about that?

    No because that doesn’t really happen. Yes, sometimes the cast stands around and goofs off a little, but not in a way that makes it look like they are spoiling a big reveal. They actually just spoil the big reveal. Also, once again, you need to remember that time and actors all cost money. Lots of it. Most of the time, when they aren’t shooting, in between takes, the actors just stand around, drink water, look at the script, or if longer go over and say hi to fans. D-level actors and characters like Little John and Roland (meaning not main cast, not even reoccurring guest starts, just characters that need to be there to wrap up a plot point) need to be in and out because the show can’t afford (either money wise or time wise) to joke around and take forever for a single shot (like going through a door). I know you’re trying to look for all sorts of clues to lead you to believe that Robin isn’t dead but your rationalizations are getting pretty out there. Occam’s Razor, friend. The simplest answer is the best, and usually the right one. 1)There was a funeral in which Regina was wearing widow’s weeds. 2)Roland and John are going through a door to the EF without Robin 3)Sean hasn’t been on set in about a week 4)Everyone on set watching funeral hinted that it was Robin’s funeral. 5)Robin has been getting less and less to do with each passing week 6)Hades and Zelena now have a connection and Robin was “the other guy” and Hades has already been shown to have a vindictive side. 7)The life owed to the Fury still hands over the plot 8)The day after the funeral was shot this blind item came out , which Matt and I both said would happen if a lead character was dying and not some one-off. Easiest and best explanation: Robin will die at some point in S5B. You can come up with all the “clues” you want, but you’re falling into confirmation bias: you don’t want to believe it’s Robin so everything becomes a clue to tell that you it’s not Robin but you’re overlooking all the evidence that says it is Robin. I did the exact same thing when it was Neal. MRJ takes a picture of a door and instantly I think that Neal survives 3B. He didn’t.

    Oh, I agree completely. At this point, everything points to Robin dying. But there may still be a twist. Either to his death or to what we think is his death, but which may be something else. We’ll see.

    Okay, Henry and the Lion, sort of connected me to Narnia, i mean Lucy used to be able to see things before her brothers and sister bc she believed. But these spoilers are very confusing, so they are in SB and then get sucked into a portal, then end in NY, with all the others? odd and confusing the spoilers.

    Could also be The Lion King or Richard Lionheart … If Robin isn’t dead, maybe we’ll finally get to exploring the origin of the Lion Tattoo …

    Here’s a possible clue that is might not be Robin. Someone saw a photo of what she or he took to be the funeral that people keep mentioning. But the positioning of the characters doesn’t point to Robin. Emma and Henry are standing in front and the others are behind with Regina in the middle. If it were Robin’s funeral, Henry would be standing next to Regina in front. There was also Ruby in this photo which seemed strange. It appears that it might be someone else. And funerals always seem to start at the begining of each episode after an event of the previous episode. Possibly it might be for the beginning of 5×23. And the “Only You” episode might involve death or something. I don’t know. I’ll just have to wait and see.

    Quote

    Yes, I wondered about the positioning too and why Henry wasn’t next to Regina. But still, Regina is the only one wearing black and also, Little John is present, but Robin isn’t Hope you’re on to something though ?

    Quote

    I’m just finding possible spoilers and clues. And still, just because we didn’t see Robin doesn’t mean it is him who is dead. After all like I informed, Amy Manson filmed scenes ahead for 5×23 at Fort Langley with Emma, David, Regina and Robin. That also sounds like one of the proofs that he is not the one gone.

    Quote

    Yes, but then where the heck is he? Why did Roland leave Storybrooke with Little John and no Robin?

    If Robin were to die, wouldn’t Henry want to save him by rewriting the story? I cannot imagine Henry being able to bear or accept Regina having her heart broken again. He is her biggest champion, so I don’t see him living that down. Especially since the Apprentice now told him that the author CAN bring people back from the dead …

    Quote

    It is still against the rules of the author. And after the last episode, it seems clear now that Henry is not going to use the power of the quill to resurrect the dead. Only to write and record what happened.

    Quote

    Yes, with regards to Hades. But putting such emphasis on the fact that it IS possible to resurrect the dead, rules or not, opens up a lot of opportunities and there’s probably a reason for that. So I wouldn’t rule anything out.

    After the reveal that Hades had a romance with Zelena, I’m now 99% sure that Robin Hood is going to die in Last Rites. Hades’ being in love with Zelena might mean he’s jealous of Zelena bearing Robin’s child. What if Hades decides to claim the price of the dark magic Emma used to save Robin’s life in The Price because Hades is incredibly envious of Robin being Zelena’s baby daddy?

    Quote

    I fear you may be right. Though he probably dies saving the life of his daughter. One thing has been consistent about Robin and that is that he is a FATHER … Also, that would be about the only sacrifice Regina may be able to “survive”, because she would have done the same thing. If Zelena and Regina are going to bond, which some spoilers indicate, there is no way, Zelena is responsible for Robin’s death. I don’t think.

    Quote

    Are we certain that Merida is only going to be in the last to eps of the season? And NOT in Last Rites …

    I figured Robin’s fate may be sealed in “Last Rites” – giving himself up to Hades in stead of, maybe, his daughter, and then that coming to pass with a goodbye in “Only You” …

    Then that funeral could be for someone else.

    Quote

    It could. And I hope it is. But Robin was not there. Regina was all in black as the only one, and Little John was present. So unless it is a smoke screen to try to convince some new villain that Robin is dead – or to even trick the fans (which I find unlikely), it really doesn’t look good for Robin. Also taking into consideration that Little John later takes Roland back through the door without Robin. Though I would have thought Regina would have taken in Roland, but ok …
