    I don’t think Robin’s death triggers Hook’s return, but rather it comes down to awkward timing. Hades kills Robin with that Olympian Crystal, and I’m still guessing that Zeus is responsible for bringing Hook back via the ambrosia. I guess it’s a life for a life in the sense that the writers felt that there needed to be another major death in return for Hook coming back. I’m sure from Regina’s point of view, she’ll end up blaming Emma, since Robin wouldn’t have died had they not gone to the Underworld in the first place.

    Oh. Unless it’s the Land Without Color and that’s where they meet Jekyll/Hyde?

    It could also be Alice’s Victorian England or they randomly decide to create yet ANOTHER new world. As if we need anymore Fictional Englands…

    Probably. they have to come up with some way to rationalize why Robin can’t come back to life if he is in fact dead for good next week

    It could have to do with the Olympian Crystal, the Magical MacGufin of the week. Maybe the Olympian Crystal has the power to kill a God, so if Hades uses it to kill Robin, then Robin dies in a way that can’t be undone. Otherwise, you’d think Regina would try a heart split the moment he dies.

    Maybe. Snow and Emma were supposed to be in the EF for longer; we had King George’s plot in SB that went nowhere fast; FrankenWolf (though that’s clearly over now); and they could flesh out the Home Office a bit more with some clever writing since Peter is now dead and the Lost Boys are…somewhere

    Just thought of something else repeated from an earlier Season. We know that Snow, Charming, Hook and Zelena accidentally get sucked into a portal to some other realm, and have to return. This sounds a lot like Season 2A in itself, but condensed into two episodes.

    Anyone else feel like the show is going backwards—season wise at least?

    S5 (both A and B) had some serious S3A and B overtones and now S6A is set up like S2B. So is 6B going to look like 2A–maybe this time Charming and Emma get trapped in the EF and have to battle someone in order to get back home? There’s an awful lot of plot that got forsaken in 2 once NVL happened.

    Could they be going back to the ideas they originally had for the end of Season 2 into Season 3, before Neverland got greenlit?

    That seems fairly likely. Not sure if I like it…but it seems likely. Rumple’s been doing it nonstop, Hook became the DO, so now it’s Regina’s turn.

    When Robin’s death was first rumored, didn’t we theorize way back when that it could be so that the writers could find a way to bring back the Evil Queen? Looks like we’re revisiting that theory…

    As I said in another thread, I don’t think Regina will become the Evil Queen again by choice. I highly suspect that she is somehow given Jekyll’s potion, and turns into the Evil Queen against her own will. I think the writers miss writing certain characters when they were evil, and can’t help but figure out ways to do so again in the present. We’ve seen them do so with Rumple countless times, and we even saw them do it with Hook at the end of 5A. However, they want to have their cake and eat it too. By using Jekyll’s potion, they aren’t necessarily going against Regina’s character development and long term redemption. This would be like the Spell of Shattered Sight again, but probably more long term. She could also transform back and forth, which could add a new dimension to this.
