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.

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.

Keeper of FelixSo…it seems fairly obvious that however Robin dies, Hades has something to do with it.
What makes you think this?
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.
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 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.

Keeper of FelixI think the unfinished business is the one thing you regret the most then once you resolve that you get to move on. So Cora regretted splitting up WickedSisters the most and reuniting them enabled her to resolve that and move on.

Keeper of FelixI don’t think Regina is really in the position to judge Zelena about Robin for the reason that Regina did the same thing herself to Graham. Hopefully Regina reflected on her past actions as the EQ and came to the conclusion that whilst what Zelena did to Robin was wrong, she can’t really pull her up on it because otherwise it would be hypocritical.
Absolutely Regina is not in a position to judge but Regina’s misdeeds in the past don’t mean that Zelena should get a free “trust” pass either.
Maybe not but Regina doesn’t and shouldn’t get to decide what Zelena does and doesn’t do. At worst, Regina should be prepared just in case Zelena does do something but trying to dictate what Zelena can and can’t do and take away Zelena’s choice is only going to make things worse and send Zelena off the deep end. We all saw what happened when Regina lost Daniel, imagine how Zelena would react when she found out that Regina had denied her a chance at love.
It was never Regina’s place to decide whether or not Zelena got to be in a relationship with Hades.

Keeper of FelixYeah, it looks like Emma and Hook are going to be canon true love’s after the next episode. At least, by the time they became true love’s it was completely meaningless. A man under a sleeping curse became true love’s with his nurse and Belle said that her not very good father could wake her from a sleeping curse. Good job, show.
I don’t think they will be declared canon TL next episode. Probably some point in the future but not yet. I could be wrong but from the promo “Only true love shall pass”, the ground shaking and what looks like Hook basically telling Emma to let him go and Emma saying she’s not good with goodbyes I don’t think the trials they have to go through, which seems very reminiscent of Indiana Jones and the last Crusade, classes them as true love. Of course the whole sacrifice thing “go save yourself”/”I’m not leaving you” could be what allows them to pass the test. At the very least I think Emma and Hook expect it to be reasonably easy because “true love” only to get a nasty shock when it doesn’t go their way.

Keeper of FelixI’m hoping that Belle acknowledges that, though she doesn’t agree with Rumple’s methods, if the end result is that their child is saved then she shouldn’t complain too much.

Keeper of FelixIt’s just that the 30 years or so of personality development that they’d experienced since the memory wipe….well, those people deserved to grow and develop naturally, and not be instantly “patched” with a software upgrade. To me, it would have felt more like a foundation for real character development for Regina and Zelena if Cora had said something like “What I took from you….I can’t give it back, but I can show you…” and then used a magic mirror to replay her own memories.
I agree and it goes back to what Regina had said earlier in the episode–Zelena has lost her right to trust and privacy and she has to earn it back. Having your memories of one brief instance of kindness between the girls doesn’t change *everything* Zelena has done to Regina and Regina’s friends and family and love interest (lest we forget the wonky consent of Robin!) It’s a stepping stone for a better relationship but I don’t buy that now they can be BFFs.
I don’t think Regina is really in the position to judge Zelena about Robin for the reason that Regina did the same thing herself to Graham. Hopefully Regina reflected on her past actions as the EQ and came to the conclusion that whilst what Zelena did to Robin was wrong, she can’t really pull her up on it because otherwise it would be hypocritical.
