Like @SciFi girl pointed out in 518, the worst place seems to be the River of Lost Souls given Auntie Em’s tombstone and her last known location. The “better” place is the one that’s really messed up. Like is it just 1 realm and looks different for everyone? Is it multiple realms? Is there an infinite amount of heaven?! ARE MORE HEAVENS POPPING INTO EXISTENCE EVERY TIME SOMEONE DIES IN PREPARATION FOR THEM SHOULD THEY EVER CROSS OVER?!
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"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
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 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.
That’s so darn tricky though because that denies the severity of the rest of your crimes and never gives your victims closure.
Put it another way: let’s say Regina’s biggest regret is killing Henry Sr. Okay, fine. That makes sense but that totally neglects all the other horrible things she did and doesn’t give any sort of closure to all the people she’s killed over the years–like the entire village, Graham, random student of Rumple’s in 205….
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"The more I think about their mythology of the UW, the more I think they are actually modeling a lot of it on the Buddhist concept of bardo where the person’s experience after death and before the next rebirth is often negative, and is the fruition of one’s karma (past actions). The Western interpretation of this concept, which is I think what they’re going with, is that “hell” is really the process of battling one own’s “demons”
I think that fits for the most part. I think there are some weird inconsistencies that have more to do with lack of shading of very minor side characters than anything religious or karmic. For example, Auntie Em and the Blind Witch don’t seem particularly bothered by their status as trapped. In fact, the Blind Witch seems perfectly content as did Auntie Em until the heroes arrived and mentioned Dorothy. The Blind Witch is such a minor character and is being used more for Underworld!Google and Comic Relief that the show missed a big opportunity to have her be haunted by her former suppers.
They also missed the mark, then, with Hook–a known murderer who kept trinkets from his victims and who most recently killed Merlin. Since Hook is technically still dead he should be battling some pretty hefty demons….and yet…
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I am just wondering how did CORA rate the LIGHT when she had killed Snow’s mother? She never repented that evil act, or any of her other evil acts so she probably should have had more UNFINISHED BUSINESS in UNDERWORLD.
@MatthewPaul put this tweet elsewhere but from Jane:@Chipped_Mug7 Not everything you've ever done wrong is included in the Underworld's "unfinished biz" file.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"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?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Final adjusted ratings are in for episode 519 “Sisters”
Eyeballs: 3.85 million
Demo: 1.2
No change in demo, only slight uptick in eyes.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"There’s a lot of side-eye for sure right now. I still think Robin is going to “die” but I haven’t ruled out him coming back for S6 at all, especially with the arc that they’re doing.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I knooooooooooooow 🙁
