I dunnooooo. There are a lot of things coming together all at once that aren’t leading down a good path. The comment from Sean’s agent awhile back; Sean’s own noncommittal answer to the question; the filming shots of the cast without Sean, all in black, at a cemetery (I’m having Neal flashbacks actually. We all tried to rationalize those shots but it was exactly what it looked like: Neal’s funeral).
So let me get this straight. Hook gets to live but Robin dies? Is this the life for life trade? That would be wrong on so many levels if Emma got Hook back but Regina lost her second chance at love. I’m not Robin’s biggest fan, but he deserves to live more than Hook does. Robin is a father and actually is a good guy.

Is this for real? Did OnceABC tweet a SwanFire scene with #ALLTHEFEELS?

Friendly reminder that Neal and Emma will always love each other. #NoImNotOkay

To me, the most interesting question isn’t IF everyone can be saved but rather SHOULD everyone be saved? A lot of the people we saw in the Underworld tonight are literal villains. The Blind Witch ate (ate!!) kids. Pan is basically a sociopath. If characters like this haven’t really learned their lessons, should they be included in Operation Firebird? Should they get to go to the Land of Fluffly Clouds? And if the answer is yes, then what does that say about the morals of the show?
I don’t think everyone should be saved, in the sense they don’t seem to have learned their lessons. No matter one’s view on the afterlife, it seems like there should be some sort of karma or cosmic justice for one’s choices; otherwise, evil is just about how much a person can get away with in life.

I think it means the show has a messed up moral compass.

Feel free to skip over this comment, since I know most people will say that this was the last time we’ll ever see Neal again; however, I’m no so certain. Many people also said we’d never see Neal again after 3×22, but then we saw him in 5×12. There are a couple of reasons why I’m speculating about the idea that this might not be the final time we’ll ever see Neal. The biggest reason is because Neal and Henry still haven’t gotten closure. I’m not saying they necessarily ever will, but 5×12 was the perfect time for Henry to see his dad again, but that didn’t happen. Also, it seems like Emma is just as in love with Neal as ever as much as he is with her. Just saying. The other thing is that the Neal-Emma scene in 5×12 just emphasized the contrast between their love that the selfish kind of “love” that Hook and Emma have. Maybe I’m just seeing things through shipper-glasses, but whenever we have a scene with Neal, it always seems intentional how unselfish and kind his love is in contrast to Emma/Hook’s unhealthy kind of selfish love that imperils them and everyone else. Neal still is looking out for Emma, because he loves her and always will. Neal only ever wished for Emma to be happy, even if it was without him. That is the purest kind of love there is.
As many people have said, it seems like JMO and Neal especially play their characters that way, with the knowledge that their characters have true love. That is why the emotions and the acting choices seem so authentic and stand in stark contrast with the wooden way Emma quoted her father’s line of saying she’d always find Hook. It seems like Emma has really latched onto the idea of wanting the same kind of death-defying true love that her parents have. Yet, I think we know that the heart-splitting plan is doomed to fail, because Emma and Hook don’t share true love. To quote Neal, “Trust me on this. This won’t end the way you think it will.”
