I don't understand the point of this arc. They are all over the place. All the articles I read said this was about closure. I don't see it.

I'm afraid to ask what happened next?

It just sounds like they're not giving Regina a HEA and they punished Robin for loving her. I heard the next episode is titled Page 23? That's just a scary thought with these writers because that symbolized hope a couple seasons back so now what? That will get destroyed too? They seem to be using it for a dark twisted version of Robin who is basically just made up by a wish that got made when a real AU Robin from page 23 existed before he ever did. I don't understand what the relevance here could be.

Suz, EQ + Gold is just disgusting. EQ is technically part of Regina and past canon already established he's been like a father figure|mentor to her.

i dont understand the Point of this arc either. ist almost like they want the fans to dislike Robin so that they let go of him and dont want him back on the Show - or is that just my Imagination?

i have to admit that i am scared of the next Episode - lol Robin will probably fall in love with the evil queen haha. but no i hope they wont destroy what we know about page 23. that would really just be the last for me

and exactly- when i saw them kiss i was like "urgh.. he could be your father... for all we know he probably is" lol

It feels like a "be careful what you wish for" type thing. They gave fans what they asked for in the worst way possible, maybe hoping after this they would stop asking to have him back. I don't like this version of Robin and I'll be glad when he's gone, but I will still miss the real Robin and all the lost potential for he and Regina.

I don't think he will love the EQ, but I think it's possibly he'll feel an attraction to her that he doesn't seem to feel for Regina.

I am expecting them to ruin page 23. I don't know how, but nothing about this has been what I hoped for so I don't see why that would change now.

I havent seen the promo for next week and I wont watch the sneak but when they ruin page 23 then I think even I will stop watching after that season

I am scared what they have planned for these two!!

Imzadi

i am not really scared i am just upset and frustrated

I'm not really scared either. I am resigned to the fact that the OQ I loved is over. Wish Robin is totally different than the Robin we knew. There was no longer any doubt about that for me when he said to Zelena, "I'm not here for the brat." Real Robin loved his children fiercely and never would have referred to any child as a "brat".

I'm not sure how this will resolve. The only options I see is that either he will die, or the magic that created him will run out and he will disappear, or he'll leave town.

kindness is free

Yes that was hard to hear Robin call her a brat!

Now we have Evil Robin and Evil Queen teaming up?!

Imzadi

hmm i dont think that he will merely leave town. that would leave the Option of him coming back someday and the writers sure dont want to make it that way. maybe when they kill the evil queen (or she merges again with Regina) then the wish will run out and he will just disappear. or he will die a second time yes. that - due to the writers is the more likely way

I'm not sad or even disappointed at this point, I just laugh at how bad this sl is. Based on press release no we will not be satisfied with next episode.

Imzadi

i wonder if the writers just WANT the Show to end with how bad the writing is

GrhmLz

Lol, so basically, they are probably going to butcher 'page 23' canon, just like we are guessing? I wish there was some kind of Academy award for worst destructive writing Ever! Robin & OQ's arc would take the win on this show! Rumbelle wouldn't be too far behind.

My guess is that Wish Robin will probably cease to exist once Regina merges back with her EQ counterpart. Why? Just because. Rarely do these writers explain anything anymore.

I've seen a theory that wish Robin was actually pulled from the past and that had Regina gone into the tavern when Tinkerbell took her there, this is the Robin she would have met, that this is what he would have been like had Marian and Roland not been part of his life. The only purpose I could see to it would be to show that Robin and Regina wouldn't have been right for each other then and real Robin was right when he said that things happen when they're supposed to. That would also explain why wish Robin didn't age like everyone else in the wish realm, if he came from a different realm and a different time.

Or they could do something awful like completely destroy the soulmate connection, say Tinkerbell was wrong or she was lying or who knows. I wouldn't put anything past them at this point.
