Is it just me or did they really do a character assassination on Robin in "Mother"? I know they cut out a lot (many photos of their arrival back in storybrooke never made it to the screen apparently); but he just didn't seem like himself. The conflicted, struggling Robin we saw in "Heart of Gold" and who yearned after Regina all season became "this is what we agreed on" in the supposedly juicy bar scene. It felt so flat. Even if they had discussed this offscreen, where was the "I couldn't have what I wanted, so I had to do the best I could for myself and my family and rebuild our lives together". Regina could have understood that; his attitude towards her being upset seemed very dismissive to her hurt. I know he had a big shock, but still. I enjoyed the zelena/regina scenes immensely. Love Bex Mader she does a delicious job with Zelena and lana Parilla is fabulous as Regina any time she appears onscreen. Was hoping Zelena would take that 2nd chance offered to her after her first defeat, maybe now we can get that sisterly relationship explored. Very similar these two, lots of parallels in their story. I want to see them actually be there as family. Loved that Regina realized she had the power over her own happy ending and no one else. Robin is just a part of it, like a piece in a mosaic. I just hope that piece recovers it's luster.
