Before Emma and Hook interfered with the time line Robin kept saying it was his fault. He put her into harm's way.

That could just mean he should have never brought her along on whatever job got her captured. I always assumed she was killed during a robbery, not captured then executed.

I was actually expecting Marian to be the next villain (before I knew it was Marion). Regina walks into the diner, sees her, her eyes get big... "No!  You're supposed to be dead!  Everyone run!" Regina launches a huge fireball at her, cut to black... that would have been a good season ender.

I don't think she *has* to die. I think she should, for Regina's sake, but I don't buy into the "she was supposed to die, fate will catch up". Maybe her fate was to be rescued by a time travel spell.
