I can get David being revived after a brief time without a heart. I can even get Zeus breaking all laws to bring back Hook, but if Robin comes back, then Emma needs to cheer up because there are no stakes, just wait and your family will save you!

Besides that, Robin has had little impact even for his type of character. We hardly saw why Regina and Robin liked each other and they sort of just skipped to commited relationship and makeout sessions in the crypt., even his death seemed rushed and just for plot reasons.

Continuous Robin rant done. This will most definitely wrap up SEQ into Regina, so perhaps there are unintended consequences since we should meet the Hooded person (which I believe will come in that episode and probably will have little to no build up prior). (Am I a tad cynical? Yeah, I never get over previous seasons build-up and then lazy payoff). To be fair, the writers never said Robin is coming back from the dead, just that he is not going to be in flashback only. It could mean he comes back as a ghost, it could mean he comes back as an undead, it could mean he comes back in a mirror that lets you commune with the dead, it could mean he comes back but it is not really him and instead someone is just shapeshifting to look like him, etc. Point is, I don't think you should throw yourself into a tizzy, until you actually know how and why they are bringing Robin back. If you still dislike it at that point, then by all means, tizzy away. XD
