Beautiful episode! Really enjoyed it and am extremely happy right now! I was so sad when Hook came closer to the better place than anyone has on-screen, and definitely did NOT see his resurrection coming. However I think it's fair. If you kill the God of the Dead you must get at least one freebie. I liked how the Hook/Zeus scene kind of reminded me of Harry/Dumbledore in the white King's Cross in DH part 2.

Just one thing, why wouldn't Hook have instantly told Arthur DO NOT TOUCH THE WATER before getting into the boat? I mean come on, the Once and Future King almost doomed himself to eternal torment by touching water. However I like how Arthur has a scene in a boat in the afterlife, I don't know if that was a deliberate reference to his legend.

Also .......... Merida, ugh.

I'm actually glad they killed off Robin tbh, and at least at the very end he got his unfinished business - some lines. It was a mercy to let him go. I didn't like how long his silent staring at Regina was (would be emotional if anyone cared about him), without a glance spared for the baby, and how his last episode was spent whining at Regina "you shouldn't have trusted Zelena" ... 5 minutes later "you were right to give her a second chance :)". It was just a waste of screen time imo, a cheap way to get a few lines in towards his end. Nice idea to name the baby Robin, especially since she too will have very little to say.

It was almost comical the way Arthur was killed at the beginning, but then I was expecting a very quick death since we've not seen him for ages and had a preview of him in the UW.

I wonder if Hook's old body is still in his grave, which I imagine he'll be avoiding. Also this is the second time Hook's body has been completely recreated and he STILL HAS ONE HAND!!

Also the scene with Emma and the storybook in the library was BEAUTIFUL, from start to finish. Very well done!!

And as usual, Rumple is here to mess things up just when everyone thinks they're safe, just for the sake of the season double finale. This is literally what they did for seasons 3 and 4.

Final thought: I ship Arthella/ Excalifur/ The-Sword-in-the-Puppy, whatever we wanna call it, and sincerely hope we get a spin-off series about the UW and its new King and DeVil.
