Whether it is Robin's change of appearance or something much crazier, I just expect a show dealing with magic and fairy tales to be a bit off the wall. With Regina and Robin, I understand there is the moral dilemma of committing adultry vs. being with your true love. When it all began, I didn't want them to become that or be founded on that. I really think that, just like Snowing, the writers are going to lend more explanation. Snowing was already married, so David was not really married to Kathryn. I think there is more to be revealed about Robin and Regina. However, I do think that they will be together in the end. All of this angst is just the road to it. Lastly, I do have to say that I think both Robin and Regina are great parents. Regina had her moment after Henry realized Storybrooke was not normal, but I really believe that they are good parents to their children. The show doesn't depict every moment of the day, so it is unfair to call Robin out on not being with Roland. Pixie dust-match making bothers so many because it was a plot device known by the audience and Regina. No other couple was foreshadowed or required a device to bring them together. The best (or worst) part is that Tin k said Regina ruined Robin's life, which is funny because she did. It wasn't Regina not choosing Robin which led Robin to being a bit unhappy, because he happily married Marian and had his child he loves, Roland. Regina caused his unhappiness by taking Marian away from him (which Emma then assisted indirectly). Another of the controversial things is that Robin and Regina wasn't adultery, but Robin made it so. Robin could have declared their marriage over or at least a separation due to the extraordinary events. Robin choose to honor his vows and go with Marian, and he tossed his honor aside and got drunk and made out with Regina. This is ruining his character for something that wasn't necessary. Marian wasn't apart of a love triangle, she posed no real conflict, and she was frozen for much of the season she was introduced. My main issue, besides those is: Does or did Regina love Robin or chose Robin because of pixie dust or naturally? Guess what it wasn't naturally because she had prior knowledge.

I love Regina, but I'll say that Regina is a wonderful parent. So, is Robin to some degree. We actually don't see his parenting skills, so we can't exactly claim that. Half of the time we see Robin and Roland, Roland is in danger.
