There is a way to save him: by using the time travel spell. It could be an epic mess, but it could work Like that's ever going to happen. And besides, if one of the others dies, there is no way they are going to repeat a ressurection. That's one of the reasons last season lost so many ratings and viewers in the first place. I agree Robin will not be brought back (in the present day, he is still fair game for flashbacks), but the show didn't lose ratings and viewers because of what they are doing plot wise. As shows run longer, they all lose viewers. Furthurmore, as binge watching and streaming services become more popular, people are simply not watching the shows on the networks live. Probably part of the reason ABC just launced a new app. Don't be surprised when the ratings and viewers continue to decline in Season 6, because it is just the nature of aging shows, and also of the way society is watching shows (which is no longer live on the network).
