Hilariously, Robin dressed up like a flying monkey guard, engaged in an arrow fight with Zelena, pocketed a pretty necklace, and learned such an important lesson from the Knave about honor amongst thieves that he decided to abandon his Applebee’s and start a Communist colony out in the forest. There he would live with great honor by stealing from people who had more money than he did and giving that money to people living in the woods, people who appeared to be detached from any sort of market-based society. So the economics were a little shaky, but basically the headline of this story is, “Eff taxes!” and that is a message we can all get behind in mid-April.

OUAT launched into a 40-minute, in-depth origin story of a Disney character so tertiary he was portrayed by a fox. Did you know that before he started stealing from the poor, Robin Hood managed an Applebees? And before that, he just stole. He gave up a life of theft to run a tavern, but then taxes were due and they were way too much for him to afford, and sure enough Rumple came calling with some random shit he desperately needed and sent Robin Hood to Greenscreen City Emerald City to get him a magical, heart-healing elixir!

And then we found out that Regina was in Magic Handcuffs (sure) across from Rumple, who pulled a Post-It out of her pocket with Robin’s number on it and told her to call him. That’s how you know Regina isn’t really into Robin, because if she was, his info would’ve been in her phone already from all the unsent texts she’s been drafting.

My mind is spinning, guys. I just need to grab hold of something solid for a second and get this shit straight. We’ll discuss the plot from “Heart of Gold” in a second, but first I think we all need to take a moment and really appreciate what Once Upon a Time is trying to get away with here. Maid Marian has always been Zelena? All the time she was in Storybrooke, Maid Marian was Zelena in disguise, quietly moving in on Robin Hood to spite Regina? So this was true when she told Regina that Regina could have Robin Hood because she, Maid Marian, was moving on? And this was true when she unwittingly ate some magicked ice cream that turned her into an ice statue for the entire time Elsa was in town? And this was also true when she first came to Storybrooke and immediately recognized Roland, who Zelena had never seen before? Even if somehow we could just accept all of this, we're supposed to just nod along with the idea that Zelena’s SENTIENT LIFE FORCE left her body and hovered around Emma and Hook through space and time like a bad smell? No, honey, no. Nuh-uh. Nice try, OUAT, but you need to show me some receipts when you try to make such an extensive return. You can’t just ret-con half a season and exchange an entire character with a color-changing necklace and call it a day.

Zelena also had a monologue that made me feel like i was watching a day time soap

Urgh I just hate how clunky it is. And how the characters have to keep repeating each others names like they have the memory of a gold fish or something.

So was this meant to make us like Robin Hood?
