I’ll be very interested to see how many fan theories pan out about Hook. My personal headcanon is that he’s a lost prince and this adopted father, Davy Jones, never told him who he truly was.
I’m thinking along similar lines. Or alternately, his father was an excommunicated prince with people out to kill him, and ran away with Killian when he was very young to save their lives, and changed their name to Jones so no one could find them. Then one day something major went down that Killian has no knowledge of, and that something major is what caused his father to leave and how the legend of Davy Jones was born.
PotC At World’s End was on here last night, and I was getting so distracted wondering how they’re gonna tie in Davy Jones on OUAT that I actually tweeted Adam about it. Honestly think I’ll be a bit disappointed if it turns out there’s no connection to Killian at all. You don’t give a sailor with a mysterious past the last name of Jones if he’s not connected to the infamous Davy.
Killian’s backstory is something I’m really looking forward to seeing.
ETA that I hate how it buggers up the code and posts weird if you try to quote two people at the same time. BAH!
