Reply To: Emma + Baelfire = Swanfire

RG: I agree with what you said, for some reason the writers so far have decided not to have a conversation between Emma and Hook about his past actions, and it gives the impression to the audience it is water under the bridge to her, to Hook, but it may be that she simply bottled it up as irrelevant for now.  She needs her son back, then she can deal with the baggage in the relationships with either man, and they can deal with their issues with each other.

This is honestly the thing that annoys me most about the hypocrisy of fans who hate Neal while blindly loving Hook. Neal gets a lot of hate for leaving Emma and allowing her to go to jail, even though he did so to get her home; yet, Hook somehow gets a free pass from CS fans for leaving Emma for dead, ignoring her pleas to return home to Henry. Hook would’ve left Henry motherless (unless you count Regina) by leaving Emma to rot in a jail cell. It’s so inconsistent, and I hope Emma brings this up to Hook at some point. Hook is not someone who values Henry or has his best interest at heart. Neal, however, is Henry’s father, and therefore would lay down his life for his son.
