Sure we saw him help Belle and save her life. Which apparently I’m the only one on here that gives him props for that.
well….let’s look at the tape, shall we?
(all from the Fav/Least Fav thread for 6×02)
Well, we’ve demanded an apology from Hook about all the horrors he’s inflicted on Belle over the years and we finally got one–and one that was free of snark and ego. Good for him. I am pleasantly surprised by this.
Hook acknowledging and being remorseful about what he did to Belle! A step in the right direction!
I didn’t hate Hook. For the first time in, like, ever. He actually apologized to Belle, and was a decent, level-headed human. He was also not dominating every singly conversation.
Hook, Yes it is about time to apologize without any sarcasm. I was pleasantly surprised and happy.
The Hook and Belle scene on board the Jolly Roger. I really liked Hook’s apology. It sounded sincere, and was made all the more so by how he was attempting to help Belle.
Hook’s sincere apology, and self awareness that he’s really NOT actually a redeemed hero just yet was quite surprising and greatly appreciated!
Hook apologised to Belle- that was the highlight of the episode for me
All from users who are either staunch SF’ers or who are, at least, not banner waving CSers.
We can actually be critical of him when we think it’s justified and still acknowledge when he does something good. All of this is to point out that we’re not totally off our nut, we’re not just bitter shippers who are unhappy our thing didn’t sail and that we can capable of rational and logical appreciation of Hook when it calls for it
