P.S. I really like the Henry theory as the way Hook regains his hand.
(And it has long been a hook-concealing costuming issue on why we haven’t seen the Captain in modern clothes.)
HOOK will always be Hook to me even without the attachment. The guyliner would be harder to lose (heh) but it is Colin’s intensity,talent and gorgeous face that will keep him forever the pirate! (Said while his theme music plays in my brain)
