Posting this link to a funny post by Screwball ninja (or at least I found it funny) on Imaginary Dark One Rumple.

My thoughts on that second sneak peek: I don’t like how Hook is treating Dark One Emma. Perhaps it is being written like that to play in with Belle’s line “It’s far easier to hate a dark one than it is to love one” but it just seems odd and a little OOC that he would spend 3 seasons chasing after Emma and that, now that she’s the dark one, he wants nothing to do with her. I feel quite confident predicting that until Hook gets over his issues with Emma being the dark one, then a CS TLK won’t work. Remember Belle’s line about Rumple in 315 “I love him, all of him, even the parts that belong to the darkness”. Until Hook can learn to love ALL the parts of Emma including the darkness, then no amount of kissing is going to break the Dark one curse.
The thing I find almost unsettling about the clip is that Hook refuses Emma’s offer of talking and having lunch “like old times” when she’s dressed in her Dark one outfit, yet he’s more accepting of the offer when she’s wearing her Sandra dee dress. Not only that but Emma’s body language when she’s apologising before making the offer, it just doesn’t sit right. It’s like she’s being made to apologise because she’s not the woman Hook wants her to be and she doesn’t want to be rejected by him so she’s being quite submissive.
All magic comes with a price!
