And a clone Hook is still our Hook just a copy of him. He still has all the memories of Hook. He is still Emma’s husband. Emma is still his true love evident in 7×01 with Rogers
Sure. But it’s still a much better story, IMO, to send *real* Hook for the story reasons I stated above. Not Copy!Hook. I mean why should I care about Clone!Hook and him being there to help Henry. Real Hook helping Henry, suffering through the curse…that’s the better story, IMO. And it keeps to so many of the themes the show likes to present. But the story in which Hook and Emma say “we’re gonna make a clone of Hook to keep you safe so we can go back to our normal lives in SB” is soooo much weak sauce, for me.
They gotta do this cause JMO is only gonna be in one episode. And there’s no pay off to a 20 + episode separation for CS fans if he’s the real Hook. All that angst and separation, the pay off would happen off screen. There’s nothing for the fans to invest in not unless they shot a secret scene when JMO came to film. It’s risky and leaves fans angry cause all that angst and separation the pay off would happen off screen or implied. That’s not good.
This guarantees that CS have their happy ending, that CS is still relevant in S7 cause Rogers TL is Emma and if the endgame of this plot which I suspect is Rogers being reintegrated back into our Hook, then JMO does not need to appear. Just the real Hook in a sequence in SB suggesting that Rogers is back to being a part of Killian. And he can live his HEA w/ Emma and their child..
The child I think will also be incentive for Rogers to want to go back.
