As hard as it is for me to say this, I really don’t want to see Ariel before we’ve had some of our other plot lines cleared up & maybe lost a few regular/guest characters, since we will be having 3way splits story wise for at least 1/2 the season (mix of FTL/SB/NL flash backs, present day FTL, SB & NL).The reason being, I really don’t want Ariel to be introduced & used like Belle has been (since Belle & Ariel are my fav disney princesses), with only a few mins of screen time every few eps for the most part.
While I don’t personally want Ariel & Hook together- I LOVE CS (& the concept art of ‘pirate like’ Emma for S1 is AWESOME) 😉 I’d have to wait & see how they interacted & their stories intersected on the show before I went there- I would like her to get her happy ever after with Eric, rather than not at all or a single one off story 😐
I do worry if they paired Hook with Ariel, if we’d get much more of him come S4 & honestly he’s my fav character, so a big part of why I watch the show at all- I’d be totally bummed out if that happened.
They wanted to use Hook in S1, but couldn’t due to rights issues, so I’d hate to lose him in S4- he’s the 1st ‘villian’ type I’ve instantly taken a liking to 😉
