Oh, you won’t have to worry about that. It’s only a matter of time before Regina goes bad again. Also, for Rumpel. I just love this show, but never had a favorite character until now. I feel really strongly about my belief that the writers should keep Hook on board. If they don’t they’ll break a lot of hearts. They’ve make a lot of viewers very happy with him, and I don’t like the thought that the writers don’t consider their viewers when making decisions. ABC has something great going with Hook. I just hope they don’t wave that steak under their viewers noses, and then rip it away. Seems a bit cruel, to me. I know this is just a show but when someone commits their viewership to it (becomes a fan), they become a part of it. We viewers are not rag dolls to play around with, and the perception that we are seen that way is demoralizing.
I feel the same way about Rumple that you feel about Hook. They take away Rumple and I’ll just sit somewhere and cry.
I think season two will be all about Cora and Hook, possibly with Hook turning on Cora toward the end. Cora will be dealt with by the end of the second season and season three will see the return of Regina/Rumple showdowns as he tries to find Bae and I think she does slip back into her Evil Queen persona, especially when it becomes very apparent that people are going to want revenge on her (and ultimately Rumple) AND that she will is going to lose Henry to Emma. Enter Hook as perhaps a “reformed” (no one ever stays reformed) bad guy who has a vendetta against Rumple leading perhaps to the CaptainEvil ship.
