So… on top of redeeming Regina and Rumplestiltskin we also add redeeming Hook BUT try not to recycle story lines at the same time? How is that going to work?
Here’s a thought: I couldn’t care less for Hook, whether he dies or not. So to me your idea of redeeming Hook in a long process doesn’t exactly appeal as a great story and great drama. To me it would be a bore. My point is – everyone perceives those characters and story lines differently. For you Hook is your ultimate guy, good for you, but bare in mind that to many others he is not, and they wouldn’t mind much to what’s happening with him. Yes, I do admit he has a huge fan club out there but this club is NOT the majority and there are huge fan clubs of other characters too. Perhaps you should appeal for a separate show for this Captain rather than offending the show for not following your rules.
