The flashback before the end of the season = Hook’s story after Milah dies as the season finale? Maybe even before he met Milah and his time in Neverland.
“What can you tell us about what’s coming up towards the end of the season?” “Episodes.” Oh Adam…
The one new character helping out another story = Robin Hood? in 19?
I’ll take either of the Hook timelines. He clearly had a mind to go to Neverland to get the time he needed to find a way to get revenge which begs the following questions:
Was he there at some point in the past?
Was Milah ever there with him?
Did he only learn of Neverland after Milah’s death / the element of “time” became important?
If so who told him he should go there? Smee?
While he was in Neverland, what happened? Who were his friends? His enemies?
(Ok, that last one is definitely the point of doing the episodes to begin with but…inquiring minds want to know!)
Personally it sounded like he knew what kind of place it was so he had to have heard it somewhere and/or been there before in which case why leave?
Also: it would interesting if he were once there as a child…a lost boy if you will (would explain his sympathy for them in Tallahassee) and then perhaps went back ONLY after Milah’s death…when he was filled with rage and revenge, possibly on NealFire Pan who is the son of the one he loves as well as the one he hates leading to an epic Hook vs Peter Neverland storyline!
I am also intrigued by the idea of Robin Hood (though I gotta say, I love the fox version so whoever plays him has a lot to live up to). Will be interesting to see where RH fits into everything if / when they do bring him in. Looking forward to it.
I know some hate when the cast gets more bloated but a) the Neverland characters don’t count in this because I firmly believe if they had the rights last year they would have been there sooner (the creators love Peter Pan and we saw a Tink lawn ornament in the pilot for crying out loud! yay for Disney copyrights!) and b) It’s not Snow White, it’s Once Upon A Time and I love seeing other classic characters be brought to life (as long as they’re relevant to the plot) so bring on Robin Hood!
PS: Am I the only one who squealed at the announcement of the last two titles for the season? So excited for the May episodes!
