Hook is running around the big city dressed as a pirate waving his hook around making him look like an escaped convict from a mental institution. No wonder Emma probably calls the cops on him! Hook doesn’t belong in Emma’s world of NYC with her. Instead, he’s been sent to call her back to the world of fantasy and make-believe. Hook might represent adventure to Emma, but he also represents danger to the life she’s built for herself and Henry.
This is a really good point

Agreed. This moment was about Emma and their son. This wasn’t a time to become overly emotional. He has faith that they found each other once, they can do it again

Agreed. his whole character has been reduced to Emma (which I admit worries me sometimes). He has history with Rumple and with Neal. He helped GOAT kidnap Regina. Why aren’t these things being addressed? (I loved Regina’s “I still haven’t forgotten about that” in 311. I cheered and yelled “well at least someone hasn’t!)
Regina was speaking for a LOT of fans when she said she hadn’t forgotten about that and I REALLY need them to step up and make Hook pay for the stuff he’s done to everyone. Seriously. 🙁
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again even though I know it sounds horrible….this show could absolutely go on just fine story wise if they got rid of Hook but they’ve all ready shown how many characters would be affected negatively if Neal’s gone. Hook is always on the outside; he’s is a much more interesting character when he’s not fawning over someone who clearly isn’t as into him as he is into her and it’s sad that he’s come to that right now. Triangles of Doom….destroying characters one by one since the dawn of television, and if this triangle does anything like that to Emma or Neal, which it hasn’t yet, then I’m leading the fan revolt to Adam & Eddy’s houses and they will know for sure how annoyed we are by the writing.
Neal and Emma are definitely going to have one more thing to bond over when they reunite…she’s going to understand way better what it feels like to give up everything you love because it’s part of something much bigger that saves everyone else. The only difference for her is that she’s with Henry. That type of sacrifice and their past history isn’t something she’s been able to talk to him about yet but she will for sure be able to see his perspective a lot better after this experience. I will rage and storm Vancouver if they don’t cover this with Emma & Neal at some point in this second half of S3. Seriously, there are all ready SO MANY ISSUES between these two people….why did we need the Triangle of Doom??! 🙁
