404: Sneak Peeks (1 and 2)

Idle hand 🙂

I think Hook gets what he deserves with the cursed hand

Really? So you think it was totally cool for Rumple to cut it off in the first place?

Rumple wasn’t right to cut of his hand but neither was Hook right to bully those he thought were weaker than him. Two wrongs don’t make a right. In context though, the reason Rumple cut off his hand wasn’t because he wanted hook to be handless, he cut it off because he thought that was the hand that Hook was holding the magic bean in- the magic bean that would’ve enabled Rumple to travel to a land without magic to find Baelfire. Hook didn’t know it but he was standing between Rumple and his son and that was a dangerous position to be in.

My point was about Hook and how he behaved in that scene. We all know Hook and Rumple are never going to be best buddies, if they want to antagonise each other that’s their choice. However there is an innocent third person in this whole situation and that’s Belle. Rumple’s lies are going to hurt Belle, we know this and RUMPLE knows this hence why he’s trying to keep it secret. Hook, on the other hand is using that as a threat. In my book, that makes HOOK as equally bad, if not more worse than Rumple. Hook doesn’t care about Belle’s feelings at all, he’s using Belle as a bargaining chip. He is using Rumple’s feelings for Belle against him and that has Hook skating very close to season 2 territory IMO. If Hook really cared for Belle as a person, he would either tell her outright or he would keep quiet citing that he made a deal with Rumple to help Elsa in exchange for his silence. Hook should not be threatening to cause emotional distress to Belle the moment that he no longer gets what he wants out of Rumple.

Also Rumple warned Hook about the hand, even though he could’ve quite easily sent Hook on his way with no warning whatsoever and let him find out about the hand later in the evening, and Hook’s response was to laugh in Rumple’s face and say “I’ve changed, you haven’t”. Rumple at least acknowledged that Hook had changed, Hook could’ve at least extended him the same courtesy because Rumple HAS changed, if he hadn’t, Hook certainly wouldn’t have been in any position to go on a date with Emma because he would’ve either been dead or worse. Hook is playing with fire, it’s inevitable that he’s going to end up getting burned.

Hook wasn’t the nicest pirate back in the day, even before he stole Rumple’s wife and publically humiliated the man….

I have to leave for a dinner thing pretty much right now, but I just had to point out that as a major Regina fan, I find your saying “what goes around comes around” to be quite…ironic, shall I say? 😛

Also, by that logic…Rumple deserved what he got after the way he treated Milah (including publicly humiliating her as well).

Yeah….believe me….Regina and Rumple already paid the price for their sins, so I’m not even about to go off into that. But what has Hook paid? And do tell how Rumple publically humiliated Milah….did he leave her and their son for some sword swinging female pirate? Rumple treated Milah with love while he was human…she’s the one who treated him like an animal.

I agree. Hook hasn’t really suffered any consequences for his actions.
