    Remember in Queen of Hearts, where Cora tried to get Aurora to betray her friends by telling her that Prince Phillip isn’t dead; that his soul is just in another realm?

    What if what she meant wasn’t figurative? What if she wasn’t talking about heaven? What if:

    Philip is Hook?

    The reason I wonder: Philip was taken by a dark entity. What if the result had a consequence? What if that result was a matter of cause, and effect? What if the effect was for him to be “dark”, having been stained by darkness, and he took those stains with him; a part of that entity to where he went? I'm a big fan of Star Trek. There are episodes of TNG, which focused on time anomalies. What if Philip's soul is in Captain Hook? If that's the case, then what happened to Hook for this to take place? Was it possible for Philip's soul to go back in time, be born in Killian Jones, and have been in 2 places at once, until Philip was taken?

    Colin O'Donoghue portrayed Duke Philip of Bavaria with the actress who portrays Aurora, in another production. Wouldn't it be just like Once writers to build off of that in an unexpected and surprising way?

    Personally, I'm a Captain Swan shipper, and I don't believe in reincarnation. Still the same, this does make for some good story telling!

    There's more.

    With the curse, people have been moved from one place, to somewhere else. If the dark entity moved people as well, what if the dark entity/demon/whatever is a living result of the curse Regina imposed upon FTL? That might explain why they needed a savior. Not somebody to just break the curse in this world, but somebody who would be able to break the curse for everyone! That means she might have more curse-breaking to do in FTL.

    This seems pretty far fetched even for Lost writers. 🙂 I think that there must be some truth to what Cora said…some…not all. I don’t see them combining characters that way. I don’t see anything to suggest that Phillip is in Hook. There would probably be a battle between the two souls inside his body and we would see a change in personality if the souls were battling it out. Hook has been a very consistent character in this show.

    These writers are known for their nods to things they like…Stephen King, Lost, etc but building off another show would be too close to plagiarism and not something I would see them doing at all. I like Hook being Hook and leaving his other character portrayals where they belong…in other shows. 🙂

    Maybe we should leave some stuff to Star Trek. 😉

    ¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
