LOL! Flaming swan is a type of firebird. And the firebird is a phoenix which rises from the ashes. 🙂

Best present ever?

Wonderful

From Schmacky

“I spent many years in Neverland – home of the Lost Boys. They all share the same look in their eyes… The look you get when you’ve been left alone.”

Captain Hook says this to Emma shortly after meeting her during their climb up the beanstalk.

He’s seen this look on the Lost Boys. What lost boy did he spend the most time with? What lost boy did he hear directly from about his abandonment? This kid right here:

Bae talking about his father abandoning him.

Bae finding out his mother had actually abandoned him.

Bae realizing Captain Hook is betraying and abandoning him.

Who is this boy?

“You were a lost boy.”

Just saying.

That is why I think the Captain Hook – Neal interactions are still forthcoming, at least I hope so. There is so much potential, and I think that the writers might be saving the best for last. According to Colin O’Donoghue, Hook still sees Neal as Milha’s son, whom he cares about in a paternal way.

Colin O’Donoghue: That relationship with Baelfire is very complicated. Hook really would have given up everything to be a father figure to Baelfire, and I think that even now, hundreds of years later, he still sees him as that little boy, and still holds him quite dear. Even though he gave him up to the Lost Boys, if Baelfire had turned around said, “I want to stay,” he would have done everything in his power to keep him. At the end of the day, Hook really truly loved Baelfire’s mother Milah and he still sees the mother in the boy. So it would be complicated, but I would be interested to see how he would react to that. [x]

Although Hook continues to act selfishly by trying to insert himself between Neal and Emma, I keep hoping that Hook will eventually do right by his so-called son figure. The fact is, it’s hard for him to change after hundreds of years as a pirate. We can’t expect him to totally become honorable overnight, can we? He still hasn’t honored the “bro-code” of not vying for the same woman as your “good friend” or son figure. But just maybe, it’s a lesson he’ll learn by the end of the season.

Colin O’Donoghue: “He’s quite different; he’s struggling with whether or not he should try to become this new person or not and that’s difficult for him because I think there’s a part of him that wants to try to do the right thing, but he’s been living with this hatred and revenge for hundreds of years, so it’s tough to let go of. That’s a real struggle for him.” [x]

Last autumn, Colin O’Donoghue gave an interview about why things are “complicated” and why the Hook-Swan-Cassidy dynamic is not your traditional love triangle:

In it we will see a younger version of him that may not be expected– but will it inform why he relates as much as he does to Emma (Jennifer Morrison)?

“I think the relationship that they have is sort of complicated because they both care deeply for Baelfire. Emma loves him, you know, and Hook was willing to give up everything to become his step-father– that figure. And in the first episode you see that he has kept his sword. Remember that he would have had to have kept that sword for hundreds of years, and he says to her– ’cause she said ‘Obviously you guys were quite close’– and he said ‘I miss him, too’. And he was very, very genuine about that. They always saw an element of themselves in each other anyway, I think, from when they went up the beanstalk, but in particular this sort of thing you know is kind of, they’re not that dissimilar,” O’Donoghue said. [x]

I think that Colin O’Donoghue finds the entire situation between Hook-Emma-Neal to be quite frankly, odd.

The cat’s out of the bag about Emma and Hook’s kiss. Were you aware that this was where this particular storyline was going?
I think it was always sort of in the background, that there would be a thing [between Emma and Hook]. Hook and Emma have this kindred spirits kind of thing. They really see themselves in each other and there’s no denying that there’s a spark between the two of them. Where the complication comes in now is obviously Hook would have given up everything to be Baelfire’s father and still sees him a little bit as that boy. At the moment when they kiss, they don’t know that Neal is in Neverland and they don’t know that he’s alive. They think he’s dead. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when all that [comes out]. It’s a weird situation. Hook was with [Neal’s] mother and now he’s kissed his ex-girlfriend, the mother of his son [Henry], so it’s sort of a weird situation. (Laughs.) [x]

Goodness knows I find it bizarre that Hook, who seduced Bae’s mommy would go for Bae’s baby mama. To me, it’s conceptually just really repugnant that Hook, who could almost be Henry’s step-grandfather, would try to sleep with Henry’s mother. WEIRD! I can’t wait for Emma to finally learn the truth about Hook being the lover of Neal’s mother. PLEASE let her find out soon.
