Morning fellow funsters!
Yo ho’s all around.
The “Nose Boop” solidified my affection for these two!
Hook, no matter what they do with his clothes, needs a dynamic look and a great jacket/coat with turned up collars. He is ruggedly “clothes-dramatic” and has to live up to his scruff!! His coloring begs for stark colors. He is a slighter fellow and the layered/bulkier stuff ads a bit of heft(grin). Blacks and whites, dark blues and true reds. The dark chocolate brown with white shirt worked for me as well :p
But his hook IS problematic.Longer sleeves a must, which in his case leads to open buttons, too! Should be a very interesting task for the costume designer.
But they gotta keep the guyliner (ha!)
I avoid posting in the character threads now. Sincere discussions by some are turned into agenda driven, histrionic soap box platforms by others. As with any fandom message board, some contributors aren’t actually participating, they just want to be argumentative and perpetually pissy.
hiatus times are always tough
It’s much more fun to accentuate the positive and rev up the sense of wit, wonder and humor.

He can always wear a fake hand too. But I get the feeling now, he’s not ashamed of his hook anymore. Notice how he used it a lot this season any chance he got? Rattle some berries in a bush? Poke a hole in a coconut for Emma? I really enjoy seeing Killian use that hook for the most mundane things. It’s silly but it’s cute too.
Then of course, if you’ve read my NC-17 fanfiction, it has other uses as well.
On the topic of Hook’s clothes, he should definitely keep his long leather coat. He could change his other clothes but it should be kept to a somewhat nautical style. But since Hook gave up the JR and in a sense the sea, maybe his clothing options should become less pirate and nautical and more land dwellerish.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixI wonder about the clothing because I remember A&E were really adamant about Hook NOT changing his clothes circa NYCS…I mean, ok yeah, seeing a pirate in present day NY may not be the most unusual thing you’ll see in that city, it’s still a pretty odd…and you’d think he could’ve picked up something a little different to wear along the way…so I wonder if they’re keeping him very specifically dressed in one particular outfit for a reason. It could be a nice way to visually show he’s no longer Hook but has completely re-embraced Killian.
If you watch Sleepy Hollow, they did an excellent few scenes addressing the main character’s period clothing – it was hilarious. I would definitely want Hook to remain Hook, even in modern day clothes. The coat HAS to stay. I can see Hook getting into that “trendy but doesn’t look like he’s trying to be trendy I’m just that hot” look – he’s got to remain devilishly handsome after all!!
Hmmmm, Hook in modern clothing. Can’t really see it unless they can come up with something really creative. He still needs to look dangerous, which is part of his appeal. Dark wash/black jeans with biker boots and an open collared shirt maybe, but the coat has to stay. Spike managed to pull off the badass look on Buffy with the leather and jeans, Killy can knock it out of the park.
I’m hoping The Jolly Roger isn’t gone! I can still see where they would need a vessel for escape or transportation. And if there were beans to be traded, then someone is probably out there with more beans and his ship.
It would be a mighty fine adventure to go recapture her for Hook. His crew would be ready and willing to re-board her as well. The entire season can’t be all Elsa (crossing my fingers) and while the triangle focus will shift to Regina (thank you very much), methinks the new duo could incorporate some nifty high seas shenanigans.

Haha, actually, I can see Henry being one to set a search for the JR in motion. “Real life” pirate, swashbuckling kind of stuff, and Emma even getting into it because she realizes getting the JR back is an amazing way to show Killy how she feels (because we know she’s going to struggle with those words!). And he hasn’t been to the Enchanted Forest yet! I say the CaptainCobraSwan set off on their own story and leave the others to deal with Elsa and co.
Ok, so there’s a thread going but I know not all of us visit the other threads, but I’m curious so I’ll pose the question here – headcannons for S4? Things you’d like to see happen? (CS and not CS) What’s your opinion about the whole Elsa/Frozen thing – is she going to be a villain? I kind of think she’s a misdirect – if I recall, isn’t she only actually supposed to be in about 9 of the 13 episodes in 4A? I haven’t seen Frozen but from what I hear, I can’t imagine she’d be considered a villain, unless it’s something like the town thinks she’s evil and learns they were wrong and there’s no big bad at all?
Not really CS related, but I thought I’d post this here just to see if there was any interest in tumblr users seeing the results of, or participating in this arbitrary poll. I enjoy Screwball’s ( mostly) snarky posts and while I don’t agree with everything she puts out there, she is pretty astute and manages to find some sanity in the midst of shipper drama. I was reading the notes to see what the initial objections were to the S3 finale and surprisingly (sarcasm) Neal or rather, the lack of Neal, was the primary complaint.

Yup, Jenna…I’m hoping Henry gets some good adventures. He was a sweet little ten year old but “tweeners” are as extremely hard to deal with on TV as they are in real life. I can’t see them turning him into a disrespectful, wise-cracking mass of pubescent hormones, though he could be a fun foil for Hook’s snark (“Why are you wearing THAT?”) but they have to give him something meatier than the third wheel symbol of hope he was in S3-b.
Bae was always wracked with dark intensity, quick temper and grief. Henry has been the polar opposite.
Little Roland is there to fill the “adorable” space, so maybe they will allow Henry some EF rollicking adventure. He was just too oddly doltish in Neverland. A lot depends on how tall he has grown over break and if his voice has ‘cracked’ yet!
Lola…I’ve read some of Screwball’s posts over time and my appreciation of the witty snark often trumps any differing personal opinions. (If people don’t believe/like what I do, bottom line, so be it, live and let live…harm to none, just be relatively mature about it)
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip that was the finale! Flaws, oops, giggles, sighs, lip snacking, one-liner gems, guy liner sultry-ness, multilayered way too fake eyelashes and everything else.
I’m so done with the whinier of the”Neal” complaints. The too religiously self-righteous of The Saint Neal Brigade have driven their inability to deal with the reality of TV Character script death into a very muddy ditch.
Considering the epic span of character possibilities the finale could never satisfy totally. There was a disconnect between the set-up of the seasonal Wicked vs Evil theme and it was as if there were three parts to the whole season. A,B and Finale.
Too much story to be told from these creators’ brains to fit into network TV’s dumbed down demands and commercial interruption presentation problems (repeat three times and click your remotes…CABLE would be better…Cable would be better…CABLE would be…oh well)
They set up the whole “finding home” for Emma in the opener and tied it into Dorothy/OZ, which was cool, but then they shifted the focus to the Green Meanie and Regina, effectively putting a cloak of invisibility over the whole Emma Finding Home theme…until they told that story in the Finale. (Even with the double episode there were frustrating gaps)
It was a massive undertaking and edgy territory. Just way too much story to tell. They don’t fill in enough of the blanks, even with momentary one liners in the script that theoretically tie everything together in hindsight/foresight/no sight.
That is the very basic problem for writers like A&E. It is what it is and that is what we will always get with them. If, by now, fans haven’t figured that out and learned to deal with it, they are as …dumb as a box of hair (heh)
You just have to ride the roller coaster and embrace the mind rattling, spine destroying, stomach losing, teeth loosening, ear popping, eye rolling, brain dislodging ridiculous chaos of ONCE or go hop in a rowboat for “It’s a Small World”
