Still have no idea how this Robin arc is going to end, but it’s a good bet that EQ will stay in the wish world.
[adrotate group="5"]Matt is right. I invite you over to the Captain Hook Discussion thread, Michael if you should need to see how others feel about Hook or more approrately the “Why is Hook Such A Divisive Character” thread. You are entitled to your view. But you cannot deny that Hook is a divisive character, in a way that Regina is not. You not liking her arc doesn’t take away that she is actually serving a purpose to move the story/season forward. But we can talk about that elsewhere. Links to threads:

Regina is very much a divisive character like Hook. Many people love her and just as many people hate her. It doesn’t help that Regina is a character that gets white washed a lot of her crimes, like the rape and murder of Graham for instance. And then she holds Zelena to some impossible standard when she literally has done the same if not worst things then her sister. However she doesn’t want to admit to them or the writers don’t want her too, and it makes her come off not in the best way.
<p style=”box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;”>Also, adding something to a previous talk, but not talking more bc MP and RG don`t deserve to have their nerves up high bc of this, but CS doesnt have on a relationship for 4 years, yes 4 years or seasons since they meet, but the real relationship is only from end S3,which in show time line is around 6 months top, is the same time that baby Neal is born, so is not 4 years,in fact if we take the 1 year that Emma passed in NY, CS know each other less than one year, in fact i woukd say 9 months and date at 6months in total, and this actually is one of the problems of the show as well, if they just admited that each season is one year, maybe this fandom would not be so crazy, bc would mean that lots of things would have happen in all these years offscreen, meaning as well that lots of these characters would have bonded in btw and certain relationships would not look weird, OOC and Henry could actually have a age closer than Jared age is now.</p>

Bottom line, this is a story we’ve been seeing grow and develop for 4 years/seasons now. That’s what is relevant. The timeline on this show is one of it’s main weaknesses.</p>
yet the character that has become overwhelming and claustrophobic to many viewers is Regina cause she’s literally been in almost every single scene of this season in some form and has over 3 hrs of screentime while other characters are nowhere near that level
You mean one of the main characters and fan favorites since the beginning of the show has tons of screentime? Hmmm? <del></del>There’s a huge difference between regina time on screen and hooks. Regina is actually doing something, having an arc, contributing to the story. Outside of emma, hook isnt adding anything to the story. He centers entirely around her. This is not about being anti-CS or anti-hook. The last time Hook was actually a major part of the story was when he was Dark One and i heavily enjoyed that. But a lot of us dont like constantly having to watch Hook because hea just not doing anything relevant. CS adventure is going to be rhe same spiel no matter what way it goes.
Hook is just as much a fan fav as Regina, and that’s coming from somebody with intel that hates Hook no less.
He has an arc with Charming as well as likely more to do with Nemo and Liam as well as the CS adventure whatever that is.
Many characters have been shoved in the background this half because of the massive focus on Regina, even Emma has been shelved for her. Emma’s plot has been sitting on the backburner because of the Regina plot and it’s now finally coming back in the forefront in 6B.
Regina’s arc is horrible. Okay placing the blame game on her evil deeds cause of the EQ is stupid and not to mention hypocritical that she talks that way to Zelena. She must not recall what she did to the likes of Graham and Snow’s mother.
And I’m sorry but this arc with the EQ is probably the weakest of the show. It’s gone absolutely nowhere, it’s only led to nauseating scenes with Rumple that thankfully are over with and EQ acting like an over the top clown. She’s no longer the scary figure from the S1, she’s become very campy and cartoonish.
Many people don’t like seeing two Regina’s suck up all the screentime either.
If we had the same assurance about the waste of time spent on Emma and Hook then it wouldn’t be so bad. Also, Emma being the main character and being overly centered on Hook because he has no connections to any of the other characters is a very big problem for the show.
CS has been a relationship on going for four years now, if you honestly think it’s been a waste of time spent on a 4 year relationship of development… I don’t know what’s the point for you. I also disagree with Hook’s connections. It’s clear that every member of Emma’s family has grown fond of him. Henry likes him, Charming said “he’s growing on him”, Snow just wants Emma happy, and she knows Hook makes her happy. He also is a great friend to Belle now, which is a heck of a development.

The same is not true of Hook.</p>
This is the biggest load of crock I’ve ever heard. If Regina shared her screentime with literally every other main character then all the other main characters on this show…Snow, Charming, Emma, Hook, Henry, etc they would have a decent amount of screentime.
Instead Regina is hovering over 3 hours while every other character has not even close to a hundred minutes. That does not at all indicate that Regina is sharing screentime with everyone, in fact it says the opposite.
In general, there’s clearly a very big ugly double standard in this fandom. If Hook was the one with three hours of screentime this season while everyone else was at the other levels the amount of bashing and hate flung at the writers would be consistent. But since it’s Regina, there’s not even a peep from the crowd. Do you know what that is called? It’s called, being a hypocrite.
And yet the character that has become overwhelming and claustrophobic to many viewers is Regina cause she’s literally been in almost every single scene of this season in some form and has over 3 hrs of screentime while other characters are nowhere near that level.
But it’s all about Hook still, whom has 90 minutes of screentime? I don’t follow that logic.
For those interested, the first week without OUAT saw the broadcast premiere of Frozen in our time slot. They did 1.7 in demo.
It’s Frozen, so of course it would do well.
I suspect the CS adventure will also be the Jaladdin centric. Though I’m hoping this doesn’t mean the Aladdin story is wrapped up in one episode? On the other hand it’s gonna be hard to have the Aladdin story with the Gideon and black fairy story.. k mean, which one is more predominant in 6b?
They could have CS with Jaladdin in Agrabah for an episode or 2 and the SB characters dealing w/ the Black Fairy.
Don’t forget this “epic adventure for CS with romance, passion, and action” I’m sure that’s gonna be a centric. Unless of course this thing they’re promoting for CS is the season finale. Which I’m not sure because I doubt they’ve written that far ahead.
I’m think the so called CS adventure could be related to the Aladdin and Jasmine storyline. We know that Nemo is coming back for reportedly more than one episode starting with 614, so maybe they use his sub to get to Agrabah?
Isn’t the rumor going around that CS would go to Agrabah with Jaladdin?
So, this seems to be the rundown of centrics for 6B so far: 611 – Emma 612 – Charming 613 – Rumple 614 – Regina and Robin 615 – Aladdin and Jasmine I’m guessing down the line we’ll also get a centric for Zelena, a centric for Hook (612 involves him, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he got a centric to himself too), a centric for Snow, and possibly a centric for Belle. That would take us through 619, leaving 620-622 to wrap up the Season and possibly a set up Season 7 (if they believe they’re getting renewed).
Don’t forget this “epic adventure for CS with romance, passion, and action”
I’m sure that’s gonna be a centric.
Unless of course this thing they’re promoting for CS is the season finale. Which I’m not sure because I doubt they’ve written that far ahead.
Possibly if there’s a S7 but if there isn’t it’ll go off without a hitch and then after the wedding they’ll FF to like a couple years later and Henry is reading the book at Emma’s B-day party to all the next get of fairy tails. All the kids of all the couples, Robin, CS baby, Neal, etc they all listen while everyone is in the back listening.
Probably the best way to end this show. Full circle to the pilot.
