Colin’s flippin’ hot. Very swoonable. It’s okay. You can like him AND Bobby. It’s legal.
Absolutely! Let’s face it, OUAT is pretty good about casting hot guys and every guy has their turn in the rotation for their moments of hotness. It may not be something is seen often (or nearly as often as we’d like…) but they do have their moments.
Think back to the pilot for a second…Charming had one of the best swordfights I have ever seen and a lot of us were swooning over him after that scene with baby Emma in one arm and a sword in the other. I know for myself personally, Rumple didn’t do a whole lot in that ep other than be a little creepy – Bobby is brilliant, but seriously he was creepy in that first ep before seeing any of the other stuff – and look how that changed over time!
Most of them, even the villains, have had their moments of brilliance and hotness and doing something ridiculously wonderful that makes us swoon and then we go back to making a more informed (and somewhat torn at times) decision about what we think or feel regarding them and we see the LAYERS. (They all have tons!)
We haven’t gotten to see many of the layers of Hook yet because we started out with him literally at the end of his Killian Jones days and other than watching the woman he loved die in front of him and vowing revenge on Rumple, we haven’t gotten much of that. He’s had tiny little moments along the way, but not enough to where people who don’t like the character can say “yeah that was hot” other than just pics of the actor. There’s more to Hook than meets the eye (same goes for ALL the characters we’re given) it just takes longer for it to show with some than others. Can’t wait to see reactions when people are a little more torn over hating him so it at least gets dialed down a notch, even if he’s still not completely lovable to some.
I know Rumple took awhile to grow on people too, especially with some of the stupid stuff he does occasionally (major GRR), but if he can be defended / shown to have wonderful swoon-worthy moments….then so can any of the others. Looks like Hook’s turn is up next!
I STILL want to know what thing stick thing is! I don’t remember anything like that in any of the Peter Pan mythology I’ve seen but I’m planning on going to watch / read a lot of that in the near future if only to hunt for clues / deal with all the feelings after SSTTR & ASOTM. *sigh*
I like the idea that the stick might control the shadow (and if so, who is controlling Felix?). Not sure if it can turn him into anything but it’s definitely an interesting idea. So many questions!
*goes back to studying the photos for more clues – my jaw seriously dropped with how much was in there even though the first few were pretty much expected*

MysteryKat25ParticipantJasmine I agree 100%
Seriously at this point I’m trying to remain calm and lower my expectations back to 1 step above despair so that I will be happy with whatever we do get but…
I still want people to at least see a different side of him and be a little torn and see WHY the CS fans see something in him. I really think putting him in scenes with a kid (especially a kid that grows up to be someone most Hook-haters love) will go a long way with helping see him in a different light.
He most definitely is a hero in the body of a villain! He just has to be!
Now, where are those interviews we were promised?? *chomping at the bit*
Keeper of Hook's Trenchcoat.
MysteryKat25ParticipantBecause you are an excellent forum moderator RG! (And you know that even in the most random of threads hide an occasionally brilliant idea of something, even if it’s not where it started sometimes…lol)
Now, I have another question….WHAT is the thing in Felix’s hand? And what exactly does it do?
I agree, Bae will be friends with Hook, not Felix…the guy is after him for some reason (a kid that got away from the shadow is now being hunted by this random guy in a cloak with something in his hand? what the heck is going on??)
Keeper of Hook's Trenchcoat.
MysteryKat25ParticipantCould be…unless Felix is just a stand-in name like Rufio for “the Pan” – either way I’m not liking the looks of Felix at the moment though. And the fact that SOMETHING put Bae on the ceiling to avoid him tells me he is bad bad news.

MysteryKat25Participant*faints*
Some of the stills from that collection are gaining people who are at least swooning over Hook (hey, it’s a step in the right direction, I’ll take what I can get) even though they’re staying true to their character / ship. That’s just with PICTURES!
RG here are some more cookies if you’re looking *passes them out*
If pictures alone (within the context of the show, not just pretty Colin pictures) can get Hook even a tiny bit of goodwill based on what the pictures suggest might happen with the Hook & Bae bonding!!! imagine what the actual show will give us! *fingers crossed*

MysteryKat25ParticipantMaybe it’s like with Wendy being 19 in real life…they’re hoping they can pull off the younger look with the right clothes etc and then we might see them again older at a later time?
No, RG, you are not (it is perfectly normal and absolutely sane. Welcome to the club!) I’m sure many of us (myself included) feel that way about Rumple too. No worries. 🙂
Interesting idea about him doing that. Not sure how / why he’d have magic but it would be interesting if it manifested itself out of sheer panic.
If he DOES have magic than he either found a way to get rid of it or has done an amazing job at not letting himself use it, even to protect the people he cares about in modern day. If he did manage to get rid of it though (and/or majorly control it to where he never even thinks to use it) I could see that being a positive side down the road for both Rumple & Regina.
*mumbles something about Neal reminding me of Daniel and being ok with a future Neal/Regina relationship if done right down the road…wayyyyy down the long and winding road*

MysteryKat25ParticipantI agree Demileto – I’m so much looking forward to seeing a positive Hook & Bae relationship it’s not even funny anymore and it could definitely be Hook’s turning point!
Keeper of Hook's Trenchcoat.
MysteryKat25ParticipantI like the way you’re thinking KFChimera! And it definitely looks like Hook is protecting Bae! *cheers*
It’s being more fully discussed over here: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=3898&start=160 if anybody wants to join in, just wanted to mention it in the CS thread to give us some hope about positive Hook stuff that could lead to positive CaptainSwan stuff too if we’re right!
It’s the Sneak Peaks 222!! thread, starting on page 17 (not sure if I linked it exactly right or not).

MysteryKat25ParticipantRG you are most certainly not alone!
I’m hoping that this different side of him we’re supposed to see in this ep will at least make Hook-haters a little more torn (it’s ok to say you’re strangely attracted to somebody you don’t want to be, even if you love someone else more…it will be ok *passes out cookies*)
I definitely think that’s Felix and he’s older-looking than I expected for some reason but I do think that Hook is protecting Bae. These lost boys really are “sinister” aren’t they?
I thought it looked like he was levitating at first too Phee! The kid must be good at (very quickly) finding a way up to the rafters and then holding on for dear life by wedging himself up there in such a way…either that or somebody around there has magic that shoved him up there and told him to be quiet. That picture seems so….odd.
Keeper of Hook's Trenchcoat.
MysteryKat25ParticipantSeems very likely RG! Wasn’t there something in the press release maybe about a group of lost boys that were hunting Bae down…or did I totally imagine that? In that case…it explains the image of Bae on the ceiling and Hook keeping his cool (or so it seems) when what’s his name (is that Felix? – based on the next pic) is there probably looking for Bae.
