ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
Oh, you won’t have to worry about that. It’s only a matter of time before Regina goes bad again. Also, for Rumpel. I just love this show, but never had a favorite character until now. I feel really strongly about my belief that the writers should keep Hook on board. If they don’t they’ll break a lot of hearts. They’ve make a lot of viewers very happy with him, and I don’t like the thought that the writers don’t consider their viewers when making decisions. ABC has something great going with Hook. I just hope they don’t wave that steak under their viewers noses, and then rip it away. Seems a bit cruel, to me. I know this is just a show but when someone commits their viewership to it (becomes a fan), they become a part of it. We viewers are not rag dolls to play around with, and the perception that we are seen that way is demoralizing.
My question is as to whether the writers will be keeping Hook be staying on the show. Even given everything that has happened, I still see potential for his character to evolve. He’s like a Russian Nesting Doll. The possibilities are endless. I really hope they keep him.
I would say there’s definitely room for redemption and forgiveness. Remember: Hook didn’t kill Aurora. He must have taken her heart while she was knocked out, because she didn’t seem too traumatized. Ultimately, I think Hook is still trying to get revenge while trying to align circumstances to his advantage. He does seem to genuinely care about Emma in some way, and so I think his taking Aurora’s heart was merely a tactical move. I don’t think he intended to really hurt her, nor do I believe he would let Cora kill her.
Is this still the case, O’Donoghue being a regular? Somebody on ABC’s board said the creators plan to kill Hook off by the end of season 2. I hope not. Given the reaction fans are having to him, it seems like that’d be a terrible thing to do.
Definitely Emma. I just hope the writers keep him around long enough to tap that well of possibilities.
I really hope they don’t kill off Hook. I really like him, and a lof of other people do too. I hope they keep Hook on the show. Even now, there’s plenty of room to evolve, complicate, and utilize this character in a while world of ways. There is even still room for them to eventually turn Hook into a good(ish) guy. Not a missionary, but a good guy. I hope they’ll do that, and not throw all of this away.
