I am very curious to se how they work Hook’s backstory. In the book, Hook was Blackbeard boatswain and that is how he learned about pirating. It would be a nice call back to the source material. There is a new movie about Peter Pan with Hugh Jackman as the villainous Blackbeard and garrett hedlund as the young hero Hook.
I didn’t know that either! So perhaps Blackbeard really is Blackbeard, not his actual father. Earlier in the chat, Stelio suggested that we might see a take on “Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson, in which the cabin boy, Jim Hawkins, is befriended by the galley chef, who turns out to be none other than the dreaded pirate Long John Silver. While I like this notion of Killian Jones having once been like Jim Hawkins and Blackbeard be a stand-in for Long John Silver, I was a bit opposed to the idea, not because I don’t like it, but because of his own canonical history.
Based on 3×5, Killian Jones appeared to be an upright young man, around age 20, who was first mate of the royal navy under the command of his respectable older brother, Captain Liam Jones. Despite being fatherless, Killian had the benefit of being mentored by Liam, who as we know, was no pirate. So, that would mean any secondary pirate mentor figure who came into Killian Jones’ life would have to have done so after he went rogue, and when he was older than the age of a cabin boy. Pirate Jones might’ve come across Blackbeard either as a foe or a mentor. It remains to be seen whether Hook and Blackbeard are opposed against one another or allied together.
In the fourth movie installment of POTC, On Stranger Tides, Jack Sparrow becomes part of the crew of Blackbeard’s ship The Queen Anne Revenge. Jack and Blackbeard are at odds when Jack tries to commit mutiny. They end up searching for the Fountain of Youth, which requires the tear of a mermaid. Since we know Ariel is returning for this episode, it makes me wonder if the inspiration for The Jolly Roger isn’t in someway inspired by that film. Blackbeard, mermaids pirates. It kind of fits what we know so far about 3×17.

Joanna Garcia did say in the video clip that she expected she’d have legs, not fins. So, I think we can say that Ariel will be appearing in her human form in 3×17.

(ADR = Automated/Automatic Dialogue Replacement) – Sounds to me like he could be adding his voice to a scene or re-recording a the audio of a scene. Wizard of Oz I say!
I think we can be pretty sure now that Chris Gorham was in 3×16 (as if it wasn’t already obvious given the photos of him on set).

Which does Neal prefer: modern clothing or fairytale attire?
What was Neal’s profession in NYC? Why the suit?
Does Neal still sketch or paint for fun? Professionally?
Did Neal ever visit Tallahassee?

What if Keck was wrong about the wedding being at the end of the season? Instead of Eriel getting married at the end of the season, they get married NOW on Hook’s ship? A sign that he’s moving on from whatever childhood trauma he suffered at the hands of a mermaid?
Hmmmmm. Maybe, but why? What connection do Hook and Ariel have, or for that matter Eric and Hook? We need to be on the lookout whether Gil McKinney is returning to Vancouver.
