    Seriously, why do they ALWAYS do this? Introduce a phrase and then use it 50 times an episode? It is so irritating.

    If there’s a S7, I’m kind of expecting that Emma is going to end up pregnant and that’s gonna be quite the baby.

    A baby not only born of true love but a Savior baby as well. That’s gonna be a very strong baby.

    Quote

    i think that would be the next logical step but i dont think so given what we know thus far about S7, which may focus on Adult Henry. I personally think Emma would adopt. I’d like that. But of course, the baby would turn out to be the child of an evil villain.

    “This isn’t the Force. There’s no need for Balance.”

     That sounds so dark xD but yeah, i dont agree or disagree with this. There are plenty of sites that very pro-CS and anti-SF (if not most of them). People can always go and find like minded folk if they wanted. I just dont want this forum to be branded as hate ful or intentionally anti-Hook all because the majority of peopel still floating around here are not fond of him.

    Does he do a lot of stuff simply so he can stay with Emma and be with her?  Yup, absolutely.  As he should.

    I dont feel he should do good things because thats what Emma would want. He should them because its the right thing to do. Im not saying its all he does either, i acknowledge that Hook has definetely done good things. Listing the good things isne the issue, its the bad things and lack of reprecussions he faces for it. There is still that nature about him that makes me question that if Emma walked away tomorrow, would he remain the way he is now, or would he revert back to pirate Hook? Remember when they were cursed back to the EF in….S4(?)…S3 (?). Hook did just that. In his mind, he was never going to see Emma again. So he abandoned her family and went right back to being a pirate. When i usually bring this up, CSers say “Well hes changed because he didnt sleep with that prostitute” and thats all fine and dandy but still.

    Hooks choices seem so Emma centered all the time. I dont feel that with any other character or ship on this show. Thats a bad thing. And now Emma is becoming that way too :/

    You are correct about getting zero repercussions for his behaviors though.  That is a problem and it reflects poorly on the show and perhaps that’s why people don’t like Hook bc he gets away with everything with zero backlash afterwards.  But that’s the show’s fault.  It’s nothing that Hook is doing to make you not like him.

    Exactly. 100% Agree.

    It also looks like Kate Middleton’s dress as well. Maybe they just wanted a authentic princess dress, cause Emma is a princess.

    Quote

    True but they could have given a dress that was more in line with Emma’s character. I felt the same with the dress she wore in Camelot. It doesn’t feel like Emma.

    In all seriousness, I would have preferred something similar to what they both wore in the time travel episode. Both their costumes embodies their personaility. Emma has the beautiful princess gown and tiara but it also has a flair, an edge to it, and Hook looks very dashing pirate. Gosh, I hope they don’t put hook in a normal tux.

    But yeah, I wonder if he knows how pro SF the forums truly are and how anti-Hook, anti-Emma, and anti-CS they are too.

     To be fair, Oncepodcast doesn’t endorse or denounce any ships, like Daniel.  The people can talk about any ship and their views here. The CS fans left this place because not everyone here wanted to agree with their opinions. No one was ran out. No one was forced out. They were numerous just like everyone else, including SF. They found greener pastures elsewhere I assume, where they could boast CS without hearing any criticism. And theres nothing wrong with that. But don’t act like its the forums fault, please.

    So I see this is getting back up, so I’ll join in and I hope this can all remain a peaceful convo and discussion, even if different. My views are more Hook based and less CS based for reasons I will say below.

    I guess my point is, the writers skipped Hook’s redemption arc so we never got to see his journey from point A to Point

    I gotta agree here. I feel like most of the other villains on the show that we see on a consistent basis have really had to work hard to go from villain to hero (or villain to neutral “not-villain”). But Hook just has it handed to him no matter what. He never deals with anything, he never faces reprecussions, he is easily forgiven, and nothing ever sticks no matter what. Regina has had to go through trials. Rump has had to go through trials. Look at what happened recently with the Hook and Papa Charming thing. Literally nothing.

    So now before someone says it: Im not denying Hook has not changed or that he has not done good things, I’m not denying he hasn’t become better person. But I don’t feel its genuine for a reason that @darkonedearie said in another thread: Its just for Emma.

    I don’t feel he has become this way because he wants to be, but because being any other way will push Emma away from him. I said in some other thread that Hook was selfish and even though Michael misconstrued it by saying that he has done things for Emma and that was exactly what I meant.  Everything he does he does for his own purposes, which are getting Emma to stay with him. Take her out of the picture and he reverts to who he is. He doesn’t care about other people around him (and now, not even Emma seems to care about others around her). CS doesn’t mesh well with everyone else in this show.

    Back in S2, I really enjoyed Hook. He had so much personaility, he  was fun, witty, and just added this new flavor to the show that was not present in the first season. I was a big Hook fan in S2, but it wasn’t until S3 that I got bored out of my mind with him. Once they made him Emma-centered, he became boring for everyone who was interested in any thing outside of Emma and Hook (and this is why I think a lot of CS fans get agitated. Hook is so heavily ship involved they cant see past that. Ive said it before, I don’t care that Hook and Emma are together. Hook has nothing going on and that’s why I’m not invested in his character. Everything that happens to hm eventually gets re-rounded back to being about Emma.)

    My perfect re-write of S3 would have been very Hook-Rumpel-Neal centered with Emma taking a back seat to that dynamic between that trio. Where we see Hook and Rumpel constantly trying not to go at eachothers necks for the past that they share because now they have a common enemy: Pan. Neal would have had conflicted feelings about Hook because despite the fact that he sold him away to Pan and stole his mother away, he perhaps may have felt some fatherly feelings toward Hook from the short time they spent together, and this of course would set Rumpel off because now he feels that not only is Hook responsible for him losing Milah in a way, but also that he may hold a spot in Bae’s heart. And of course with Neal and Hook, there would be Emma in the middle. But despite it all, I would have wanted Hook to cement himself as a hero by helping Rumpel defeat Pan.

    Because hes Captain Hook!

    What we got instead was nothing but man tears and ship wars and its been the same since. I want more from Hook as a character. If Once gets a 7rh season, now that he and Emma are engaged (and assuming they stay for the 7th) I would be interested in what more would be left for him. Because there is literally nothing left because he has Emma. Now what? He has nothing more to attain….

    Idk. Just rambling. Thoughts?

    Grace Kelly’s dress? So not only is it old fashioned, it’s also unoriginal.

    I think they should have taken inspiration from graces dress sure but cmon. This is such a big moment of Emma’s life. Her dress should have really been a marvel

    :/

    I think I always imagined Emma in something a bit more modern. No sleeves, not buttoned up, form fitting

    Emma should just get married in this:

    I’m really curious as to who is marrying them.

    My guesses: Archie, Blue Fairy, or Rumple.

    Imma say not Rumple. That would be….weird. Blue Fairy is a good guess, though. And if the Black Fairy is set on interrupting the wedding, then having Blue there is a bonus.

    Quote

    Yeah i think shes the best bet. But i feel the person doing the marrying should be someone close to Emma an Hook. Rump is technically that. But i honestly wouldnt have minded if it were Regina or somebody. But im guessing its blue for the reason you stated. I swear, if Black Fairy crashes this wedding i want Emma to angrily turn to her people and be like “So…no one was going to put a protection spell around my wedding? Get out. All of you.”
