You're so determined that the idea of Emma committing evil for the sake of Hook is off the wall that you cannot even grasp the idea that she's actually capable of evil. This article is a joke.

There have been some episodes where it actually did seem that Hook is different ("Jolly Roger", "Poor Unfortunate Soul", or even as recently as "Siege Perilous"), yet then he goes right back into selfish douchebag pirate mode in another episode. Why make him a Dark One when there was already a story to be told concerning his obvious schizophrenia?

They want their big bads to stay big bads because they find villainy more fascinating than they do heroism or even redemption; this is why the redemption of some of those characters is either through a plot device (Rumple and the Hat/Sword) or are non-existent (Hook, for me. We are told he's different but I don't remember seeing it).

That right there shows the problem, as does Rumple's murder and manipulation trophies that he keeps in his shop (including the dead wooden corpses of Gepetto's parents!), and Regina's vault full of hearts that to our knowledge has remained untouched rather than any hearts given back to their respective owners (assuming there are any still alive.) How do the writers and so many fans find these repulsive people worth sticking around town, let alone paired up with people who ought to be WAY too good for them?<br /><br />They should have either truly redeemed these characters, or killed them off (which could also be accompanied by redemption like it briefly was with Rumple before he was revived as his old horrible self.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
