Bringing this over from the old thread:

I don't think the writers had the intention of giving us Sleeping Hook. I don't know why though, seeing as Sarah and Colin light up the screen together. It would've been a more prudent choice than Captain Swan.

I think also too that the writers should've drew out the FTL stuff more. To resolve it in 9 episodes was a bit anti-climatic. I would've much preferred if Emma and Mary Margaret didn't make it back to SB until the season finale.

But that's just me.

YES new thread I'm happy we were given something postive to end the first half of the season and hopefully it will get us through Aurora's absence,

If I had been writing the show, Aurora and Hook would've been stuck in FTL all by themselves.

KeepThisaSecret

YES!

I squeed when he caught her heart. I wonder if he had the intention of giving it back at some point? Also him brushing his "soft side" for Aurora aside because it was not a "fair fight" was rubbish and doesn't make much sense.

He likes her, just admit it Hook! :p

LilMouse

and then the show would've been put on HBO

I like thinking that Aurora was his favorite of the 4, and he found her to be the sweetest.

I still don't get what was meant by the fair fight thing.

KeepThisaSecret

He does like her. I think that's a big part of why he tries to stay away from her so much. He kind of focused in on Emma because she seemed like an easy target, but ultimately he knew nothing would come of their flirtation. With Aurora it could be something more. She might make him feel something. I believe that's why he was a little harsh with her in the cave. He didn't want to be nice to her because he did just steal her heart, and he probably felt bad about it. When he lunged back to save her heart he could have easily fallen in that sink hole, but he risked it. He couldn't let her go on with out it.

LilMouse

This is so perfect I want to frame it. The others are easy to get a desired reaction out of: anger.
But I think Aurora is more of an enigma who won't simply be angry at him, but end up making him feel something.




If Hook didn't set Aurora free, if he didn't take her heart, what do you think Cora would've done with her? Do you think his horrible horrible scum action of taking her heart actually was the lesser of two evils and kept her alive in the end?

AmayaS25

I like to think Hook did have or rather does have a soft spot for Aurora. She was the only person who was willing to to trust that he may have been telling the truth and she was ready to risk her life going up the Beanstalk with him just so that the others could go on.

I think Hook took notice of all that.


She was an innocent and even though I'm sure he'd rationalize trying to steal her heart as a necessary evil but I do think he always had the intention of making sure she got it back.

I see Hook as a guy who will do anything to get his revenge, but won't kill or hurt someone unless it's *absolutely* necessary (in fact, isn't that how a lot of countries and governments work?). If he sees an opening to "set something right" he'll do it (giving Aurora her heart back). Not that this makes his actions of assaulting Belle or anything else he's ever done better, he's still a bad guy, but not evil in the sense of Rumpel & Cora are.

KeepThisaSecret

^ This is exactly how I feel.

LilMouse

That's why when he took her heart I was like REALLY! REALLY! She was the only one to give him the benefit of the doubt, and even after they found out his real identity is probably the only one who'd help him if say they got attacked by Ogres, and then he takes her heart. But I don't think he'd let harm come to her again. I can probably see him helping her out with things if she made it to SB.

Totally agree Concordia
Still not a fan of him slapping Belle, but Rumpel/Regina got more kicks out of hurting people than Hook did.

TFTNT! It's funny how Hook gives us a new title every time we need a new thread

That's also what I'm hoping for

I would not have minded that at all, and I wanted all four women to go on adventures together which revolved around more than just getting back to Storybrooke, and something a bit more complicated than what we got. Could have seen a lot more individual character development, in addition to seeing the "Disney Princesses" work together. I've always thought it could be interesting with cross-over fairytales so it was really a missed opportunity IMO. Though I know, people were anxious to see the Charmings reunited.

Haha, and then sexy!times.

I'm not sure either because there was nothing unfair about his fight with Emma for one, second, there couldn't have been an even more unfair "fight" when he hit Belle so it was complete nonsense. IMO, he just wanted to cover for the fact that he risked losing the fight for Aurora's heart

Quite possibly actually. Because while Cora thought Emma/Snow would exchange the compass, Hook knows better because Emma abandoned him just to be on the safe side. However, it still doesn't excuse his actions of course.

I agree. But I do think it goes beyond just wanting to right a wrong. As it has been pointed out previously, for him to have noticed the moment her heart was on danger, he must have had it on his mind the whole time. So I think he definitely always planned on giving it back, and I definitely think there is some subtext there for him to be willing to risk everything to save her heart. We saw how he treated Belle - who was "useless" to him. Aurora was essentially also useless to him at that point... so why risk everything he had worked so hard for (and his own life) to save the heart? Because she means something to him. I don't see how it can be read any other way.

Also loved that Matrix move and thought we could make another title out of it:

Because Hook pulled a Matrix-move to save her heart

I would be your biggest fan Victoria

Wow, this is obnoxious
