1. What do you like about Hook?

2. What would you change about Hook?

3. Thoughts on how his story tied to Rumple as the crocodile?

4. Was Milah his true love?

5. How choppy are the waters for his relationship with Emma as we go into season 4?

1. What do you like about Hook?

His charm, his smile, his blue blue eyes.... *clears throat* Where were we? Oh yes, I also love his redemption arc. One of my favorite things about this show is that not all the "bad guys" started out that way. So it's totally in character, IMO, for him to fall in with the "good guys" and decide to redeem himself. It's one of the things I love about Regina too; she's trying to go back to being good, and if shippers can forgive her for murdering literally hundreds of people (and raping Graham/Huntsman), then I don't see why they can't forgive Hook for punching Belle. And that's all I'll say, 'cause I'm not here to start a ship war.

2. What would you change about Hook?

Can't think of a thing.

3. Thoughts on how his story tied to Rumple as the crocodile?

I didn't buy that Hook was somehow deeply in love with Milah, and I think she was selfish to leave her son, but otherwise, I don't mind that plot line.

4. Was Milah his true love?

No, see above. My head canon is that he only thought it was true love until he met Emma. ;)

5. How choppy are the waters for his relationship with Emma as we go into season 4?

I hope that while they'll have their problems to work through and might get separated at the hand of some curse/villain, they always end up together like Snow and Charming. But I'm bracing myself in case the writers split them up. And then I'll drown myself in fluffy CS fic.

1. his blue blue eyes.... *clears throat* Where were we?
Haha, yeah, his blue eyes are very distracting.

And I totally agree that if people can forgive Regina and Rumple for all the bad things they did (which was much worse than all the things Hook ever did) they should be able to accept Hook as a great like, as he was before he became a pirate.

5. I really hope that Hook and Emma will become and remain a couple on the show, just like Snow and Charming, as you said. However, I love Hook so much, so even if he was starting to date Red or Tink, I would enjoy their scenes.

THIS - In complete agreement with you, athousandsmiles and alexia-drake, regarding Killian's redemption arc. As you say, if Rumple and Regina can be forgiven for their violent past and crimes...then I think that Killian can be forgiven for any wrongs he committed (which are much lesser, if one compares to the other two characters). Even Belle on the series has forgiven him (which is very much in character for Belle).

And oh yes - those magnificent blue eyes of his (and let's not forget the roguish smile and the beautiful Irish accent). ♥

In the fan fic stories I've written about Killian and Emma, they are deeply in love.

But whatever the series writers eventually do, I will always love Killian as a character.

Obvioulsy! He makes me swoon/melt.

Same here. As long as he's on the show, I'll be happy no matter what the writers do to him :D
