‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3, episode 17 preview: Colin O’Donoghue’s Hook, ‘The Jolly Roger’
Tonight’s “Once Upon a Time” was an example of fine storytelling, as “It’s Not Easy Being Green” was a great explanation of where Rebecca Mader’s Zelena came from, what her goals are, and just what she needs in order for her to be successful in her plan.
So why go from this to a story largely geared around Captain Hook? This is something that “The Jolly Roger” will hopefully answer when it airs on ABC next Sunday. In the promo that aired after the episode, we were promised a story that will feature Hook in serious danger after he tries to go toe-to-toe with the Wicked Witch. Also, expect more in the way of his life aboard the ship, his feelings towards Emma, and he is trying to do to win her over.
Do we feel like Hook is going to be completely aggressive when it comes to winning her heart? Not really. He is an intelligent, crafty sort, and he knows not to be too aggressive when she is in mourning. With that being said, though, it will surely not ever be erased from his memory. Hook is a man of many goals, and not all of them have surely been revealed yet. He’s also been through a lot, and had plenty of women who have thrown himself at him over the years. Maybe that is what makes Emma so special to him.

Is this your opinion or a journalistic statement from an interview or previewing the episode?
“Also, expect more in the way of his life aboard the ship, his feelings towards Emma, and he is trying to do to win her over.”

I want to know more about Hook’s missing year. He’s surely hiding something from Emma and I hope we’re going to see what it is in the next episode.
Well, every episode that include Hook (and Captain Swan interaction) always pleases me. I’m looking forward to see more of Emma & Hook bonding, because in the half of season 3, Hook’s centric episode–“Good Form” showed Emma & Hook big progression (A hot make out session) so yeah I expect the same with this episode.

I love Killian Jones! And the more we learn about him the more I love him.
All the Hook-centric episodes have been excellent in terms of writing and performance since they allow Colin O’Donoghue to apply all his genius acting skills.
I’ve been wanting to learn what happened to him in that missing year ever since NYC Serenade. The WHEN and the HOW he managed to cross realms and find Emma.
I think Adam and Eddy are doing such an excellent job with the charcater of Killian Jones as well as with the story between him and Emma.
Hook has proven time and again how sincere and selfless he is in his pursuit of her. I loved how caring he was of Henry and how invested he was in helping im come to terms with his father’s death, coming to terms with it himself in the process.
I could not imagine OUAT without Hook anymore – nor do I want to! He’s such an intruiging and loveable character – so, the more Hook the better :)

Hook is a favorite and I’ve enjoyed how his character has developed over
the seasons. I want to learn what happened in the missing year and why
he feels he can never go back to the life he used to have. Can’t wait
for Sunday night!

There are too much things about them and how Hook loves her and this show tells you – hope starts with happy ending and when you love someone you find them…. Hook has that.
He has crossed realms for her. All signs point to them being true love.
He would do anything for her.

as long as they don’t kill hook off I’m good!!! Emma needs him I think he keeps her grounded. He gives her enough to know she’s loved but also aggravates her enough where she keeps him at bay. They are comical enough to keep you interested & so down to earth enough to feel like something you yourself has gone through.
