Don't get me wrong, I really like Wish Hook, probably more than the main Hook. But it feels awkard to watch Colin playing a character who looks exactly the same as the previous one, yet he is not that character. What I've always believed this past year is that more CS fans would've actually kept watching if it was the real Hook separated from Emma, so I didn't understand where the writers were coming from in saying that they "needed to preserve that happy ending." Every good person in season 7 will still end up happy in 7x22, yes? I'm also thinking about all of Wish Hook's interactions with Henry and Rumple this season and how it would've all been more significant had it been the original Hook. I do think the writers made the wrong call if they had fan concerns.

I personally don't think Wish Hook was worth all of the problems he came with. It got them piling onto the Wish Realm mess and it is really weird that another version of Hook is now in the core group's lives. Alice could've easily still existed regardless. She has more than enough going on outside of the father/daughter curse that could've all been kept the same.
