Hook started out a smart, savy pirate with a quirky, twisted sense of humor that mostly involved flirting with anything with breasts - but he also had a hidden depth... a broodiness that made him interesting and slightly dark. You never knew what he was going to do, but you knew it was going to be pretty epic.

Neal is an abandoned child who wound up in a strange land, but made a path for himself, who despite his complicated life, overcame so much, to try and make a normal life for himself.

Now, all either character seems able to focus on is Emma. It trivializes everything the writers made them out to be. We might as well go and watch 90210 reruns... Honestly, for once I may not have been so harsh, but I agree. I'd be OK with it if it wasn't the only thing going on for these characters, like, if other things were showing up, too, but right now, it's the only thing that they're playing with for these characters and it's just annoying.

And hey, I'm kind of a writer too, haha.
