This confirms a Hook centric for 5x15 and I will say that I'm half-heartedly excited for this new character, although Hook's apprenticeship sort of wasn't resolved. (I say apprenticeship because Malcolm was sold likewise to a Blacksmith. Funny that Peter Pan and Hook are both child slaves..I mean apprentices.) The difference, is that the Jones brothers made something of themselves, when they joined the Navy. While, Malcolm Stiltskin was just a loser, man-child. Don't downplay Malcolm. He wasn't trained in anything higher class. The airhead brothers probably had no choice in the matter, while Malcolm had a poor start and nothing to suport social mobility. While a blacksmith may not move up the social ladder, the trade itself is a good one. Malcolm either didn't want to do the work, or was unable to do it well, which is why he was a drunk that tried to con people out of money. Well, there's clearly more to Malcolm's story as it is for the Joneses. Malcolm shows that he's a thinker, so he likely wasn't a drunk all his time.
