It's in the writing, editing and costumes even. A lot of people who don't like CS will not purposely choose to ignore these not so subtle hints and try to say that CS aren't, or won't last, but they will. So don't listen to any non-CaptainSwan fans, because they will always try to tell you different. Well, I'd like to correct you there. I don't like Hook-Emma (since Captian Swan is the manufactured name), mostly because of its premise and then its shoddy charcter development (but that could be said about alot of things in Once). I dislike the new Hook, well actually he's ok, but the transition was not organic whatsoever because it would seem as if he's obsessed witb Emma more than redemption.

I think it's endgame. I may not like the development, but I obviously know it's endgame. Tons of people that dislike it knows it's endgame, so don't create generalizations because generalizations aren't specified facts.

You're creating a cult of understanding. I'm a non-shipper myself, and the fandom has an assortment of shippers, nonshippers, and hate-watchers (as well as the general audience). You need the opinions of all to take in account as well as unbiased viewpoints. Asking CS fans if they think it's endgame, of course they would say yes. You could ask Gremma shippers if they thought it was endgame and they might say yes. SF fans think Neal will magically come from the dead. Asking a person with an obvious bias will likely get you a biased answer.

On this thread alone, there are a multitude of shippers, non-shippers, hate-watchers, character fav peeps, and all their opinions count. Some will give biased answers against them, some for them, and some will give a lesser biased view against them.

You can ask Hook fans if he's truly redemed, they'll likely say yes. You ask Regina fans if she's truly redemmed, they'll likely say yes. If you ask me, who's a slight Regina fan and slight Hook hater, I'd say that neither are truly redeemed in my opinion.

SO, to bring this back to it being hinted to being endgame, I say so. But in the end, we won't truly know until the show ends. And to point out, there are many points that Hook and Emma might not be meant to be (few, but still count). There are scenes where Regina and Emma have hints for the SQ fans. Et Cetera, etc. This is my spiel. This is one of the many reasons I don't ship because shipping fandom seems toxic and that is simply one of those statemnets. YOu may not to have meant it that way, but you are at least indirectly saying, "Don't listen to the fans of the show. Only listen to us, biased fan section." Every one has a right to speak their mind". If anyone goes with a question the intention to find the answer they wanted to hear, then that is truly a waste of time and fruitless in the end.
