If you don't like the show stop watching and stop blaiming it on stupid things. The whole point of flaws is for the characters to acknowledge them and grow, but every flaw in Hook and Emma or their relationship is swept under the rug and they act as if nothing happened.

Both did horrible things in season 5, but is forgiving eachother enough? What about Merlin, which never got mentioned again cause they can't afford to remind us that Hook cold blooded murdered someone. Doesn't he matter? Doesn't his murder matter? They didn't even show any kind of remorse about him.

You don't work through everything no matter what. When your spouse hurts you, threaten you or your family, you leave them. Love should not be a blindness. Well, slight correction.

1. Emma's flaws are acknowledge and then counteracted by everyone telling her how nothing is wrong. For example, Emma regretted bringing to the UW with a half-baked plan, everyone said "You were right to let us come with you! You have a great plan!", then the end result is Emma regretting she did that because Robin died. Then, the show drifted on......and everyone forgot Robin.

Hook's flaws are acknowledge and then ignored. Like they had a whole "Hook has a terrible problem putting people on pedastals and ends up looking down on himself. Hook has a drinking problem and a bad temper" then everyone lets that continue.

However, they aren't the sole ones, but alas this topic isn't about other characters.

2. Minor characters aren't important. They seemed to be ignoring anything from 5a for some reason. Weird. It's like they remeber 4B, but not 5A.

The show as we all know chooses "forgiveness and redemption" over justice and actual remorse.

3. This is true. Many try to go to a fictional relationship (not this particular one) as encouraging and that if they can make it through, so can I. However, everything's different. Hook verbally abused Emma in 5A for no reason. Proof? Rumple never verbally abused Belle and he was longer as Dark One. Sticking it through is good and all, but there's a difference between an argument and abuse.
