Currently, for 6A, Regina/the EQ has 52 more minutes screentime than everybody else. Yeah, you can say that they're "two different people" but they're really one person played by the same actress.

Compare that to 5A - which was the only arc in which Hook's importance to the storyline was elevated. Hook didn't even have the most screentime then, Emma did (with 26 more minutes than him). And he only got 18 more minutes than Regina. If you take into account the entirety of season, Regina still had more screentime than Hook by 42 minutes. This is why I don't get it when people call season 5 "Once Upon a Hook." Are they just talking about 5x08-510? Because outside of that, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

I can personally acknowledge both the importance of Regina and Hook to the show (and to S5 & S6) so I'm pretty "whatever" about it all. But I do care about the amount of screentime Emma receives so I hope they step it up in 6B.
