So I'm most of the way through season 7 and have done some soul searching and.... I have issues with WHook. Basically, he does not seem to regret any of his actions. I mean compare these two:

Killian, on the verge of tears: Every ring is a sad story.

Nook, no sadness in sight: Every ring is a fantastic tale.

Maybe it is just me, but I think that calling the rings you collected from the dead bodies you killed "fantastic tales" is just a little bit sociopathic.

Also Nook's redemption feels too codependent on Alice for my liking. He's only really done one good thing (giving Ella the white elephant). For the whole of s7, he is trying to reunite himself with his daughter, which is a self-serving act (not selfish, but to an extent he is trying to get his happy ending). Killian Prime didn't care whether or not he'd be happy at the end; he just cared about being a better person.
