One, while Regina is the same age (well the Serum Queen is, we didn't see old Evil Queen), and Rumple is the same age (Dark Ones don't age), Hook was already old and fat, and a time jump would make this even worse. I don't see them forcing Colin to play an overweight 70 year old version of his character for a whole season. Problem two is Robin. They seemed to imply that Serum Queen and Robin were going to be True Love's in the Wish Realm, which to me means that Robin would have to be either main cast or heavily recurring guest star, and we haven't heard anything about Sean commiting to that for Season 7. Those two factors: Old, fat Hook, and Robin, make me think the Wish Realm season wouldn't work. I don't see a problem with fat old drunk Hook, I think it would be great for Colin if he doesn't want to be typecast, another possibility is de aging him with MAGIC. It's not like the show hasn't done contrived things like that before.
