ABC shows a definite bias. "Her One True Love!" I'm not serial against Twu Lurv or Hook's advertising, but it's a false statement. Not only has Hook and Emma  not have TLK, but Emma has had TLK with Henry which automatically means she has one that isn't Hook and if Hook counts, then it's two. I know the ABC peeps don'twatch the show, but that's why some tend to get mad at Hook-Emma when they are false advertising. It's like saying Regina has to save her one true love, Robin Hood, when the only TLK she has had was with Henry.

It's the tendency to stress romantic true love above familial love that agitates me. That's why I'm a non-shipper (even though there are some good ones). A family show about and centered around family has fallen down into a teen-level romantic focus. If you don't believe me, check hulu and other sites that list it under "teen". That's what I'm talking about all this time. The show doesn't care about family anymore bacause it doesn't sell. All I see with advertising is Hook Hook Hook and then some Emma and Hook, describing them as the greatest love in the world, while to me it feels more like a teenage infatuation, Emma doesn't act like she's 30 years old with a son and after 3 other relationship that we saw her on the show. When was the last time that we see Emma and Hook have a normal conversation?
