Okay, so the Underworld... I get that Emma wants to save Hook because she's upset his sacrifice was for nothing now that Gold is the Dark One once again. Yet the SwanFire in me is somewhat bitter, like, "Great, so he gets to come back, but not Neal". On the other hand, I understand Neal remained dead because he died for true and valiant reasons, with nothing to scar his legacy and sacrifice. But as a plot device for someone dead to come back... I don't know. I'm not too enthusiastic about it.. Neal sacrificed himself so his father could live and help the heroes, instead his father gives shit about it and almost destroyed the woman his son loved. Neal died in vain and it is known. Rumple slipped and hit his head on the forgetting rock. Knowing Rumple, he'd sacrifice a random peasant for Neal if he could trade someone's life.

But Rumple and Emma are respecting Neal's heroism (while Neal is an unpopular character) and Emma isn't respecting Hook's heroism and plea to let him go (because Hook is a popular character). The thong is that I wouldn't mind if he was popular because he is a great character, which he isn't. The only reason he's popular is just because he looks good. I hate to believe that the fandom is that shallow, but appearently they are, that is so frustrating. That is literally the only reason I disliked Hook. Fandom. I was hard on Hook (if you or anyone couldn't tell), because the fandom is that shallow and it affects the way they analyze the show and so on. Plus, it's really ironic that they tend to hate Regina, when Hook is just Regina version 2.0 with a little more self-awareness and no magic and equally bad subplots.

It's also why I like Rumple because fans tend to not like him, but if he was played by Colin the fans would be fawning over him, like no tomorrow.

The real sad part is I'm sure the writers know and they think that their fans are that shallow.
