I hated everything about it. Will compile my thoughts later. For now, what did y'all think?

The contradiction was when 6x10 aired, A&E said that what Regina did in the Wish Realm did not matter because Wish Snow and Wish Charming were not real. They straight up said they weren't real. They weren't even brushing off another Regina murder, the realm wasn't real so it's like it shouldn't have existed after Emma woke up and left.
However, one episode later, they brought in Wish Robin and proclaimed that he was real. And now we have two wish characters living outside of the wish realm and they're both "real." It looks like they changed the rules of the wish realm to keep using two characters/actors. But I think we all could've come up with ways for them to have brought back Robin in 6B (like if he was a ghost coming to give Regina closure) and Hook in S7 (like having Rogers be the real Hook), instead of them piling on with the inconsistencies.

1. Is the Old Hook we see in 7x02 the Wish Realm Hook from 6x11?
2. If the Old Hook (7x02) is the Wish Realm Hook from 6x11, how did he get to The New Enchanted Forest?
2. Good question.
Hook had a magical bottle
When the WishWorld was created, a duplicate of the magical bottle was created as well. WHook had the bottle, and he algo got the message Henry sent. They didn't know WHook had a duplicate of the bottle.
But what does him getting the bottle have to do with his location?
The Wish Realm and such are pretty basic.
Emma and co see them as fake; however, the wish simply placed her in an alternate/parallel world that was actually real.
If you woke up in a dream and knew it was as such, you think nothing matters in your dream because it's not like it's affecting real life.
As for the bottle, it's easy. There are two Hooks, so it duplicates to both Hooks. I'm sure Regina hitched a ride with Hook, so they had the same bottle.
So....the bottle split going to Hook and one to Wish Hook (likely due to location differences).
4. Emma's make-up for god almighty. Snow and Aurora were "glowing" when they were pregnant. Emma looked completely trashed
Those hair extensions are horrible, and way too noticable.
As I said, I'm okay with Hook being Wish Realm Hook, it was a great twist. My issue is 'Why give him such a big, heavy and sensitive story like searching for a daughter that's been kidnapped by a witch? It only makes things more confusing.
Because every version of Captain Hook on OUaT, needs to be motivated by love. How dare he not be the hero again?

Or....you know that they are writers and there needs to be a thing called "Story". You have to be invested in a character, not just have a background, secondary character take a major role and nothing's going on with them. It's like if Robin Hood lost his one centric....he'd be a glorified extra that happens to have lines.
The new season is boring. None of the curse personalities interest me. Most are just plain ole annoying. They should have simply used all the Wishverse characters. Why? Because we already have seen majority of Storybrooke Characters past. Not fun to rehash old storylines with New faces. As far as the episode outside of Emma being Pregnant and Wishverse Hook I can't remember a thing worth talking about.
I think I may warm up this new Hook, but for now I'm kind bummed. You've established a character for 5 seasons onto a show, given him backstory and character development, and now we have a clone. I feel like they comprimised a good story for a ship, which bugs me. They repeated what they did with OutlawQueen fans, where the Serum Queen and Robin of Locksley got together, to appease the fans. I get Colin O Donoghue had to return to because he still had time in his contract, but, why did they have to make him go off with Emma, so she could have her happy ending? Is Henry not a part of her happy ending too? I wish Emma left by herself, because it couldve ended with the two reuniting off-screen after the curse was broken.
Not really. Pretty much everyone's character was wrapped up. Regina had an opening up about missing something in her life (but I wish they left her alone) and Rumple really was just starting his redemptive path (because we all know he was not even close to rectifying his situation). Hook was pretty much done. After all, how many more secrets and lies and angst can we go through with Hook?
I think this episode really hurt season seven as a whole. The present day events were pointless for the most part, and the flashback was kinda a mess. Regina and Hook talked about Emma like she was dead?? The flashback definitely should have been more Emma centered, as it was her curtain call. As for the baby, I feel that it would have been better off just not mentioning it at all, or showing her happily giving birth to it. In general, it being made a Hook centric made quite the mess. It hurts Knightfall in particular, as it made it the third Hook centric in the season.
