I saw somewhere a Kommentar like:People don't like Emma and Hook because he's evil, and yet Regina or/and Gold is/are their Favorit character(s). And I totally agree with it!
Maybe that's the point..Emma can change him, make him better, and he can do the same for her!
We all saw how hurt Hook was when she left him on that beanstalk. That showed me that he is still capable of having strong feelings about a girl. He haven't showed them in a long while, not after Millah died, but he did it for her. That tells us something, right?
I will never stop shipping them and I will go down with this ship!<3
