Once Upon A Time Episode 5 Recap: Off The Hook

Hook you look like a Girly-Man when you strike that pose. Stop it, you're embarrassing me!

Episode 5 is entitled "Good Form" and is Captain Hook centric. It tells the backstory of Hook (ie Killian Jones) and his brother Captain Liam. They are sent on a mission to find an island on which a plant grows that will cure any injury (or not). He later leads Charming to a spring where the water counters the effects of the Dreamshade that was poisoning him. However, everything comes with a price on this show. David can now never leave the island or he will die. There's also something about a sextant. They're still trying to find Henry. Blah, blah, blah. To be honest I found this episode to be pretty boring. Here's the rest of the goings on:

"One thing that won’t be tolerated on this ship is bad form" says a two handed pre-hook Hook to his crew. "One thing that won't tolerated on this show is bad acting" says GMonster to no one.
Our weary band of travelers finds Neal's cave hideout. They see where Neal had counted off the days on the wall until he lost hope. Emma says she felt the same way when she wen to a new foster home. Emma sweetie, you need some therapy. Please put that at the top of your list when you get back to Storeybrooke. Anyway, everyone keep hope alive.... HOPEITY, HOPEITY, HOPE!
As a self proclaimed SwanQueen shipper, it is indeed bad form for Hook to kiss Emma. Unhand her, you fiend! Oh there are so many Hook jokes to make and so little time. I really don't think they have much chemistry. What say you?
Charming's Dreamshade symptoms (that crawling black vein thingy) are the same ones that little Tommie from Roanoke had over on "Sleepy Hollow" last week. I am officially diagnosing David as having the plague. Run for your lives!
Emma holds Snow back as Regina's plucks out the heart of a Lost Boy so she can control him. Regina, you can suck out my heart any time you'd like. Just let me know what works best for your schedule. Anyway the Lost Boy takes the mirror to Henry. Emma, Regina, and Snow mirror/Skype him and tell him not to lose faith and to remember "Operation Cobra". Emma referred to Henry as "our son" and with that the Internet erupted with chatter from millions of SwanQueen shippers. Hey we'll take anything we can get.
Pan tells Hook that Neal is still alive and is in Neverland (in a cage). He leaves it to Hook to tell Emma, or not.
"We no longer sail the Jewel of the Realm. We sail the Jolly Roger."- Hook to his crew. And a pirate is born.

Regina, if you need to practice ripping hearts out, I'm available anytime. Call me, text me, Facebook me, Tweet me, IM me, carrier pigeon, anything....

Grade: 3 Monsters (out of 5). Not my favorite episode but I still love the show. Next week Ariel (the mermaid) is up.
