Re: Is this show worth watching or is it too terrible?

I'm not really sure how they managed that. They were definitely planning to bring Hook in even as far back as right after season 1 wrapped-- they showed a sneak-peek of Hook at Comic-Con that summer. But for one thing they've said they wanted Jack Sparrow on the show, but wouldn't do it unless Johnny Depp agreed to a cameo. For another--Hook looks and acts nothing like book or even Disney-movie Hook. He's got a different name and different backstory. I think that's for more than the usual fairy-tale kitchen sink reasons. So long as they didn't show Neverland, or Pan, or Hook in a red velvet coat looking like a clone of Charles II, I think they could get away with references so long as they didn't actually set anything there. Or they may have been testing the waters to see how much they could get away with. Technically, any performance of the play Peter Pan is supposed to kick back royalties to the Great Ormond St. Hospital as long as the UK exists. I'm not sure how references or re-imaginings are dealt with, just that Disney and the Hospital's lawyers have spats about it occasionally, because, surprise surprise, Disney didn't get permission or give any money when they made the animated version, and they argue that all the merchandise and spin-offs that spring from that are Disney property. But as far as characterization goes, OUAT's version of Pan is the closest I've ever seen to the book outside the book itself.
