I haven't watched OUAT, but yeah, I pretty much agree.
It was one of those fandom situations where you read a post and go "Wha...?" when I saw someone state that they couldn't take Hook redemption seriously until he apologized to Rumple.
Seriously? Of all the things Hook has done that is the litmus test?
If I were Hook, hell would freeze over before I apologized to Rumple. And here I was applauding Hook for his epiphany that his quest for vengeance had turned him into a villain and that it would never fix anything anyway. Milah would still be dead, and he didn't like who he had become. (He's never seemed to hold a particular grudge for having been maimed... which is a bit odd.)
FAITH: Buffy... I'm so- BUFFY: If you apologize to me, I will beat you to death.
Now, see, THAT is a reaction I can understand.
I can't say "sorry." Can't use "forgive me." All I can say is: Buffy, I've changed.
Which really is the only thing anyone can do. You can't undo what has been done. There's only going forward. The question is in which direction.
