The Big Screen

The first time that Captain Hook comes across the TV is the day that Emma takes him with her to dinner downstairs, to eat with Mary Margaret and David. After they have all eaten 3 helpings of everything, including the forest berry pie, Henry takes Hook by the arm with the stump and tugs him into the direction of the sofa.

"Come on, there's a good movie on tonight!"

The pirate, rather bemused, let himself be let to the leather seating and let himself be oriented towards the strange black shiny object taking up part of the living room wall.

The next moment, Henry reached for a strange looking black plank with white buttons with numbers and strange signs and pointed it at the shiny object.

Several things then happened, all the same time.

Firstly, Emma came into the room with a bowl of something that looked soft and fluffy, like a cloud trapped in glass.

Secondly, the strange shiny sheet suddenly stopped being black and erupted in colour, with people coming to life on it.

Thirdly, a bald man, looking directly at Emma, raised his musket and fired it.

And lastly, Emma found herself pushed to the floor by what felt like 100 kilos of pirate, her head carefully cradled in his hand and his eyes checking her over for any signs of blood.

For a moment, the room was completely still, as everyone took Hook's actions in, David in particularly holding still and tensed up. Just a few seconds later, however, Mary Margaret erupted into laughter, closely followed by Henry, and proceeded to help her very confused daughter off the floor. She then pointed to the television where Bruce Willis was killing off people left and right.

"He was protecting you."

Emma picked that moment to blush crimson, David's expression was split half way between respect, admiration and hatred for the man before him and Henry piped up: "See, Mum, what did I tell you? He's a GOOD pirate." The blonde proceeded to pick herself up from the floor, leaving the pirate where he was. Her mother moved around instead, and offered him her hand.

"Now, Killian, come off the floor. It seems that we have to explain to you what a television is." And with that, Mary Margaret was in full 'teacher' mode.

The next morning, David and Mary Margaret are faced with a novel concept - Captain Hook, on a ladder, attempting to push himself into the aerial, all the while patiently explaining that if the recordings get into the television via the cable and through the aerial, surely to get into a program all he has to do is go in via one.
