YMMV / Once Upon a Time S3 E5 "Good Form"

• Broken Base: The kiss scene between Hook and Emma in this episode is a major point of contention within the fandom even to this day. There is one camp who find it super romantic and a good next step in their romance, especially due to Jennifer Morrison and Colin O'Donoghue's chemistry. However, there is also a camp that find it more creepy than romantic, and feel that it is out of place in a season where Emma is otherwise more focused on saving her son than romance. Even years later, this scene is the subject of major flame wars.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Hook and Emma kissing after Hook saves her father is supposed to be charming and romantic, but a lot of fans find it a bit hard to swallow on Hook's end. The sticking point is Hook seemingly pressing Emma for the kiss due to saving her dad, basically asking for a reward for doing the right thing, even if that was not the intention. While it's meant to be a flirty little back and forth between the two, some of Hook's dialogue, such as "That's all your father's life is worth to you?", reads as accidentally manipulative. Add to this Emma originally turning down kissing him, and you have the reason a lot of fans see it as creepy instead of romantic.
