 * Dull hook. Episode of new TV series written by writer with experience in genre. Wow. Daniel Case (talk) 03:52, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * How about ... that the Once Upon a Time episode "Desperate Souls" features actor Brad Dourif as a "beggar who befriends evil Rumpelstiltskin"?  Ruby  2010/  2013  05:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That's a little better, since Dourif doesn't usually do TV, so I suppose we can take it. But with articles about individual TV episodes, it's usually difficult to find something really interesting for a hook. That material usually comes out later. Daniel Case (talk) 18:14, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the funny little details that go into an episode are usually released later, as you said. I made do with what I could find. I thought the alt hook was interesting both b/c Dourif is typically a film actor, and also because of the use of Rumpelstiltskin, which should pique readers' interests. How does the hook look? Got your approval?  Ruby  2010/  2013  18:32, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
