I'll give this miniseries props: Even if you just know there's going to be tons of Jimmy/Peter shippers (as in the middle-aged father figure and his adolescent ward, yes), it takes until the last ten minutes to get really stupid. Then, in rapid succession:
A. Hook manages to cut off his own hand. I know, right? Even though one of the things you'd think any Peter Pan prequel (pecks a patch of pickled peppers) would know to show would be Peter cutting off Hook's hand and feeding it to a crocodile. Yeah, in the book, Peter's kinda a sociopath. Sorry about that, childhoods.
B. Said crocodile also eats a pocket watch, which I guess is supposed to provide the trademark warning sound of the crocodile. A pocket watch.
C. Someone says to new-amputee Hook "If we get out of this, what are you going to use for a hand, Hook?" I swear to God, Jimmy turns to the camera and gives the audience a look like "sheesh, that was bad."
D. Peter gives a rousing speech to the Lost Boys about how they'll stay in Neverland. "We own this world, pure and simple," he says in the middle of a bunch of Indians who've been living there for a hundred years. "Oh yeah, this will end well," you can imagine them saying.
ETA: Also, Hook manages to KO Peter by throwing said pocket watch at him. Under-handed. Even Captain Kirk would say that's an implausible fighting technique.
