After Tallahassee my friends and I were arguing a bit whether Neal is Bae or not. So I googled the name Neal Cassidy, thinking it sounded familiar, and found a synopsis for a book called On The Road by Jack Kerouse. It’s sort of a biography, and in it the character Dean Moriarty is a fictional version of the real life person, Neal Cassady.
On Wikipedia, the character description says that Dean grew up with an alcoholic and bum of a father, who he searches for periodically. He races from journey to journey, pulling other people along.So, am I alone in thinking that it sounds like one of those far-fetched name connections the creators love? Or am in reaching way too far? Lol.
Interesting catch. Names mean everything on this show but the fiction Neal Cassady, his story sounds an awful lot Rumpel and Baelfire.
I’ve been e-mailing with my friend and she mentioned Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They were both thieves, similar to Neal and Emma.

I am probably going way out on a limb here but have any of you considered that he could be Robin Hood? I will say that I do feel he probably is Baelfire, but the stealing aspect (even though it wasn’t exactly from the rich to give to the poor) made me think of Robin Hood. Just a thought.
You’re not the only one that thought that. Neal reminded me of Robin Hood too but I doubt that’s who he is.
