He’s been locked up in prison by our characters and (out of universe) not part of the narrative for four years. Now I know that’s because he’s a D-list character and not an A or even a B, but if we’re thinking in-universe then what right do any of the characters have to lock someone up because of their crimes when several murderers who have fallen off the wagon in terms of darkness are not.
Haha yes well they certainly have no right to lock him up for eternity and give others a second chance. But given how much these writers seem to enjoy writing redemption stories, if Alan Dale was able to come back more often, or if they felt they needed him to, I’m sure he wouldn’t be locked up all the time. Keeping him locked away is obviously just an easy way for them to keep him off screen but not kill him.
