This is one of the reasons why I DON’T want Bae to be Peter Pan. His character would no longer be unique if he turns out to really be one of the most iconic storybook characters of all time.

That’s actually a really good point and one I hadn’t considered. It would change the nature of Bae pretty dramatically. Suddenly there are expectations about what he’s supposed to be doing. And if Tamara really is Tink or Tiger Lily, people might argue that he should be with one of the them since it's the more normal approach to his story You’ve given me something to think about going forward with NealFire.

Per Lost: Totally understand and he had his moments, it was set up in the beginning etc. I just felt like by the end he whined a bit too much and I actually preferred him with Juliet! I felt like that way the couples would understand each other and felt a bit cheated in the finale when they had had their “chance” but it didn't work in purgatory whereas Skater never really got a legit chance – didn't even get a clip showing they landed safely!! If you asked me in the pilot who I'd rather be with: the guy who made me sew him up or the guy who protected a group of us from a polar bear, I'd have said polar bear. Sawyer had a sweet endearing quality over the course of things and was more of a snooze-fest when with Juliet. As a Kate myself (though not a brunette and no freckles to speak of), the only positive thing I loved about Suliet (other than their reunion where I actually finally liked them though not as much, was hearing Sawyer say “You got it Blondie” (a name I usually hate!)

At least we can agree on RumBelle and politely disagree on other stuff without being irrational and throwing a fit! Such a pleasant relief around here. 🙂

One of the things I found interesting about Neal being Bae is that he stayed so…sweet-natured after everything he’s been through. It almost seemed a little odd so the NealFire Pan thing might actually explain some of that / maybe show a different side to him, at least when he was younger maybe. Though I agree it might also bring about a few expectations as well.

If it turns out he is NealFire Pan it would parallel the whole Aurora thing though – daughter of the first Aurora who was originally the sleeping beauty attacked by Maleficent vs the son of the crocodile being Hook’s (presumed) enemy instead of the crocodile himself (at least within the Neverland boundaries, clearly it eventually goes back to Rumple).

As to the Tink thing: usually she loves Peter but he doesn't choose her. Tiger Lily would be far more questionable, as would anybody with the last name of Darling. Still hoping for a Morraine relative if that's the case though.
