Bae as Henry’s father is unacceptable – show is dead to me

However, I have a feeling that if the Baelfire is Peter Pan theory becomes true, that could have been an idea resulting from fan influence, or at least something not thought of until Season 2.

It's possible, but given how badly they really wanted to get the rights for “Peter Pan”, and how very early on in the first season, K&H talked about how the identity of Henry's father probably wouldn't be revealed for several seasons, I think that they always wanted to make Nealfire into Peter Pan but weren't sure if and when they could get the rights.

I think they may have had a contingency plan in place in case they couldn't have got the rights. However, since they did get the rights after the first season during the writing of the second season, I believe that they may have moved up the date of the big Nealfire reveal.

Yeah, I'm thinking that if they make Nealfire into NealfirePan that it's something they always had planned. They've said multiple times that Pan is their all time fave character, which is one of the reasons why I've felt that it'd make sense for them to make him their central boy character from a magical world, that character being Bae. I guess if they wanted to tweak it due to people having guessed it already, they could make him a Lost Boy instead, without it altering their overall story much, but if he does end up being Pan, I'm guessing it was part of their original story plan.

I’m guessing that when they entertained the idea of switching up the story to not make Nealfire, it was a very brief conversation and they wrote off the idea almost immediately. If anything, it gives me more faith in them, that they’re gonna stick to telling their story their way. Obviously any storyteller must keep an open mind to be able to go with the flow if a certain part of a story doesn’t work like they’d hoped and they need to course correct, but I believe these guys won’t compromise their overall vision of their story.

I think the fact that most of us figured it out before their reveal shows how well the seeds were planted–it was the logical outcome of the rest of the storyline. So changing it would have betrayed the seeds they had planted, even if I can understand their desire to keep us surprised.
