    Did NealFire say a few or a couple? I coulda sworn he said a couple hundred years old but I haven’t studied too many of this season’s eps with that level of detail so I could be wrong.

    Emma: So you know Hook?

    Neal: It’s a long story. Short version, is this world wasn’t my first stop when I left home.

    Emma: No?

    Neal: If it was, I’d be a couple hundred years old by now.

    You’re right.

    I think that quote only jumped out at me because I as hyperventilating over the idea of Neverland at the time. Amazed I remembered it that well though!

    So…we’re back to the 200+ which varies since Rumple, Hook, and Bae are not the same age so somewhere between 200-250 for all 3 of them…that we know of.

    Which leaves Blue as the only character older that we know of yet, though someone in Neverland could still outdate her.

    So sometime in the last couple of hundred years (but way more recently than that) Hook and Bae both left Neverland and got around whatever stops you from leaving. BUT it seems like Peter Pan is still running things which means that Hook and/or Bae probably didn’t defeat whatever is controlling Neverland right now since Henry is still being sought out.

    Brings up a lot of interesting questions to be answered.

    Ok, if Hook never set foot on land then he wouldn’t be bound by the curse, right?

    Bae was bound by it, but if Peter needs Henry and has the gift of sight like the Seer, then he would have to let Bae go at the right time back to our land where he could meet Emma.

    Do you suppose Rumple and Regina will have magic in Neverland? Neverland has magic right? (and Emma too I guess).

    As far as we know it does have magic. I think they will have their magic, the question is how will it work. Magic works differently in different place.

    I suppose Rumple and Regina can teach her how to use her magic too. I wish they’d explore the whole magic thing more. I think Pan snatching henry was not a good idea, considering who his mothers are. And his grandfather. HAHA!

    I get the feeling that magic is stronger in NL than it was in SB and maybe in FTL. I still thinking about the last one.

    Which leaves Blue as the only character older that we know of yet, though someone in Neverland could still outdate her.

    I wonder if Peter has been around as long her. Right now she’s out least favorite plot device, but I’d love to see her actually have something to do with…well, anything.

    What I was suggesting was that Neal’s quote about his age doesn’t imply he considers himself as having lived 100’s of years, but rather, if he had come straight to a land without magic when he left FTL, THEN he would have had to have been 100’s of years old. If time in NL is not synched to time in FTL or the Land Without Magic, then it is possible that the effects of it can go different ways. Wendy spent more time in NL than she was away (or so it seemed to her). Perhaps the opposite can happen too–you spend less time in NL than it seems to you (but more time in the real world has passed). It could also affect different people differently. So Wendy returns the next morning, Bae gets sent to 1991 and Hook ends up back in FTL right before the curse hits (even though I’m supposing he left after Bae). It’s still not time travel in the sense that any person can go into the future or past where they themselves might already exist. It’s more like what happens when you cross time zones using planes that have different flight paths. The length of time that elapses on one’s journey from NL to another place can be varied, anything from a night to a few centuries. So let’s call it the “portal time back varies” idea.

    I think there will be magic in NL–Rumpel and Regina don’t exactly pack much punch without it (Rumpel’s cane-o-pain aside).

    “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

    I think the key here, since FTL time & SB time seem to jive since we’ve seen events happen close to each other thanks to the MAP storyline, is that if you look at the date Bae was born (which we don’t actually know but go with me on this) and the date it is today, he would, in Emma’s eyes, be a couple hundred years old. That’s the way I took his quote. He’s basically saying that to her he should be a couple hundred years old instead of whatever he is now because of the date he was born, regardless of how NL time works or how much time he spent there.
