    Hook and Blackbeard took a side adventure to Neverland and the Lost Boys paid them a rather *friendly* visit. How can Hook escape Neverland now? Why did the bean take him there in the first place–is it still really home? What do you think life is like now that Pan is gone (besides brighter?)

    Unless Neverland ties directly to what is going on in Storybrooke I am going to be completely annoyed because if it does not they are wasting valuable air time that they could be using to finish off the series and answer questions and develop characters.

    I, too, feel that this interlude was totally unnecessary.

    I agree. What was the point of these scenes? Nothing came of them. Emma is probably going to get Hook back just some random special way. It was just a lot of wasted screen time.

    I agree that this story was unnecessary filler.

    As to the question of why Neverland, I think Gideon said something about magic preventing Hook from coming home (to Storybrooke), so maybe the magic bean having been magically preventing from taking him to his new home simply deposited the pirate back in his old (and much longer lived in) home in Neverland.

    Whether there is any useful reason for us to see this jaunt to Neverland I don’t know.

    Seeing Blackbeard again is kind of fun.

    I sorta assumed the bean would override Gideon’s magic but no, you’re right. That makes sense (inasmuch as it can)

    If Hook ends up getting home in some other random way not tied to Neverland, then yes this is utter filler and not needed.  But I would assume something will happen in Neverland to bring him home, therefore these scenes were necessary.  Maybe not the most exciting, yet, but they are necessary if he needed to go to Neverland to get home.

    They are filler because what Hook is doing in the Enchanted forest and Neverland does not matter. They were pointless scenes.

    So him getting back home doesn’t matter?  You’re not making any sense.

    Pointless Question: Didn’t all the Lost Boys go to Storybrooke?

    Him being stuck outside SB, in the first place, is filler.
