Yes, but Pinnochio knew Bae’s name, which is more than the rest of the FTL people would have known. So what I was wondering was whether he knew more than just a name and that Neal came from FTL, or did he have more context and background? If Pino had the context, then he wouldn’t have said “crossfire” would he? So then, it seems likely that whoever told Pino about Neal only told him the name and that Neal was from FTL. Why hold the rest back? Who was this mysterious source of information? As others have theorized, it could have been Jefferson who had knowledge but was trapped in his house. Then we start to wonder how August could have ever found out about him.
About that. My pet theory is that August’s source of information is himself. I believe he met Baelfire as a young puppet boy in Neverland.
How, you might ask? I think we’ll eventually find out that Peter Pan, be him Bae or his own character (the latter my personal preference), will fulfill the role of Pinocchio’s friend Lampwick, with Neverland being his Pleasure Island and Hook the Coachman. Both Lampwick and the Coachman will never be featured in the show the way they were portrayed in Disney’s Pinocchio – Lampwick smoking cigars, drinking beer and being a vandal altogether, the Coachman having serious devil undertones -, so Peter and Hook fit well as lighter versions of those characters. This explains rather well why the showrunners are holding back how August knew Neal was Bae – the explanation requires the introduction of Peter Pan, a character they’ll only show in season 3.

Interesting, but then you have August remembering from when he was 7 what Bae was like at 14, yet Bae is unable to recognize August at the same time. That’s not impossible, but a bit of a stretch. I suppose August would have changed more (there’s almost a pun there…). Anyway, I think both child actors do a good job, so wouldn’t mind seeing them again if it did play out that way.

Well, not only Pinocchio would’ve been wooden in this scenario, but we’ve also been shown in “The Stranger” that wooden puppet Pinocchio is vastly different from human boy Pinocchio. It’s not a big leap then to believe that August would’ve recognized Neal as Bae, but not the other way around.
