Cinnamonhummingbird just pointed out on tumblr that Gold has Bae's cloak around his neck – thought it was just a scarf at first but you can really see the fraying edges of the cloak in other shots!
Oh god that is just painful! I really feel sorry for Nealfire now. Can you imagen how much drama he’s going to be overloaded with in just that one day? His OTL that he betrayed showing up with the father he never wanted to see again and the Son he never knew existed?
[adrotate group="5"]This is why I love Tumblar! I never would have found any of this out without it!
@Sarah How would it be a flashback if Gold is outside of Storybrooke WITH Emma?
Has any one seen the new spoiler? The one that really almost confirms the Neal as Bae theroy? Apparently it's not just Henry that goes on the roadtrip, but Gold as well and that's why he ran–he was running from Gold not nessarly Emma.

Using a bit of clues, you can figure out that Neal is 32. The writers have said that the show takes place in 2009. The wanted poster in Tallahassee has his birth date listed as 1977.
About his age not matching up with when everyone else came through the portal; keep in mind that in the return, when Archie asked about the age of Rumple’s son, he said “let’s move on to something a bit easier.” That tells me that, even Rumple wasn’t sure exactly when it the curse would spit them out in relation to Bae.
I think that maybe Rumple used something of Bae’s (a hair maybe) to anchor the curse to a time when Bae would be alive but couldn’t’ be more specific than that.
@Tera_rose, i do like your idea about the number 7. Although my explanation kind of shot a hole into that, I did find another connection by that logic. If Neal was 21 when Tallahassee happened, he would have been in this world for 7 years.
I kind of brought this up in another thread and the conversation got pretty interesting. Instead of reposting about a dozen posts, here’s the link:

I just posted this more because all the other threads I follow are dry right now, but now that I see your post AuntBee, I kind of want them to do something like that. The thing about him being Bae wasn’t a surprise at all and now that it’s been all but confirmed, I do hope they have some kind of twist.
Besides, it would add another parallel between him and Henry.
Hallucinations can be very real in some cases. Some people with schizophrenia really can’t tell what is real and isn’t and even swears that whatever they thought happened was real. I’m not saying I actually believe this, i’m just trying to start conversation.
So there’s been a lot of discussion about why Neal went along with August–why he couldn’t have just been with Emma and then brought her to Storybrooke later.
I saw something on Tumblar that got me thinking. It was a theory that “Neal” had repressed his memories of “Bae” and that’s why the person who posted that idea thought the personalities didn’t match. Well i don’t agree about the personalities, but it got me thinking. Maybe all that was to protect Emma from Neal.
You take a kid pretty much from the dark ages and stick him in our world. Chances are he will eventually find his way into the foster system and because he has no clue what is going on around him, CPS will think he was abused and send him to therapy. The shrinks think he’s crazy (i mean they wouldn’t believe anything he tells them–other worlds, portals, fairies, ect) and that everything he remembers is really an elaborate fantasy he has developed to cope with whatever happened to him, probably throwing a few prescriptions at him along the way.
Over time he starts to question if maybe they’re right. If maybe there was something wrong with him. Eventually he gets so torn inside that he does the only thing he can think of: he runs away, putting BOTH his old lives behind him and picking up a new name.
When he sees whatever it is that August showed him, he knows one of two things is happening. Either August is telling the truth, or he’s just a figment of Neal’s imagination and he’s in the middle of some sort of psychotic break. If August is real and he’s telling the truth, then this is something Emma has to do. But if he’s not–if he was just something Neal’s mind had cooked up then Neal was breaking and he didn’t want Emma anywhere near him…either way he really didn’t have a choice.
What do you guys think?
