I meant, the present-day storyline retconned some stuff (it has been doing so since the second half of Season 2), not the flashbacks themselves. They were just not very useful imo. Sure, the Good Form flashback di provide much more insight on Hook and explained how he knew about Neverland, but as for the latter, that was not really necessary because it was implied since 2x03 that he travelled a lot of lands, and the former was good on its own, but given how packed the Neverland arc was and how much explaination it needed, it could have happened at any other time while giving more space for the main storyline.
