Where is your evidence Neal was 21 or 22 when he dated and had sex with Emma? I do not remember this ever being stated in the show. What wanted poster are you refferring to? Can you show me it?

The show states that Emma was seventeen (not sixteen) when Henry was conceived, which I've already explained here. As for Neal's wanted poster, it can be seen in this image. But even so, CoolDudeAl pointed something out in the other thread: "Neal's birth year is made up, because Neal was really born hundreds of years ago, and in a different world. So we don't know if Neal is really 22/23, or if at some point he made up an age for himself that people would believe. He could biologically be 18 for all we know, and just has a fake birthday that makes him 22." Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm not going to enter into the statutory rape debate, but I actually like Emma and Neal's relationship in "Tallahassee". I don't like Neal as a character (I find him rather bland and boring), but he and Emma were deeply in love and made each other happy. I like their story.
