It can't run at the same rate of time though, as when Wendy returns she'd only been gone overnight but it was longer for her in NL. It could just be that a day/night cycle is shorter than in LWM but as people don't age I think it will be more than that. Eh, I always felt iffy about that point. I feel like the show made it feel more like, she felt like it was longer but it really wasn't because she had so much fun, y'know? Watching that part I never felt that time actually ran differently in Neverland, IDK.

And plus, there's more evidence pointing towards what I said. I made a pretty strong case what with Hook, Bae, Rumple, etc. Hook and Bae not returning to their own time, the time they left from, but later...think about it, if Bae left Neverland and returned to the time he left from, Victorian England, he'd certainly be a LOT older. CLEARLY he returned to a time much later than the one he left from, which would imply time runs in Neverland, just people don't age. I know I've posted this on the other thread but as there are 2 threads on the same topic I feel the need to repost :)

I agree with the wishy-washy way she said that 'it felt longer than that' but the statement she said afterwards, 'So time works differently in Neverland', that, to me, was from the writers informing us of this fact. It was the way she said it IMO.

I also said that I thought it was only 100yrs (in LWM) between Bae leaving the Darling's and arriving back. If NL followed the same rate of time as LWM it would have been 200 years difference. We know that Neal is +/- 35 now and was 14 when he left EF, so he must have returned to start aging around 1978. Bae left Victorian England. Queen Victoria reigned from 1837-1901. Big Ben wasn't around until 1859, and that was shown on screen, so it could have been 120 years at most. Not sure whether English history is one of K&H's fortes but that's my reasoning :)

So I'm agreeing with you that time does run in NL, I just feel that it's at a slower rate than elsewhere.
