Plus, MJR is an amazingly talented actor, (It would be real cool to see him dark, like in true blood or the walking dead). Also, he never really got to spend time with his son, break my heart.

Hook, too. I really do like his character, but I wish we could see more of him other than chasing Emma like a lost puppy. He had serious beef with rumple he's just let go. And what's with the whole father-son storyline of "And Straight On Til Morning"? I really thought they'd take that somewhere. I mean, come on. Smh.

It wasn't just forgotten. His "beef" with Rumple was continued on throughout Neverland, but in the end with Pan... Neal finally saw his father as a changed man when he set aside his constant need for selfpreservation and sacrificed himself to save others... instead of sacrificing others to save himself. You could see it in Neal's eyes (agree with you on MJR's acting, I do!) A mxiture of sadness and fear not wanting his father to die, but also pride that for once Rumple was performing a selfless act. I doubt Neal hold anything aginst him anymore after that.
