However, I don't see any reason to do such flashback. What's with all the Nealbaiting this season? They mentioned him only 3-4 times in season 4. My theory is beginning to seem like it's true, but the way they promote Hook and Emma seems weird if this is what they are going to show. I'm sure they aren't tacking a dead Neal to a line and tossing him out to see. Neal was part of the premise of the show, so they have a right to mention him as often as they want. Unless you want them to mention Walsh. XD And not to be cranky, but I have a feeling people would complain that they are ignoring Neal and now others complain that they are showing attention to Neal. All I'm saying is that it's weird that right after he died, they hardly mourned him or mentioned him and after a season we have a lot of mentions of him where it should have been the other way - more mentions to less mentions. Let us see:

Season 3: Seen twice and mentioned in 4 episodes after his death

Season 4: Mentioned in 8 episodes

Season 5 (so far): Mentioned in 5 eipsodes thus far

Yes, please tell me more about how they didn't really mention him. I will remind everyone that we are in an Underworld arc and gasp...we're discussing dead people.

I know, I shouldn't do snark, but I think they did a reasonable amount. I don't want to open it in here, but it's not the mentions themselves. It's the context he was mentioned and the lack of mourning. This is really off topic and I would have opened a thread about it if people hadn't complained I'm a SF shipper that's bitter because my ship got killed and that's the reason I think the show isn't good anymore.
