I always felt like the show made it feel more like she felt like it had been so long because she was having so much fun, but in actuality the same amount of time had passed. IDK, that's just the vibe I always got.

2) What makes you say only about 100 years had passed? O_o It always fascinates me how people can take the same thing and view it completely differently :)

I suppose I think that if a character states something like that, that it is the voice of the writers telling us how it is.

As for the 100 years - 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 :)
