Lets see  now... how can I respond to the other things. I will respond this way

I can accept almost every answer given. There were 2 statements made however that I'm not 100% sold on. They are : ....

1). "The ONLY way Baelfire doesn't age is if he's in Neverland"

2). "This is the ONLY explanation that works, as ... it would have been mentioned ... if Bae went somewhere else and didn't age for hundreds of years."

One thing I definitely know about this show is, the only facts we know for sure are the ones they have revealed. We DO know that no ages in Neverland. Thats for certain. What we don't know is, if Neverland is the ONLY place where people  don't age. You know this show  will make up places we didn't know of as well as histories we didn't know. Like for instance Rumple. He's been on since season one. Who would have ever guessed that his father was Peter Pan. He never mentioned it to his wife that we know of. They never mentioned it. There was not even a hint dropped in season 1. The actors didn't even know. They just made it up. LOL. What an interesting twist. I loved it

So to say Neverland is the only place where people don't age ... and this is the only explanation that works ....and ....they would have mentioned it .....might not be 100% true. They don't tell us everything. Hook is also hundreds of years old too and it appears he hasn't aged either. He looked the same age to me that he did when he met Bae as a child that he did when he met Cora many many yeas later. He looks the same now.

Also, he is not a magical being or cursed (at least as far as I remember...but he could be though). Another thing ..... he is an adult. Other than when Charming, Snow, Emma, Regina and Rumple went, adults were not allowed on the island. If Hook was there he could only be there as a child. Unless there was some provision there that hasn't been revealed,  he stopped aging as an adult not as a child. If all of what I say holds true, where was he when he stopped aging or why did hos aging stop? Wherever he was, it wasn't in Neverland, as its for children and so far he has always been an adult on this show

Just something to think about. Every show they keep revealing things, histories and twist that we didn't know ,just like they are getting ready to show this season with Charming, Snow and Emma ....(their dark side)  LOL. Thats what makes it so interesting. We are always wondering how they are going to make it work No one ages in Neverland, regardless of age, because Neverland is basically the Land Without Time. This is why Hook and Smee didn't age for hundreds of years. And while you are correct that the show constantly adds on to the plot with new twists, Baelfire/Neal's story is over. He died a hero to save his family. So we won't get any other big reveals about him. We'll be lucky if we see either of them (Baelfire or Neal) in flashback again, but even then, it will be to advance someone else's backstory, not his own.
