Lana herself confirmed Regina was 18. In the time period the Enchanted Forest is set in (roughly the Middle Ages, so 1000-1400) young girls would be married off starting at 12 years old. So yeah, Regina was a spinster at 18.

And Bobby himself confirmed Rumple was 300. Someone will just have to ask Colin, Bobby or Adam if it's 300 or 200. But 300 fits.

Regina was 18, Snow was 10, etc. EF isn't set in anything, but has a early European (1200-1500)feel. So, you can't use real world facts to work in this world in which there is magic and little technological progress. Helga was like 20s to 30s and still was unmarried.

Rumple is over 300. Hook is the same. He and Ursula supposedly met in 1819 (our time) or something....I'll find my source.

I would ignore anything that Mal says because they clearly had no idea what they wanted at that point.

There is some debate about whether Rumpelstiltskin is 200 or 300. However, it seems to follow better continuity that he is 200. Hook claims to be 200 and he is around the same age as Rumpel. In "The Queen is Dead" Neal says he would be a couple hundred years old. Assuming he means 200, there is no way Rumple is an entire century older than his son if he was not immortal before he became the dark one. Also, Baelfire is 14 in the mid-1800s our time. that would make him around 175 after the curse. Rumpel would be around 210, so both would round to 200. This supports my theory that Rumpel was a little boy 170 years before the curse. If you have evidence that suggests otherwise, let me know.

Hook and Ursula's story happens in 1819 and that's after he has started to work for Peter Pan.

It makes literally no sense, but for better or worse. Victorian England is 1830 to 1900. So, do with it what ever you please.

Though the writers make little sense, I usually go with whatever they say latest and this goes to prove my point that the Darlings London must be a different world simply because Hook already workjing for Pan in 1819 means that Bae was in DL before the Victorian Era and before Big Ben was completed.

Must be a differnt world or the writers making up stuff in an incoherent way.

EDIT: Also, Hook's aparently close to 385.

SO, in other words, never listen to Eddy Kitsis for coherent and accurate facts, lol.

385?! So assuming that Hook is about 35... Both him and Rumple have been alive for 350 years...

Lol, what's that logic. You mean stopped aging for 350 years.

You know what I meant.

This doesn't really have a lot to do with the topic, but wanted to ask where someone upthread got the idea that Season 4A begins in April of 2013.

Although April would still qualify as "early 2013", the way Adam and Eddy spoke about the timeline did very much give the impression that we weren't quite so far into that year at the time the season began, with January or February being far more likely.

Because of how the show's been paced so far and from hints in-show tbh

Can you enlighten me a bit, please, as far as in-show hints are concerned?
