Neverland/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  • How does the ability to fly make you anything resembling a god, particularly in a world where you can easily be shot out of the sky by someone with a gun?
    • Before Peter, they weren't even sure what the mineral dust could do, only that it was very powerful. Perhaps they thought it could do more than just make people fly.
    • Peter does explain to Jimmy when leading him through the forest that he also has extra sensory abilities.

Neverland cannot possibly sustain life.

  • According to Techno Babble, people don't age or grow up on Neverland because time doesn't pass there. This would logically mean that non-human life, plants included, shouldn't grow or age either. Now, we know that the inhabitants of Neverland still need to eat - hence the fishing nets, crocodile hunts, and webs spun by the giant spiders - but if nothing grows or ages, then all food sources would quickly become depleted and everything would starve. In fact, Neverland should be a barren waste because life could have never started there in the first place.
    • Maybe it only counts for people.

How did Peter get back to England to meet the Wendy Darling?

  • Without access to the orbs, wouldn't he have needed go "the long way," through interstellar space?
