The Blue Fairy aka Mother Superior

[Mike]

This is great that they have introduced the Blue Fairy as the ultimate power. My guess is that she is a combination of both good and bad, but she perceives herself as always doing the right thing in all situations.

We haven't seen the Blue Fairy do anything bad so far. She did keep Dreamy and Nova apart, but she may have legitimately thought she was doing what was best for them. I think she was most likely wrong, but so far we haven't seen her do anything just right out evil. Maybe we will in the next episode.

I have to agree that the blue fairy is not as she seems, nor do I think she is all goodness and light, as she claims. And while I don't think she lied to Bae, I do think she chose which truth to tell him. She said that she could not change Rumpel back, however, as we know there are other ways to break the curse, i.e. true love's kiss (which from Rumpel's reaction in Skin Deep, I hypothesize that even he didn't know that little piece of information.) If she is indeed the original power, the source from which all power derives, then she probably knows there is more than one path to take to achieve Bae's goal. The question I have is why did she chose this particular one? Was it really the only other option she knew? Or does she have a hidden agenda yet to be seen?

BF did seem a little shifty when she was encouraging Bae to take Rumple away from FTL. Weebeastie makes an interesting point. We have heard over and over that true love's kiss will break any curse, and we seemingly saw Belle's kiss at least start to break Rumple's curse. So why wouldn't BF have mentioned that to Bae? She might have thought it unlikely that Rumple could find someone to love him, but it indicates that she was lying about the bean being the ONLY way to return Rumple to his pre-curse condition.

I think her agenda was to get rid of Rumple aka The Dark One. We don't know what happens to The Dark One's power if the curse is broken through a kiss. Does it just dissipate? Doesn't seem likely that an enormous power like that would simply cease to exist. Maybe BF feared what would happen in that case and was looking for a way to get him out of that world and into another one. We don't actually know what happened to Bae. We are assuming he wound up in our world, but there is no evidence of that.

I agree with the previous posters who suspect that there may be more to BF than simply a benevolent granter of wishes.

I don't think the blue fairy remembers...I think she would have done something by now if she did. But I could be wrong- it's not implausible.

I think she believes herself to be entirely good, whether or not she truly is.

I agree.

It was an obvious choice of words by the BF to say I am on the "right" side and not the "good" side.
If she is the original power and all power comes from her, then the deviation to bad power would also be included. I would say her power being "good" or "bad" is probably based on perspective. She may make a "right" choice that doesn't necessarily look like a "good" choice to others -- perhaps Nova and Dreamy would fall under this.

What I am wondering is if she understands the desired end result for Rumpel, has she developed a bigger and broader plan beyond his? I'm sure she can be just as patient as Rumpel has been, and if Rumpel spent those centuries developing the curse, she knew about it. I mean he told her at the end of "The Return", "I will find him!" So she knows what Rumpel's agenda is.

Don't know if this has been posted yet. During last night's Once podcast, Daniel mentioned that the nuns in SB were named the Sisters of St. Meissa.

Did look "Meissa" up and it is the name of a bright star in the constellation Orion (actually a double star which accounts for its brightness). Seems interesting reference back to the Blue "Star" Fairy!

[EternalღFlame]

I don't think the BLue Fairy is bad. She seemed to have pure intentions during last week's episode. She wanted to help Baelfire and his father escape the power of the Dark One. But I do think that she has other motives. Not necessarily bad motives. But other motives nonetheless.

It was an obvious choice of words by the BF to say I am on the "right" side and not the "good" side.

I was just thinking about that. She said there is a good side and a dark side and that she is on the right side. I think she is on the side that she feels is justified and righteous. I'm not saying she's all bad, but I do think she is dangerous. Wrath is dangerous, but righteous wrath is even more frightening. To pull a quote from the book American Gods: “There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous."
