I hope she isn’t dead, but I fear she may be. Poor Keegan! Greg was “rotting,dead….” as Adam tweeted. The only saving grace is that maybe there’s a miracle for a fairy who was the original power ?
On the other hand, maybe they are killing Blue in order to make room for Green aka Tinkerbelle to sort of become the head plot device …er fairy. Since she’d be “new” they could excuse all kinds of things.
I hope she is not dead because I feel like we needed Sneaky Fairy!

Greg is but Greg asn’t an immortal to begin with. And Rumple was immortal, cut off his shadow and is fine. There is something very…SNEAKY…about this.
Rumple cut off his own shadow, huge difference. The shadow ripped out Blue’s shadow as he did with Greg. So, I’m pretty convinced, Blue is dead, and can’t be revived in any way. Dead is dead, one of the few limits to magic they have been quite consistent with so far.
And frankly, I am glad if they in fact killed Blue. Prefer a tough end instead of dragging out things, and they had no clue what to do with her besides keeping her around as plot device. Have your crack theories, but highly doubt they would ever make her really sneaky fairy.
As it looks after this episode sadly even Blue’s death seems wasted, meaningless, shallow and MacGuffinish. They’re good at wasting characters and good acting.

While I do think Blue is dead dead, as I’m not letting any Sneak Fairy bias getting in the way of my theorizing, I do have to add that fairies might be a different case. In Peter Pan, fairies can be revived if enough people believe in them, so that logic might come into play here.
PP was studying Henry’s book for the reason of enacting the dark curse again, and I think the BF was in his way and would’ve blown his cover, so he had the shadow silence BF.
Yeah, even if he had no prior knowledge of Blue, just reading the book would have given him the hint that she’d help everyone find a way out of a NewCurse, so it makes sense he’d have to eliminate her.
I’m not convinced that “dead is dead” will necessarily apply in this case. they can get around it with Blue having been technically an immortal fairy, even if she’s currently in human form.
We’ve been speculating that Rumple will be mostly dead and Belle will revive him, so if that is gonna happen with the most powerful dark magic person in the next ep, then I could see them doing the same thing with the most powerful light magic person as well. Also, considering pics that have been put out there recently, I’m confident we haven’t seen the last of blue. (Dunno if I can post a twitpic link without it embedding, so will mess up the URLs a bit in case it’s considered spoilery.) We’re definitely seeing her in Blue for again, judging by this pic from Dec 2: pic(.)twitter(.)com/HUibn6YSAH And she’s in Mother Superior mode in this pic from Nov 26: pic(.)twitter(.)com/cdhR9I4hz9 and I’m inclined to think that that was a recent pic, because Raphael put this pic on his FB on Dec 2, and it looks like it was taken in a similar setting to that pic of just Keegan, and they’ve got Jared with them, which means it can’t have been a pic from any S3 ep filming for anything we’ve seen yet: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=665030726851752&set=pb.233372020017627.-2207520000.1386566397.&type=3&theater So I suspect we’re gonna see her revived somehow.
It is a bummer, but the shadows are still out there so there’s still hope. It got a shady feeling though about the whole thing, I think Pan’s got more motive than just distraction and to knock out a big magical user. the want for backstory has become a ever growing need.

And am totes on board with something like that happening.
I’ve tweeted Adam and Keegan O’Connor, so let’s see if I (and presumably the hundreds of others tweeting them the same question) get a response.
FYI my question was if Blue was really dead or just MOSTLY dead a la Magic Max.
Blue is not properly dead because of spoiler pics I think we will see her get her shadow reattached.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixAs meaningless as I think the the death was, I would prefer if they stick to the dead is dead idea even for an immortal magical being.
At some point they eventually have to let go of a supporting character or even a main character to raise the bar. Killing only redshirts just has not the same emotional impact. They’re putting the characters through the wringer, they had to deal with death before, they will have again, it’s a drama after all.
Always prefer, if they have no good use for a recurring character, to actively write them out; sometimes it’s enough to let them leave for some other place but sometimes you have to kill them before dragging on. What good has Mother Superior been in Storybrook? People have been all over the board, that she had to be either sneaky and even up to something even not so good to hold back, or that she maybe had been (or become) just a MacGuffin. Blue could have an interesting background story, but what could she do for the present time story to move on? Stop the next big bad? Will make people only make question her motives more, why she didn’t do anything before, or not much, and feed the theory, that she has her own sneaky agenda. Either the writers fully go for that and soon or let her rest in the present in peace as the good fairy I think they wanted her to be.
They had a huge problem with the character anyway the moment they gave the impression that she’s the biggest power of all. Still think, the way they said it on the show could very well be understood as Enchanted Forest folklore, while the character wasn’t meant to be all powerful by the writers, but that is a matter of interpretation. If there was a discrepance between Blue’s actual power and what people believe she could do, it could have made for an intersting moment. the classical moment, when the being you believe is like a godess turns out to be maybe stronger than average people but far from invincible, but they never made a moment of it. Didn’t need to be a whole episode about it, just a moment to reveal all powerful as legend, something that someone realizes and not something that shows pretty much by the way.
Given they still have that problem, because in past Fairy Tale land Blue is very much alive, so the question about her motives will stick around.
Anyone who encountered Pan before was telling, he is the scariest and biggest bad ever (aka so far on OUaT). One can say, no wonder, most of them where kids when they met him, and for a kid he could have looked a lot scarier than he does for adults, including lasting trauma (nightmares we had as kid have a tendency to bother us still as a adults). If the shadow killed Blue, and it can’t be undone, then finally Pan and his creepy shadow companion might prove to be the big bad they’ve been rumoured to be. It is the final straw it takes to make the in this case good guys (Navengers, kinda like the term) want to now kill Pan and not just lock him away for all eternity in a magic box (what a bad use of Pandora’s box btw, another waste). Listen to what Emma said to Gold. If they are going to kill the iconic character Pan on this show, what they might do or not, than they have to give some good argument for that – killing an iconic good character might suffice (yes, I know, Blue was not a good fairy for some fans of the show, but she is a good character in general)
Don’t get me wrong, was all there to defend Blue as good fairy and see some meaning in the character, but they’re not doing much with the character. More so, I love Keegan Connor Tracy and very much would love to see her eve more on OUaT, but I don’t believe that will happen one way or the other. The good thing is, we still can see Blue in flashbacks, but to me it makes by now a lot more sense to keep her dead for the present time, and be better writing.
¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
I think they made a point of showing that Tink still doesn’t quite believe in herself but has that pixie dust. While it may come into play for Blue, it may not with a new Curse coming.
I just think that of all the characters the shadow could have killed for a distraction, picking the one that so many have considered Sneaky for like 3 years is suspicious.
as many have pointed out we do see Blue alive and in her MS uniform in 313 but it’s unclear when that is
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
