    Blue is neither Obi-Wan or Darth. She is Emperor Palpatine, the one pulling all the strings making stuff happen under the facade of good.

    Totally. (Unless PP is our Palpatine figure) I seem to remember everyone laughing about Sneaky Fairy being Sneaky in S1 and 2 whenever we brought it up. 🙂 There are just so many things off about her!

    I’m thinking it’s probably some big garden in the sky. Maybe it’s the show’s version of Pixie Hollow? I know that that’s supposed to be in NL, but perhaps in Once, it’s just a totally separate land where Fairies live that exists between other worlds?

    So, the question of whether fairy rules apply to Wonderland fairies was brought up in the chat. In the lastest episode of Once Wonderland, a new fairy named Silvermist was introduced. Incidentally, the name Silvermist is also the name of one of Tinkerbelle’s friends in the new Disney “Pixie Hollow” films. Anyway, it was revealed that Silvermist had previously had a one-night stand with the knave and was angry with him for leaving in the middle of the night. Yet, Silvermist still has her wings, despite being unchaste. Silvermist is also vindictive and dropped the knave in the water, even though he couldn’t swim. Perhaps WL fairies get away with a heck of a lot more since there don’t seem to be rules there. Traditionally, fairies like Tinkerbell are quite flippant and volatile since their small size means they can only hold one emotion at a time. Maybe the fairies actually NEED someone strict like Blue Fairy/Mother Superior to keep them in check. Otherwise, they end up being more menaces than benevolent fairy godmother types.

    I agree.

    I am SO confused by WL fairies. Silvermist came when Alice and Knave clapped (NL myth) but she had an obvious sexual relationship with Knave and cared about him and the fact that he hurt her (this is against FTL fairies).

    There may not be a fairy godmother in Wonderland at all.  EF is all about order.  Wonderland to me, is like a wild party.  Anything goes.

    Different realms, different rules.

    Does that mean Blue didn’t banish Tink to NL if her power is only in the EF? Does this mean there are “blue” authority figures in every realm (except WL which I do agree seems to be a “whatever you want goes” sorta place.)

    I think once a fairy loses her wings and power, that’s it.  There’s no way to get them back unless probably Blue gives them back.

    Just thought I’d put that out there with the Chess game idea.

    🙁 Poor Tink! Slurpeez had a really cool idea that if belief is brought back to NL then Tink could get her wings back since it was the lack of belief that took them away. I wonder if Tink will go to SB with the JR5/6/7 when all is said and done. I’d love a Tink vs Blue show down.

    Oooooooooh!  I’d love that too.  We’ve never seen fairy vs. fairy on Once.
