    OMG THIS! If they already had the wishing star (an item they retrieved on a voyage to the foreign land, so yeah, they shoulda known what it was) why did they even need to go on the voyage that got them killed? Just make a wish that Elsa wasn’t magical, or that her magic wouldn’t hurt anyone. Problem solved.

    I don’t think the problem would be solved, because I don’t think Queen Gerda was pure of heart. Her husband probably was just her consort who went along with everything his wife commanded. Even assuming Elsa’s parents did wish for their daughter to be “normal” (i.e. powerless), that wish doesn’t seem like a pure-hearted one to me. Their daughter was born with special talents, but her parents didn’t recognize them as such. After way Gerda trapped Ingrid in that bottle for killing Helga, it seems like Gerda was afraid of Elsa killing Anna. It sounds like a very selfish wish, one meant to protect themselves and Anna, rather than trying to help Elsa learn to control her power.

    They could have got Elsa to wish her own powers away. She did grow up terrified of them, and I’m sure her parents wouldn’t have had to work too hard to persuade her.

    Smelly, smelly plot device is smelly.

    It’s possible that Blackbeard could’ve survived the feeding frenzy if the sharks were fighting one another because they wanted to be the one to eat him hence the bubbles. The likelihood that Blackbeard would’ve survived the feeding frenzy with absolutely no injuries whatsoever is the more unlikely of the two. Ariel saving Blackbeard is plausible since she needed his information to find out where Eric was and he would’ve owed her for saving his life.

    All magic comes with a price!

    When this episode comes out on DVD, I’m going to watch it with the subtitles file from Backstroke of the West:

    the wish power are together with you

    See this is where I actually find that it works.

    How many wishes does that Wishing Star have? Did they tell us?

    Elsa didn’t even try to wish away the Shattered Sight spell.
