There’s something iffy about the Blue Fairy in my opinion, I don’t think she’s a good and innocent as she likes to make out she is. She was too eager to want to get rid of Rumpelstiltskin for some reason and then she practically rubbed salt into his wounds by saying that it was his fault that Baelfire left. She could have been sympathetic, afterall he was a man who’d just lost his son, but she wasn’t. There was a reason why she offered Baelfire that exact solution and Rumpelstiltskin screwed it up by not going with Baelfire so she’s got something going on I reckon.
Interesting point. A lot of people have grown suspicious of the Blue Fairy. Her intentions are quite clear, however, he TRUE intentions aren’t. I hope we get more insight into her character in the finale.
[adrotate group="5"]Thank God! I was wondering when we were going to see Belle again. It’s been months since the last time we saw her. I’m glad she’ll be in the finale. Next to Jefferson, she’s been my favorite guest star.

That brings up the question of what exactly Emma’s power is. I have a feeling her power is making things magical again (e.g. the hat, the compass). She will never be able to actively use magic like Regina or Rumpel, but she somehow triggers the magical attributes of objects or maybe even people. Thus, if Emma got her hands on that dagger, it could very well start working again.
If you’re right (and I suspect that you are), then that makes Emma a very dangerous weapon. Not Emma herself, but the magic that she brings. If she’s able to infuse magic into something without magic, then she could easily be used by someone. Rumpel would be the main candidate for this, since Regina doesn’t even seem to know who she is.
That’s actually a really good point. If Emma isn’t careful, she could fall pray to someone seeking her magic for their own purposes. I would usually place Rumpel or Regina in that catagory, but Rumpel’s main goal is to find his son, and Regina doesn’t know who she is (yet). However, we did just find out that August wants to use her magic to heal his sickness. So, Emma has already fallen victim to someone trying to use her.
This all feeds into my theory that it won’t necessarily be Emma who actively breaks the curse. Rumpel said that Emma will be the “key” to breaking the curse, not the leader or enforcer. Keys need to be held someone. Keys need to go into a lock. Keys are in-and-of themselves, victims. They’re used by people to achieve a certain goal. This could be a hint to what may happen to Emma.
I’ve actually seen this kind of thing in a lot of movies and television shows. Everyone is obsessed with the “magical girl.” Not because of anything she herself has accomplihed, but because she holds some special kind of magic or gene. In this case, Emma has been given magic via the curse. The Vampire Diaries did this, True Blood did this, and a host of other shows and movies. Emma may end up being the sacrifical lamb at the end of this story. Now I’m curious to find out who will be the actual leader of the battle. Who will be guiding (or manipulating) Emma in this fight. After all this talk of Baelfire being Henry’s father, I want to say it’ll be him. The curse is actually about him. The curse’s main objective was to find Baelfire.
Or, it may end up being Henry himself.

I actually think Rumpel will find a way to leave Storybrooke. And we already know that he will eventually find out about Belle. I’ve read a few theories that say Rumpel will eventually form an alliance with the Blue Fairy and she will help reunite him with both Bele and Baelfire. I guess it would make sense for her character. In fairytale land she was extrememly powerful, but in Storybrooke, she’s just a nun. She has no grand purpose in life anymore. Yes, she’s very religious, but she hasn’t been able to effect a large amount of people like she did in Storybrooke. And her status as a nun is false. She’s not really a nun, and we’re not even sure how religion works in Storybrooke. I wouldn’t be surrpised to see her letting her guard down and helping Rumpel find Baelfire. However, I think she would only agree to do it she truly believes that finding Baelfire or Belle would help Rumpel be a better man in some way.
Hmm. The Blue Fairy as Rumpel’s personal savior? Hmm, I kind of like this theory. A lot of people have speculated that Mother Superior has all of her memories, so this may come to fruition.
I personally like the theory that the Blue Fairy has been secretly keeping tabs on Baelfire. The Fairy God mother becoems an actual mother. I like the poetry of it all. 😀

I’ve seen this mentioned before somewhere here, that Mr. Gold/Rumple is reminicient of Severus Snape from Harry Potter. Throughout the entire series, until his final moments in the last book, you never knew what side he was really on. It was the most interesting and perplexing thing about the series. His loyalty to Lily’s memory was behind everything he did, similar to Rumple’s situation regarding Bae (and to an extent Belle). Will we ever truly know what side Rumple is really on? The big difference between the two characters for me, though, is that I was never a fangirl of Snape. Being a teacher, I despised the way he treated his students. No matter what side he was on, I could never forgive him for this. However, I have no problem trying to rationalize away squashing poor cart drivers and killing mute maids. 😕
Another note, I was rewatching part of “Heart of Darkness” and caught myself unexpectly giggling everytime Rumple giggled…something I really don’t do the first time watching probably because I’m so into the show on the first time around. This got me thinking that I really wouldn’t like this character if any other actor would have played him. Robert Carlyle is just fantastic. I was actually really surprised when I realized that he was the lead in one of my all time favorite movies The Full Monty. He’d best get nominated come Emmy time.
I agree with the Severus Snape comparison. Severus started out as kind of weak and pathetic. A lot like how Rumpel started out. But then he found power and decided to join the Death Eaters. Just like how Rumpel found the power of the Dark One. But after the death of Lily Evans, Severus swore to protect the last living memory of her. Her son, Harry. Rumpel did this to a certain extent with him vowing to find his son and rescue him.
Severus’s loyalties and true intentions were always unclear. And even though he was eventually revealed to be on the good side, he was still pretty frightening to the school children. His main reason for siding with the good guys is because he promised to protcet Lily’s son at all costs. His love for her outweighed anything and everything. The same goes for Rumpel. He’ll eventually find himself on the side of good, but not because he is good, but because his love for Baelfire and Belle will bring him over to the side of good.
Emma’s description of Henry’s father is a little confusing. First she describes him as gentle and heroic, but then she describes him as nothing but trouble. I believe it’ll be a mixture of both. I do think that Henry’s father was a bit of troublemaker, but I don’t think to the extent that Emma makes him out to be. Emma was also a bit of a troublemaker and she has already proven herself to have questionable judgement about certain issues, even now in Storybrooke. So, I could easily see Emma making a few things up to make herself look a little more sympathetic. But we’ll just have to wait and see.
I’d love to see more Greek or Egyptian mythology on the show. In my opinion, it’s darker and a little more interesting than some of the Grimm fairytales. Or the Disney versions of them.
I’d like to call that Mary Margaret and David’s kiss actually does the opposite of what it’s supposed to do. I think it will reverse all the progress that has been made since Emma arrived in town. I don’t have any real evidence to back up my prediction, but I think it’s interesting nonetheless.
I don’t think Mr. Gold lied about the power of the dagger. But I do think that there are a lot of conflicting rules in regards to magic in Storybrooke. Emma’s presence makes the rules a little unclear. Magic isn’t supposed to exist in Storybrooke, but because of Emma’s presence, it does.
I always love seeing polls about characters. I’ve seen similar results on other websites too. After Skin Deep, Rumpelstiltskin became incredibly popular. I visited 5 different online polls and they all had Rumpelstiltskin as the winner. I’ve seen this type of phenomenon before. The writers set up the story so that the heroes and good guys are meant to be the center of story, and thus the most popular. But the villains or anti-heroes always come out on top as far as the fandom is concerned. But writers always tend to write villains with more depth than the other characters. So, it makes sense that they would have more fans.
Thanks for everyone’s response!
