extract from ‘Sincerely, Hook’
[adrotate group="5"]there will be always be light and the dark. you can’t have one without the other, otherwise it would be unbalanced. (not to mention, boring).
I like that theory, that Blue mistakenly created the Dark One curse in some kind of misguided attempt. It reminds me of the concept of yin and yang. For every dark there is a light, two sides to every coin, etc. I wonder if her messing with the balance of nature ripped apart something and created something unnatural in the magical realm. Sort of how it wasn’t good that Victor worked to bring back his brother and fight the laws of life and death. The result wasn’t pretty. Or it’s just that the Dark One’s powers slipped into the Enchanted Forest and really don’t belong there.
OMG, this is awesome on so many levels 🙂
Just to play (Blue) Devil’s advocate, how do we know Dreamy and Nova were /are true love? BF said it was just a dream, and we saw how magical dust from Nova hit his egg, causing him to be hatched early and to kind of, like birds do, be imprinted on her. He saw her face in a dream in the egg. They did not spend a lot of time together before wanting to run away together.
I think they were and as you pointed out, Dreamy was already bonded to Nova because of the fairy dust falling on his egg.

Maybe, but I think the anti-love rule probably goes back further than Rumple’s Dark One curse. I mean, the Blue Fairy is the oldest magic in the land (I think it was said that she was the original magic back in season 1), then she made the rule for a reason. As much as I don’t trust the Blue Fairy, I’d still like to see her backstory one day — which would probably be an “origin of it all” episode, maybe even the creation of fairytale land.
I agree with you, actually.
🙂
Let’s say Blue had a TL but that TL was dying. So she created a spell that would heal him but, as magic does, it had unintended consequences, namely it turned her TL into the First Dark One and also ageless. In order to rid the land of this new evil, she created “the Dark One’s knife” and put it in the hands of someone she thought she could trust, but there are more unintended consequences and so on and so forth.
That is the best theory I’ve seen relating to the curse of the Dark One and the Blue Fairy. It sounds so epic too.

Another point, supporting ep 2. being a Tamara centric, Vasquez also wrote ‘Selfless, Brave & True’ which also showed her backstory last season. which has also been since then deleted from my DVR.
Which is why I’m a little worried about this episode. I think she also co-wrote “Tiny” which wasn’t my favorite episode either. S,B and T is my least favorite OUAT episode thus far but Chambliss has co-written some goodies (with his former writing partner) so hopefully this will be ok.
I don’t know how they split up writing episodes between two writers but hopefully, with a strong writer like Chambliss, I hope he takes over the brunt of the work.
It’s like me writing action – I suck at it and only write action when it’s required but I don’t go out my way to make it happen.
Happy weekend! Spoiler Alert.. Season3 EP 2 I'd off the hook!! Wait till you see it, you'll love it!! #OUATSeason3

I meant Is. Thank you! RT “@MaggieLovitt: @NaomiKikko Did you me "IS off the hook" or do you mean "I'd off the hook"?”

It’s probably a long set rule, much like the Jedi from the Star Wars prequels. Their only purpose is to serve and protect the people. They aren’t allowed to fall in love, because that would deter/distract them from their cause in life.
Considering this, it’s pretty obvious why the fairies became nuns. Similar job requirement.
Yup!
Perhaps she is so anti-true love when it comes to fairies because of the price she paid in creating the Dark One’s Curse–namely, her love.
Maybe, but I think the anti-love rule probably goes back further than Rumple’s Dark One curse.

Could one price for the fairies be living without love? Blue tells us that fairies aren’t meant to fall in love, and even in Storybrooke they’re nuns.
I definitely say yes.
Being a fairy means helping people of FT land, probably 24/7. I’d actually like to see a statistic about how many times people wish for stuff in FT, how fast the fairies respond, or if for every person who makes a wish, there’s an equal ratio of fairies to consider that wish.

which goes back to my statistic thing. If Nova and Dreamy were really in love and wanted to run off together, and there’s countless fairies and dwarves being hatched every few months — why should the Blue Fairy care? Because it goes against what they’re meant to do.

So, all things considered, I’m going with this ep being Snowing centric FTL flashbacks that will involve them meeting up with Snow’s old buddy RH, (we all figure he’s the one who taught her how to hunt), who will recount the story of how he lost Marian when she and their baby had to be sent to another world. Keeps Snowing heavily involved with the storyline of their centric ep, though the ep title refers primarily to Tamara, and how her father lost her as a baby, and how lost she’s feeling in NL in present day
This sounds very possible, and then we have Tamara telling Henry about how she grew up without her mother,ect ect, without having to actually show us Tamara’s backstory.
I agree.
Another point, supporting ep 2. being a Tamara centric, Vasquez also wrote ‘Selfless, Brave & True’ which also showed her backstory last season. which has also been since then deleted from my DVR.
Let’s remember that often times the title of the episode refers to more than one person, so “lost girl” could refer to Tamara and whatever her backstory is but it also obviously has to refer to Snow in FTL of the past
True.
I think HappyEndings is correct that Tamara was never in NL. A and E said at SDCC that GOAT do not know they are working for PP. I think she was born in our world to Marian. I’m starting to suspect, based on the TVLine spoiler about RH being in SB with Belle, that RH did not follow Marian through to our world 3 years before the Curse hit so that explains why he is in SB. Marian dies when Tamara is a young girl and her “grandmother” (FGM possibly?) tells Tamara that magic might have been able to save Marian but this world has no magic thus turning Tamara bitter against magic.
That actually makes sense.
