Well, the last bean was a lie. We know that from Tiny. Unless the Blue Fairy was unaware of either the giant’s continual existence or their continued harvesting of the beans. In any case, that brings back up my point which is: what was the Blue Fairy doing? If her magic is dwindling then alright I will await further evidence of that, but is she unaware of what is going on in her realm? Rumple’s powers keep getting stronger but she does nothing? Yet she can rally all the fairies to help Snow rescue Charming using some of that precious fairy dust?
In one of the other Blue Fairy threads, quite awhile ago, I wondered if Blue spent time in other places and that’s why she didn’t realize what Rumple was doing until it was too late. Tinkerbell travels between Neverland and our world with Peter, so it’s not out of the question that Blue could be a traveler. So what was doing over there (wherever that may have been?)[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"@KFChimera wrote:

Was she the “original” or “ultimate” power according to Morraine? Either way, 300 years later things might be different, and her relative amount of power could be less. After all, an original computer is nowhere near as powerful as the ones we use today. Rumpel upgraded himself in all kinds of ways, but maybe that is not possible for a fairy.
I do agree that the writers should explain more clearly why. Is it because there are not enough “pure hearts” who she can help? A limit of fairy dust she can use per day? We fans can muse about it, but it really is a gap that the writers should address with more than a tweet.
As Myril points out, Morriane calls her the original power and bigger than anything. I do agree with Myril that original and ultimate are problematic when used together but I think the fans have been doing (I know I’m guilty of it and will curb that from here on out).
But she is called bigger than Rumple which to means her magic is supposed to be, for wont of a better word, “better” (not morally but strength wise).
I’m disappointed we haven’t seen a stand off between Blue and Rumple in SB. They’ve had virtually no interaction since The Return in S1 and I think there is a lot of story to tell between them and just about Blue in general."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"@Sarah_TN wrote:
We’re moving this week so I won’t be able to be on the computer much and can’t listen to the interview right now. Does anybody know if she gave any insights on Hook?
She does say that he’ll be back in SB very soon and that it will be very interesting to see what he does. (paraphrasing) She couldn’t give too much away. She can’t remember if he’ll be in Welcome to Storybrooke, but that he does come back soon.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Why do you think anyone would be able to stop/break the curse? It was written in the curse itself that only the child of Snow and David would be able to break it.
Rumple wrote that into the curse, but the curse existed before Snow and Charming and Emma. Emma was Rumple assurance that they wouldn’t be forever trapped in SB. And Blue knew of the Curse. Once she saw what Rumple was doing, I just want to know what she was doing. If she was unable to prevent it, then why did it take Regina threatening Snow and Charming on their wedding day for her to get to work?

Hmmm. Rumple’s pretty old though, and his powers only grew as he got older. Now, there might be something to magic disappearing from FTL. Blue told Gepetto that the tree that he fashioned into a wardrobe was the last of its kind. She also told Bae that the bean she gave him was the last magic bean, the others had been lost. Either that was a lie or she really believes the beans to be lost because we know it’s not true.

You mean by outsiders?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Who says that any power could have stopped the Dark Curse? No matter how powerful otherwise. Yes, Cora was able to protect a tiny spot of the Fairy Tale lands, or more precise, she was able to keep people in that tiny spot from being transported to the other world, but they were frozen in time like the people in Storybrooke. What Cora did was a tiny modicication of the curse for a few, but was not any close to stopping it. So, should the Blue Fairy have done the same, protect a few, the charming family maybe while most other would still suffer?
How many times has this show harped on the concept that good defeats evil? It’s one of the reoccurring themes. I would like to see what Blue was doing for 250+ years while Rumple was putting his plans together. I think that is a story that needs to be told. In “The Return” she (granted unintentionally) leads Rumple to the Curse, but makes the caveat that at least his powers aren’t strong enough to cast the Dark Curse, to which Rumple replies that he will work his whole life, love nothing else, do nothing else, until he can cast that Curse. At some point, she should have stepped in, yes? She didn’t prevent him from obtaining the ability to see the future, or manipulating Regina. I think that if one of the defying themes of this show is that good defeats evil (however one may define such loaded terms) then we need to see what Blue was doing or not doing. If she’s not “evil” or the puppet master, then what does motivate her? We know she’s interfered before, and sometimes to the emotional determent of others (Nova and Grumpy for instance). She is still the only link we know of that connects August and NealFire. And I know Adam has confirmed that she didn’t have her memories during the cursed years but we still have yet to learn what her “final preparations” were before the curse hit (The Stranger).
I agree that there is no such thing as ultimate power, it would be a too convenient plot device if there were, (though as you pointed out, Morriane did call her bigger than anything and I think we need to take into consideration that’s how the writers have described her and therefore how we should view her) we rarely see Blue do anything spectacular, or at least maybe the kind of spectacular we expect. She turned Pinocchio into a real boy and Jiminy into a cricket, but in other times she’s relied on other magic (the tree, the bean) to fix a situation."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
