Murray's performance and the wardrobe (and the fact she is amazingly good looking) was the only saving grace of the character The Black Fairy was indirectly mentioned in 103. Seems like a pretty good set up to me. Yes, they could have made her motivations clearer, but the character itself was probably always intended to be the final Big Bad for Emma. Indirectly referencing her once in a passing moment does not equal setting up a Big Bad at the end of the whole show.

I'm still not convinced. It was rushed and sloppy even by this show's standards. Overall she was a pretty weak villain.

If you want to discuss this further there is a negative thoughts on the Rant and Rave board so we don't dull this thread's sparkle It was breadcrumbs on purpose. They slowly referenced her or things she did over the seasons. Season 1 we had that, Season 3 the Blue Fairy metioned her directly by name because we needed her wand, Season 4 we found out the Dark Curse was created by someone, etc. Not all final bads have to be constantly talked about the entire show. Her execution may have had issues, but her set up was there.
