WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS for 3x011

1) I might be reading too much into this, but the Blue Fairy's coffin was still closed when she "resurrected".  There has to be a purpose to that (other than cost of doubling her image in the bg).  I'm thinking perhaps the Black Fairy (maybe the Wicked Witch from the March promo) was released upon Blue's death and gave them the black wand so that she could be transported back to the Enchanted Forest with them, where she is more powerful or something.  It works out too because Regina didn't go with them to retrieve the wand (understandbly so, because she wanted to reunite with Henry and get the curse), so she couldnt've help recognize the Black Fairy.  I'm thinking that somehow the Black Fairy was trapped inside/bound to Blue Fairy's essense and was transported to StoryBrooke, unbeknownst to Regina.

2) I'm not sure how it could kill Peter Pan o_o  Did it just behave as a normal dagger or something?  I felt like Pan could've escaped those last moments quite easily.

3) I wonder why Hook got sent back to retrieve Emma and not Bae.  I'm thinking Bae got captured by the Wicked Witch from the promo :O

4) It's probably issues with funding or the actress, but I'm sad Ruby didn't appear in this episode.  The town population definitely seemed a lot smaller haha, but I guess it makes sense that not everybody would want to or need to bid Emma & Henry farewell at the town line.

Anyway, thanks for reading! What were your thoughts and lingering questions after tonight's winter finale? :]
