Boobfairy wrote: Yeah. For some reason I doubt that we'll ever see the Blue Fairy's backstory because she's older than Rumplestiltskin. People just assume she's immortal and has been there forever. If the writers wanted to give us a backstory for her they would have done it a long time ago. Since her origins are supposedly tied with the beginning of magic as the "Original Power," her origin would probably show the beginning of Fairy Tale Land itself which would be out of context in this show. It would be like including the beginning of the universe in a show about modern people. The Blue Fairy's backstory is unfortuneately irrelevant to the plot.

2001 a space odyssey pretty much did that (Opening scene is prehistoric ape-men dealing with the alien black obelisk then jumping to the near future and interplanetary travel...)

So I don't see the Blue Fairy's backstory as totally irrelevant to OUAT plot. Maybe Blue and the Sorcerer where there at the beginning when FTL was created - important backstory element/flashback.
