Why I think Farah Dowling is NOT dead
I posted my thoughts about that damn last Farah scene on Instagram, but decided to post it here to so here we go.
As awful as it looked, I am one of those people who won’t believe immediately at what she saw, especially when it comes to fantasy shows like Fate is.
Let’s just think about what we know so far - Farah Dowling is one of the most powerful fairies we got to see in these 6 episodes. She developed her powers through years and surely didn’t have enough time to show us what else she can do.
She is also very smart and thoughtful, she thinks ahead as much as she can. Will person, who is described as such, really think that, after keeping someone trapped for 16 years, won’t get any revenge back? Even if the tables were reversed, if Rosalind (evil person) kept Farah trapped (good person), Farah definitely wouldn’t let her walk always easily after that, she would get back at her. Now, imagine how angry Rosalind is inside and just waited for the first chance to destroy Farah.
And to think Farah was so careless to think she can just turn her back and walk away without expecting something like that? Come on!
Now, think about what Rosalind has just told her - Ben and Saul are trapped, Luna, Andreas and Luna’s army are already in Alfea, taking over. Under Rosalind’s command.
That means she is completely alone. With no one by her side. She would need to first make a plan how to free her friends, then another plan how to defeat 3 villains and a whole army plus some side followers (Beatrix, Dan), whilst taking back her school and making sure no student suffers from anything.
Doing everything on her own would be impossible for anyone. So she definitely needs to buy herself some time and make a good and thorough plan.
Let’s take a look at how she reacts in this scene.
She carefully listens to everything Rosalind says, looking her determinedly in the eyes, showing how confident she has become after all these years.
After she gets up from the bench and turns her back on her, she sighs secretly, showing her big level of self-control and tact. In her eyes and stiff body posture we see she is waiting for what’s next. For what she knows is coming - Rosalind’s attack.
Fighting her back would be pointless. If she won, she still would be alone against all other enemies I named.
One possibility is that they might make a parallel to the original cartoon.
In season 3, Valtor trapped Faragonda inside a tree. Winx freed her using magical water from Lynphea, Flora’s home. That being said, they might use this as a chance to bring Flora to the show.
Although this sounds like a solid explanation to me, I’d prefer if Farah redeems herself alone. We want our powerful fave to thrive and rise up.
Now, let’s compare the graves. At the beginning of this damn scene, we see Farah standing over buried bodies of the Burned Ones. We can see they are protruding, as they should.
And then let’s take a look at Farah’s “grave” as Rosalind tosses her away.
The grave dissolves. Not completely, but compared to the other 3 graves it is much smaller and not protruding at all. And it isn’t made to be like a fast forwarded scene (like it is the dissolve of a grave in some period of time, it’s in that exact moment).
To repeat myself, knowing Farah has mastered many powers that aren’t even mind powers, maybe she mastered illusion. Which she, somehow, used here.
If it isn’t illusion, she definitely saved herself somehow because the difference between graves is obvious.
One way, or another, I think writers/producers (etc.) realized how important Farah Dowling actually is how huge her audience actually is and how loved she is. As objective as I can be, I think she is the most loved character of all. I came across a lot of backfire for all other characters, but not about her.
And I think they also know the show will flop if she doesn’t come back, not only because of the audience’s reaction, but also it would show it is lazy writing. If Andras, a non magical person could’ve survived a sword through his body, I am sure our powerful and beautiful queen survived a cowardly, behind-the-back attack.
