    I am going to show my age but back in the days when Walt had his show and did the introduction he often had a MAGIC MIRROR on the wall that used an old character actor named HANS CONRIED.

    Instead of the genie being the genie from ALADDIN I think he is a throwback to Hans Conried, who was dark, had a deep voice and use to introduce the animated feature FAIRY-TALES.

    DOES anyone else remember him?

    Well this surely brings back some ancient memories from more than 40 years ago! LOL
    I found this video on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndKLWZb8Lw0
    Around the 5:00 marker Disney introduces the Magic Mirror. I believe this may be the same guy you mention, Nonnie. Hans Conried also portrayed Captain Hook in the Peter Pan animated movie, among other Disney characters.

    Sidney’s known Identity of the Genie/Man in Mirror and the Reporter & Editor of The Mirror are fairly obvious connections but, based on the clues, who else could Sidney be?

    I believe, Sidney may also be: The Writer of the Book.. All you have to do is think about the unique situation that gave him a special perspective on things in FTL – and maybe, elsewhere. If his identity is XXXXX, I believe his motivation behind this would include seeing his heart’s desire be fulfilled (Regina) in exchange for fulfilling his part of a larger plan that involves other characters with as much to lose or gain.

    I also believe Sidney is being played as a bumbling character but I feel has become all the wiser and quite Masterful, having been trapped behind the mirror so long. I don’t feel he is working exclusively for Regina and I suspect, he may not be alone or exactly trapped inside the Realm of Mirrors. We’ve already seen at least one possible portal in and out of his predicament.

    Thoughts, anyone?
