There are many references to things being broken, smashed, and shattered this season. There are also many references to objects which involve looking or seeing (i.e. glass, mirror, sight).
4×5 – “Breaking Glass”
4×8 – “Smash the Mirror”
4×10 – “Shattered Sight”
The Snow Queen story involved a broken mirror imagery, which lead to hearts being corrupted. Sounds like a running theme of people metaphorically not being able to see clearly, to their vision or perception being distorted. Their ability to view things correctly is impaired or corrupted. Their judgment is off. Just my two cents.
Unfortunately REFLECTION usually occurs after a crisis….. A person only has their moral code to fall back on during the crisis. At the rate the crisis has occurred on ONCE I do not think anyone has had time to breath let alone analysis what has been occurring in STORYBROOKE.
I personally have been enjoying the shows progression. I have been hearing a lot of complains on the various forums but I look forward each week to the episode as it is presented.
