I don’t know what’s going on exactly now 😆
But I find this interesting,the start of Broken didn’t make sense to me at first and when I watched it the first time I thought I was on the wrong channel 😆 ,the beginning didn’t make sense in how the sounds/music appearing and the switching of scenes wasn’t normal ‘Once’ style to me. I’m still a little confused on what it might mean altogether but it is an interesting idea
Craxyfox…I’ve got some screen shots and more details that I will post tomorrow…I’m directing a children’s play this evening and I’m still working on last minute costume problems. One pattern to look for that helps support the theory is that when we see obvious “errors”..Clock Tower reflection in the window with no clock on top…props behind Emma changing etc…in these cases the characters are talking about deceiving people..operation Cobra talk…throwing people off track talk.
We also have some scenes where it looks like the camera is pointed toward a scene but the camera is really pointing toward a mirror and the real scene is behind us…in these scenes there is trickery going on. Example: Emma and Sidney discussing the info they got when they broke into Regina’s office. We later realize that Emma has been tricked by Sidney and Regina…it was all a set up. Another example is when Emma is looking at the art work above Jefferson’s fireplace. the camera pans back and we realize that we have been looking in a mirror. That whole scene is about Jefferson setting Emma up…tricking her. Another example…when Henry is riding his bike to his castle and he sees that it is damaged and his book is gone…we first see Henry riding his bicycle toward us and then the camera pulls back and we realize we have been seeing Henry in the reflection of Emma’s side mirror. We later learn that the whole castle thing was a trick that Regina pulled on Emma and Henry. These are just three scenes that come to my mind…there may be more.
I’m looking forward to the next half of the season, because now…there is a good chance that there are things that we thought we knew…but will turn out to be something completely different. 😀
