According to the Snow Queen, mirrors can show our desires, ours moods, and reflect what we want. How do you think the mirror the SQ is building will help her with her end goals? How did she get all the shards? What’s important about them?
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I thought by the end of this ep we’d see a mirror shattered to tie into the original Snow Queen story, and the next several eps would be the fallout from all the shards making people see and do bad stuff. Maybe that’s still a thing she intends to do, she just had to get the right mirror bits put together first so it can cause maximum devastation?
Her little mirror monologue was one of the best bits of dialogue on the show in a while.
I’m betting that giant mirror she’s been piecing together will shatter at some point.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I thought it was weird how the mirror was somehow magical without Sidney in it. I mean, Sidney wasn’t confined to a specific mirror, he could travel between them as he liked. Are all of the mirrors he showed up in filled with magic?
And why did they make it sound like Regina had imprisoned Sidney back in EF? It was the wish he made, not dark magic.
That mirror is totally the mirror of Erised. we even had a Harry Potter reference earlier in the episode.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixWhat if the mirror was the whole reason she captured Kai in this version of the story? He had two pieces of the mirror in him.

Because Sidney had been in it the very moment she freed him, there was a kind of rest residue of the magical energy that had bind him to mirrors. 😉
Seriously, good question. But seeing the mess with hearts and ripped hearts I wouldn’t expect much coherence with mirror and their magic either.

Interesting idea. Whoever the Kai here would be.
Putting here as well some thoughts I had concerning Snow Queen and mirrors in another topic.
What the Snow Queen said about mirrors and the question, why she is gathering mirror pieces, reminded me of an image from a Star Trek Next Generation episode (yeah, the miraculous ways minds can work), one of its best episodes actually, called Frame of Mind. In short: Will Riker, First Officer of the starship Enterprise D, kinda believes for a while to be a patient in a psychiatric ward, struggling with delusions and with his identity. There is a scene where fake, imagined worlds around him shatter like a mirror. Not exactly a new image, shattered mirror, but found it used in that TGN episode in one of the best visual ways.
Shattered mirrors are a useful image for shattered identities, shattered minds, mirrors are reflecting our persona. So, shattered mirror -> shattered mind / identity -> part of our identity is to be recognized by other people as ourselves -> so Snow Queens identity sort of shattered and lost but less because she isn’t recognizing herself but because other aren’t recognizing her, not remembering her? To actually get a loving family you need to be remembered, recognized, visible (!). So she is trying to put herself together maybe, finding the right pieces she thinks she needs to overcome the curse of being forgotten by people?Just fractured ideas at this point though.
¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯

What was the HP reference, POM? I must have missed that.
I wonder if the mirror is like the hat. The more pieces that are added to more powerful it becomes. I wonder if the pieces of the mirror come from different magical items. Like maybe pieces of a looking glass that can help her travel between worlds or see into other worlds. She had known have learned about Emma somehow.
Nothing is impossible on OUAT. Everything has a way of repeating itself. Keeper of the Keeper tread: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/topic/official-keeper-thread-3/#post-217924

When Emma saw Lily’s “brand” Lily said it made her feel special like Harry Potter.
And, Lily–the name–is a HP reference, sorta. HP’s mom was Lily Potter.
