Other Side of the Mirror: A Once Upon a Time fan podcast

In this recap of The Evil Queen, we discuss Regina and Snow and whether the show's constant flashbacks add to or detract from the arcs for the two characters. Also new this week:

*We analyze the scene between Henry and Regina with all the nuances we can muster

*Alex senses a dumbed down version of the Evil Queen in Fairytale Land

*Bri has an excellent recall of distant plot points like bankrupting King George has something to do with Abigail

*We imagine a world where Rumple and Regina judge Project Runway and Tamara is a member of the Westboro Baptist Church

*We also trash Gorton's fish sticks, mess around with bird feeders and speculate about the finale!

Another book club episode! This time we discuss J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. Peter Pan – a selfish, impulsive boy who is also generous and brave. Peter longs for a mother figure, but wants that mother to meet his idea of perfection.

We think this is an obvious paralell to Henry, who holds other characters, including his mothers, to standards they have a hard time living up to. Topics include: Is anyone on the show really Wendy? The mysteries of Barrie's portrayal of Hook, and how Once's Hook stacks up. The idea of coming-of-age and Peter Pan, how do we see the show going to Neverland and more!

Plus feedback from Anika and Timespacer dissect Henry a bit more, while Sarah and Erin tell us what they did and didn't like from Welcome to Stoybrooke. Check out the show notes on othersideofthemirror.com for links to Carey's website, book series, etc.

In this recap of Selfless, Brave and True, we analyze how this episode fell apart and why August is a missed opportunity for both Emma and Neal.

What else are we talking about this week?

*Contributions by Hope, Nonnie, Eric, Pearl, Sarah, John, Aleanna, Erin, Kelly and Jeanne!

*Tamara's Taser of Doom!

*Wooden Swan shippers are sad. Wooden Thief shippers are sad. Swan Thief Shippers are happy. All other ships were ignored.

*If Alex and Bri talked like Tamara and Neal their dialogue would go something like this:

Alex: You know the other day I was on Planet 9, so I didn't get the dishes done.

Bri: This is something you're just making up because you're still in love with the Swan Girl!

Show Notes

Greg and Tamara instantly reminded Bri of Boris and Natasha. Anyone want to tell us who the Rocky and Bullwinkle of Once Upon a Time would be?

Well..... that was With this episode, Bri has just two more patience cards left in her deck. We thought this was the worst episode of Once Upon a Time ever. Even Belle complains (loudly) on this podcast. Share your feedback with us, please!

In honor of the episode Welcome to Storybrooke, this recap features throwback intro music as performed by the Clovers. (Don't worry, it's a one-time only engagement....)

We begin by discussing how Welcome to Storybrooke is the bookend to the episode Queen of Hearts, which gave us the first Regina/Cora casket scene, the first documented use of heart-ventriloquism, Charming in yet another coma and a scene with Henry and his mothers at the well.

Other topics include:

It's 1983 but Regina does NOT have time for shoulder pads!

Alex goes all over the map (and then some) with old TV references – Lassie, Swingtown, the Twilight Zone, the X-Files, What Not to Wear, Siskel & Ebert at the Movies, and the saddest Dukes of Hazard episode ever.

Bri wonders why Graham's heart retained magical properties when there is no magic in Storybrooke!

A quick reminder that Gold enacted the curse and brought magic to Storybrooke, in order to get vengeance -- plus his son back... sound familiar?

We recorded before we got most of the feedback but we appreciate ALL of it and will discuss it during our next fan episode, coming soon...

Instant reactions to Welcome to Storybrooke. We discuss five likes, five dislikes (and two bonus likes!) return to cursed Storybrooke, Groundhog Day Style! Including: 1. Welcome back, season 1. 2.

We warn Adam H. not to make Greg Regina's love interest and more..
