Once Upon a Time Episode Discussion Thread 4x05 - Breaking Glass

4x05: Breaking Glass
October 26, 2014 @ 8:00 p.m. Eastern


Description: Regina reluctantly teams up with Emma to search for the Snow Queen after Sidney, who is once again Regina's prisoner in the mirror, discovers her whereabouts and agrees to lead her to the location. With Belle babysitting baby Neal, a nervous Mary Margaret and David prepare for their first date night away from their child and find themselves on a mission to track down Will Scarlet, who has escaped from the town jail, and Elsa sees Anna in the Storybrooke woods. Meanwhile, back in the past, young Emma finds herself a kindred spirit when she befriends a girl who, like her, is a runaway orphan.

I think we're all hoping for lots of Lana.
With a huge cut back on scenes of her lately, I'm sure we could use alot of scenes in this ep of her. *crosses fingers*

Or I'm hoping for atleast more than 2 scenes of her. That's the most we've been getting lately. Is like 2-3 scenes tops. And not very long scenes either.

My thoughts:

I liked the Regina and Emma scenes. I never thought I cared about these two being friends, but this episode kind of changed my mind. From the promo for next week it looks like Regina, Robin, Emma and Hook will be working together and I'm kind of liking this. (I can't believe I'm saying that.)

Sidney betraying Regina was predictable. If he's still residing in SB he might want to find a way out of town before Regina finds him. I wonder if we'll ever see him again? Regina's fury (and Lana's acting) was SO good when she realized Sidney had betrayed her. I loved her screaming "Traitor!!" at him.

The Snow Queen and her memory wipe abilities are totally creeping me out. She freed Sidney though so I think she's not totally evil. I think she has an agenda and she'll do what is necessary to get what she wants, but I'm not sure she's the type to randomly go around hurting people. This just adds to the idea that Marian was not chosen at random to be frozen.

Elsa knocking the Snow Queen on her ass and telling her to fight her. Loved it. You go Elsa, maybe I can have some respect for your character after all. Just don't stay too long.

I feel like I missed something important with the Snow Queen wanting Regina's mirror. What did she need it for? She put a portion of it into her broken mirror, but why? Is she trying to use Regina's magic? Or a portion of her soul (she said something about mirrors being a receptacle for a fraction of our soul)?

Why was Regina's magic red when she and Emma were fighting the ice gladiator thing? Her magic has never been red.

Who's the creepster taking pics of Robin and Regina making out in the hallway at Granny's and why does Regina have it in a frame? Same creepster is taking pics of Emma and Neal? Why are they not as confused by this as I am? But Regina openly admitting that Robin is her true love...ahhhh.

I can't believe they included part of the deleted Snow/Regina scene in the "previously on". I want to see the whole scene!!

I'm sorry but I loved when you were talking about the creepster taking pics of OQ/SF. I'm thinking the same. Because I mean... like how did both Emma and Regina get those pictures?

And as for the rest of what you said... I'm with you.
I also loved the flashbacks of Emma and Lily. It was sad though that their friendship didn't last I thought they would've been great friends. They seemed to have alot of cute moments. (I also adore that Nicole Muñoz was playing Lily bc she's amazing on Defiance)

So what is everyone thinking about this episode?

It was wonderful to see Regina finally having a great screentime. And Lana's performance was amazing. So that definitely increase my enjoyment.

Some of Regina's oneliners were hilarios, I loved Regina and found her in character but rather don't want to know what Emma's fans are thinking.....unfortunately I found Emma's acting towards Regina little ooc.

I LOVED the episode.

but just like you sherry i was wondering who took the pictures lol. seems like everyone from and in storybrooke is being watched

I also am wondering why Regina all of a sudden has red magic. is it supposed to be something in between good and bad, soemthing between white and purple? and since when does emma control her magic thatgood?

loved seeing so much of Regina

was the castign with young emma (well we knew her already) and young lilly intential to the storyline between emma and Regina? because young lilly DID in fact like kinda like a young Regina

and i was pretty pissed when i saw the previously on and noticed teh cut snow and regina part. so it WAS important if they brought it up there, just not important enough to cut out CS. makes me mad

loved seein liz and lana acting together even if it wasnt a lot, hope for more tho

I wonder as well who took the picture... and she has it framed, it's kinda disturbing :-)

And I am really still so pissed about the Snow Queen deleted scene maybe even more now....it's seems it was cut in the last minte when it was brought up here.... I wish they at least release it on the internet. I want to see that scene now!

And I kinda wish they let Regina to use more different spells and magic, she is supposed to be this big sorceress but I feel like they let her do always basically the same things..

LMBO. I was also wondering what creeper was taking pictures of Robin/Regina in the hall. I mean, really, wouldn't it have made more sense for the writers to just use a picture of Sean/Lana posing in real life instead of an episode still?

I freaking LOVED the episode though. It was like Christmas seeing Regina/Lana on my screen for such a long period of time. It reminded me of the good old days when the character was given the attention she deserves. I think I was smiling the entire hour because of getting my Regina fix. My sister told me I was acting like a nerd but oh well.

I thought Emma/Regina's fighting and kind of sort of peace making was believable and I enjoyed watching it. I do want them, by seasons end, to have fully made amends so that season five can start with them as partners and friends (finally). Emma is much more likeable for me when she's working with Regina and truly trying to be kind to her instead of acting holier than thou. I know some people are upset that Emma was the one apologizing the entire time but I felt she should be the one asking for forgiveness, at least with this particular situation. Intentional or not, Marian's return did hurt Regina so she was to blame.

Elsa grew on me last night, first with her blowing the Snow Queen on her butt (I love Liz but her choking my baby was not okay) and then with her encouraging Emma to keep fighting to mend things with Regina. I'm very curious to see where all this mess with the Snow Queen goes and what exactly she's planning with her big mirror. I think we all called her being Emma's foster mom in the past though. Anyways, great episode overall!

I loved this episode! Lots of Regina! Woohoo!

I loved all Regina & Emma scenes. Their dynamic is always so enjoyable to be watched.

So our prediction (snow queen was a person who run emma's foster home & sydney betrayed regina and side with the snow queen) did become reality.

Maybe Regina's magic was red because red is the color of the fire (regina is the queen of fire) ?

It doesn't make sense that Regina had a photo of a private moment of "Regina & Robin", and Emma had a photo of private moment "Emma & Neal" --> Didn't the writer think that it didn't make sense?

I'm interested to know why the snow queen needs regina's mirror. She said "the person who trapped you in here imbued it with much dark magic". Why does snow queen need a mirror that was imbued with dark magic?

edit:
look at these tweets

#OUAT is that a gumball machine behind the snow queen?

“@ageekandheroven: Who took the picture of Robin and Regina though?! That's weird. #OUAT” She screen captured the flashbacks

I am wondering about this too. The only thing I can come up with is that there is something in Regina's magic that the Snow Queen herself does not posess and she needed it to add to that larger mirror in order for it to be whole again. Maybe this is the same mirror that when shattered causes people to be evil and see others as evil too. That would likely require dark magic. Or maybe it has a different purpose? I'm guessing it will come up again in ep 8 since that is "Smash the Mirror".

I am growing tired of Regina being put in Darth Vader choke holds. They did that with Zelena too. Shouldn't she at least be capable of holding her own against these villians? I don't like it when they keep making her appear weak compared to villians like Zelena and the Snow Queen.

That is exactly what is bothering me too... I thought she was supposed to be one of the best sorcerreses but they have been really degrading her magical skills lately....
her fights with Zelena were ridiculos, I did not mind she lost but that she was THAT much weaker...

I don't particularly love my baby not having the upper hand/being choked either, but with both those instances I took it as her being distracted and taken off guard rather than being weak. When she confronted Zelena she was distracted by her worries and self doubt because she wasn't convinced yet she had light magic in her. She also had Robin and the others being attacked by Rumple and monkeys so there was a lot happening. It made sense than Zelena sensed that fear and struck, but ultimately Regina got control of her emotions and when she did we saw she was more powerful and easily took care of Zelena.

With the Snow Queen, she was distracted by Sydney’s betrayal and Emma’s presence, plus the whole Marian situation. She wasn’t going to attack the Snow Queen right away since she wanted to get her to unfreeze Marian but her moment’s hesitation was a mistake and that’s why she was put in a choke hold. This is just how I interpreted both of those scenes. I don’t think either made Regina seem weak, merely human. I think when she’s focused her magic is always shown as being among the strongest.
