Hi guys! For the past week I have been uploading my reactions to Patreon directly since I have a certain amount of hours per month and I can upload the videos in better quality than in Google Drive because I have limited space there, that's why I started using Patreon. I have been told the Patreon video player lags so if it lags for you let me know and I'll upload and edit the Drive link here! (in lower quality, sorry!)

I'll Be Your Mirror- Thank you once again for another fun reaction for Once Upon a Time, Sora! So, this episode is pretty good. I really enjoy it. However, like in a few episodes so far this season, there's hardly any Killian in it. This is just one of my first observations after watching this episode for the first time and several times since, as well as the rest of the episodes so far this season too. And this episode certainly isn't an episode for True Love either. Although, to be fair... There are other story points that are just as important, such as reminding us all of the kind of hero Henry really is. And i love this episode for this reason! :) First things first... The scenes between Henry and Violet are really sweet, and I really like seeing their friendship and romance continue to grow! Be it a romance or just a close friendship developing. And while we see that they both really do like one another and are currently dating one another, I actually sense that they are more really close friends than anything else. And two... I really enjoy the larger storyline between Henry and the Evil Queen!! I appreciate that Henry recognizes her to be the Evil Queen almost straightaway, once she says the same words to him while disguised as Regina, that she had said to him once before while confronting him as herself. About him standing tall and not slouching. Absolutely brilliant!!! Also... I love, love, love how Henry tells the Evil Queen that she can't Darth Vader him. Any fans of Star Wars know exactly what this phrase means, and I will say that this season has been a great one for all kinds of movie references, especially from Star Wars. These movies after all are Henry's favorite movies, as have been established from the beginning of this show. What a great line! And I love how the Evil Queen then goes on to state that Darth Vader and these movies were never black and white. Which is so true, and I love that she makes this point to Henry! :) I really love seeing the Evil Queen try to lure Henry over to her side just as she has always tried to do, even back when she was still a part of Regina and still evil shown throughout seasons one and two. Even though she's using Regina and Emma, as well as the Dragon against him, by threatening them. And of course... Henry wouldn't crush the Dragon's heart. I also knew that the Dragon wouldn't be dead. It is just brilliant to see Henry outsmart the Evil Queen and use the Hammer of Hephestus... The Greek God known for forging all of the Gods' armor and weapons, including Zeus' lightning bolts... to free his moms by smashing the mirror from the outside, while Emma and Regina draw the Dragon's fire upon the mirror from within. Ultimate teamwork! This is how Regina and Emma are able to escape the Mirror Realm... The world where Sidney remained trapped in so long as he remained trapped in Regina's Magic Mirror. By combining the magic from the Dragon and Hephestus' Hammer together to break the mirror's power long enough for Regina and Emma to escape the realm, but not the Dragon. This storyline overall is fantastic!!! As for Killian within this episode... I am so, so happy that Killian doesn't immediately fall for the Evil Queen's deceptions, and knows straightaway that Regina is the Evil in disguise!!! I love him so much for this!! Although, I do have to say... I am a bit disappointed that he gets knocked unconsciousness so early on in the episode, and remains unconscious throughout almost its entirety until he suddenly appears again in the end down inside Regina's vault. I didn't expect to see him appear behind the Evil Queen to threaten her, and I really appreciate that he does. It is a nice touch. However, I think this episode could have been just a little bit better if when Emma and Regina are released from the mirror out on the beach, so that Emma could have found Killian still unconscious so she could race to his side to heal him. Or if maybe he was transported and trapped inside the Mirror Realm along with Regina and Emma too. That's an idea. :) Next... Even though I do enjoy the scenes between Belle and Zelena within this episode, I can't help but somewhat hate that Belle comes to Zelena once again in this episode to try to get her help. Just because I am still frustrated and annoyed with the whole storyline of Belle putting herself into a sleeping curse after visiting with Zelena not too long ago too. Nonetheless... I do love their dialogue back and forth, especially Zelena's snarkiness. I understand that Belle and Zelena do have commonalities, because they're now both mothers and because they both know how it feels to be let down by those closest to them. I just don't understand why Belle believes she can trust anything Zelena says or does right now. But I do at least appreciate that Zelena is willing to help Belle for now, as a mother. And with this being said... I don't actually believe that Zelena is misleading Belle at all, because while Zelena appears to somewhat be more aligned with the Evil Queen right now than with Regina, I do believe she still really wants to prove herself to be good so she can regain a sisterly relationship with Regina again. And of course... Gold once again embraces his evil. And I absolutely hate that he chooses to blame Zelena for his failures, when he is the only one to blame. I'm not at all surprised, given that he always blames everyone else for his failings, but I am disappointed. Deep down, he knows he's to blame. He's just in such deep denial. I am just so grateful that Zelena is smart enough to make it so that Gold is unable to kill her without him hurting himself too. Which is a fantastic callback to Zelena's return to Once Upon a Time in season four's episode, titled... Heart of Gold, when Zelena taunts him while he remained in the hospital. Absolutely brilliant! I don't exactly understand how this works, because Gold is the Dark One and this makes him immortal. So, if Zelena were to die, I would think that he would still be just fine. Perhaps maybe Gold just can't kill her himself. But even if this is the case, he still can't die. I just don't get it. C'est la vie. And now, the question is... Will the Evil Queen go so far for her own vengeance against our heroes and kill her own sister? I can't stand that they keep showing Gold making out with the Evil Queen. I know they're just using each other to get what they want, but gross!! And then... I really love, love, love the few scenes with Snow and Charming, including the montage we have showing them wake one another and being with their son at different times of day. I even love how they start off acting as though they're okay for a while, until their time alone wears on them and we see them begin to lose hope by the end. It's so sad. Also... I love that Snow quickly realizes that the Evil Queen is watching them through her mirror to look in on their misery with glee, and then smashes her mirror to prevent the Evil Queen from doing so any longer. And lastly... One of my very favorite moments within this episode, if not my very favorite moment within this episode, is the moment towards the end when Aladdin returns to Jasmine after he steals the wand, as well as the Genie's lamp from Gold's shop. Way back in season one, we learn all about Sidney being a genie, and while some fans of this show may actually see him as Genie from the animated Disney movie... Aladdin, because he is revealed to be from Agrabah, I never have seen him to be Genie. I've always just seen him as a different genie. And we learn in this show's spinoff... Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, that there are multiple genies. As there would be. Now... The reason why this ending scene between Aladdin and Jasmine is my favorite scene in this episode, is because Aladdin talks to Jasmine about the Genie from the lamp, as his dear friend, and of him now being free. He tells her that he's gone, but free. Just like how in the ending of Aladdin, Aladdin frees Genie from his servitude to the lamp with his final wish. Sidney was certainly never a friend to anyone, and he was a villain. So, it's clear that Aladdin is not talking to Jasmine about Sidney. With all of this being said... This is a beautiful way for the creators and writers of Once Upon a Time to honor Robin Williams, who as everyone knows, is the voice of Genie in Aladdin. A very touching tribute to the phenomenal comedian we all love and deeply miss ever since his death way back when. In August of 2014. Robin Williams made so many people happy and laugh through his work in his movies over the years, and yet he had a very sad life that we all know so little about, as he struggled deeply with depression. So, I truly love and appreciate this moment. Because while it's truly and deeply heartbreaking that he is gone and that he died so broken, Robin Williams is now truly free. And i have to believe he is happy again wherever he may be. As I hope... In Heaven. And it's only right that it's Aladdin who talks to Jasmine about his friend. So, so beautiful I love this tribute to him!!! :) Thank you once again for another great reaction for this episode, Sora! I am looking forward to more Once Upon a Time!! :) Sincerely, Heidi
