Remember that time when the Evil Queen stole Regina's identity, and Hook was the only one who noticed, but then he pretty much disappeared for the entire episode?

On Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 8, “I'll Be Your Mirror,” the Evil Queen did her very best to trap Emma and Regina in the world behind the mirror, but she couldn't do it without Henry's help.

Were we able to come up with a favorite moment? Will the Evil Queen kill Zelena? Is this new sleeping curse working for us?

TV Fanatics Allison Nichols, Steve Ford, and Robin Harry, joined by Once Upon a Fan's Mauri Lazaro, discuss these questions and more!

What was your favorite moment from "I'll Be Your Mirror?"

Allison: I honestly don't have a favorite moment....if I had to pick, it would be the scene between Aladdin, Jasmine, Belle, and Zelena.

Steve: Definitely the conversation between Henry and the Evil Queen.

In the first season of Once Upon a Time, Henry played a pivotal role in saving his family and the characters trapped in Storybrooke. Since then, Henry has not had the opportunity to play the hero. He has been kidnapped by villains and he has helped bring his family together. In "I'll Be Your Mirror," Henry has become a true hero for the first time.

Henry is the hero Once Upon a Time needs.

While things were pretty predictable on Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 8, the Charming's grandson stole the show by not only saving the day, but by showing us that he's growing up just fine.

Rumple is making golden Gps devices, Snow is losing her touch, they're fighting a dragon, and Zelena emerged as a secret weapon.

There's lots to talk about, so let's get to it.

Remember when I said I wanted things back to normal? Well, maybe this is our normal.

Snow Permalink: Remember when I said I wanted things back to normal? Well, maybe this is our normal. Added: November 13, 2016

The montage of Snow and David living life apart just made me sad. This curse is ridiculous.

It also highlights how distracted they are.

The Evil Queen was literally standing in their kitchen, and Snow had no idea. She...

How will Snow and Prince Charming make do with being apart? Or, rather, under the Evil Queen's spell while the other is awake? They've been apart before on Once Upon a Time, so surely they will be able to weather this spell.

In this episode, "I'll Be Your Mirror," Snow and Charming are doing the best they can to cope. Emma and Regina's plan to trap the Evil Queen backfires, as the Queen looks for a way to start a new beginning with Henry. And Belle seeks out Zelena's help to try and get out of Storybrooke.

Looks like Rumple is back to spinning straw into gold!

On Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 8, everyone's favorite bad guy, Rumplestiltskin is behind the wheel, and he also has something big that Zelena and Belle want. 

Elsewhere in the hour, it looks like Henry and Violet are headed to their first dance together, so obviously the night will go smoothly, right? 

Not if the Evil Queen has anything to say about it!

The official episode description for "I'll Be Your Mirror" from ABC reads as follows:

"Emma and Regina formulate a plan to trap the Evil Queen in a prison of their own making, while Snow and David adjust to life without each other.

As Henry nervously prepares to take Violet to the school dance, the Evil Queen impersonates Regina to give him some advice that could lead him down a dark path.

Meanwhile, Zelena agrees to help Belle,...

Can we all just agree that Hook needs to read bedtime stories as a side job?

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 7 may have focused on the Evil Queen creating a new curse for Snow White and Prince Charming, but it was one storytime scene between Captain Swan that stole the show.

Elsewhere in the hour, Belle was brutally honest with Rumple about her feelings for him, and Zelena flipped sides – again.

What were our favorite moments? Did we love a return to the 'Snowing' story? Why can't the Evil Queen just let it go? TV Fanatics Steve Ford, Allison Nichols, and Caralynn Lippo, joined by Once Upon a Fan's Joanne Denney, are breaking down “Heartless.”

What was your favorite scene of quote from "Heartless"?

Steve: Story time with Captain Hook of course! It was very cute with Killian using the book to lift Emma's spirit, and made me remember...

Next week's episode of ABC's Once Upon A Time will see Emma & Regina embark on a very deadly mission to save Storybrooke, but it looks like they're going to run into some dragon-sized problems. Meanwhile, Snow White deals with her new predicament while Charming stays in limbo. Check out the new promo for the upcoming installment, titled "I'll Be Your Mirror," below:   Curses, it's what the Evil Queen does best. And next Sunday, she will create her most destructive spell yet.   Welcome to Storybrooke, a small town in Maine that you won't find on any map. This town is full of magic, populated by fairytale characters once cursed by the Evil Queen Regina to live in our world - deprived of their memories and happy endings. Until Emma Swan came to town and changed everything. With the help of her son, Henry, Emma embraced her true identity as the daughter...

Warhol's most famous movies – including Sleep, a five-hour film of his lover dozing – perfectly capture the avant garde New York of the Velvet Underground and the Chelsea hotel

This weekend the Ica will be showing new prints of some of Andy Warhol's most famous films – Sleep, Vinyl and Chelsea Girls. These consciously crude and raw films of the 1960s New York avant garde have been restored by MoMA and the Whitney Museum of American Art and the only surprise is that they're getting such a short outing at a single London cinema. A national release of some kind is called for, surely?

I say that, but I have never actually seen Chelsea Girls. And yet I feel as if I have watched it many times. I got to know and love it indirectly when I was 15, through a vinyl album by Nico that I bought at a record shop in Wrexham.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Grizzly Bear have been confirmed to headline the I'll Be Your Mirror festival. The two-day festival takes place at Alexandra Palace in London on the weekend of May 4-5.

His films captured John Lennon in bed, the Velvet Underground deafening a roomful of psychiatrists, and New York during the high point of the last real avant garde. Adrian Searle tunes into a remarkable retrospective

The films of Jonas Mekas are fragments of a life passing. His show at London's Serpentine Gallery is filled with these moments from his long and interesting life; people he has met, events he witnessed and took part in, places he has been. And everywhere we keep coming across his voice, recalling the past, composing a love letter to his adopted New York, commenting, reading a poem, singing.

And always there are images. Images projected and playing on banks of monitors. Cacophanies, excerpts, new things and old footage, portraits, stills and blow-ups. You plunge in to this partial and personal selection of work, never quite knowing how long you'll be detained. The filmmaker's voice, engaged,...

Harvey's two new songs, Horses and Bobby Don't Steal, will appear alongside work by composers Simon Fisher Turner and Espen J Jorgensen. "Her music gives the film storm clouds, power,...

25 years after his death, a new online film reduces Warhol to trashy cypher – but his art was subtle and profound

Andy Warhol died a quarter of a century ago today, on 22 February, 1987. He is in no danger of being forgotten. But what, exactly, is he being remembered for?

To mark today's anniversary, a new 40-minute film called Andy X, directed by Jim Sharman, who made the Rocky Horror Picture Show, is being released online. You can pay to watch, or alternatively Facebook users can use friends as currency, which is clearly a very Warholian idea. At least, it's the kind of idea we instantly label "Warholian", without thinking about what it really has to do with Warhol or his art. This is part of the problem when remembering Andy Warhol.

More problems arise when you actually look at Sharman's film. It's a musical. Ok. It is not the first quasi-operatic...

Beck Hanson has always been aninnovator. The indie musician officially hit the scene in 1993 with his firststudio album Golden Feelings. He’s managed to sustain a career over the last 18years with a loyal following of hipsters. But like everyone else in the recordindustry, he’s also had to adapt to the changing times.

Like The Flaming Lips, Weezer and afew other tech-friendly artists, Beck has learned to embrace the internet asone of the weapons in his arsenal. On his site beck.com, he does the typicalupdates on breaking news, music videos and buyable merch for sale. But he alsohosts artists’ exhibitions on the Colorspace page and posts interviews that thesinger-songwriter has conducted with musicians like CaetanoVeloso and actors suchas Will Ferrell.

But the real destination at Beck.comis the Record Club. As the site explains the special channel, “is an informalmeeting of various musicians to record an album in a day.
