I know there are plenty of superstitions about mirrors being cages.

Not sure if all roads lead to Wonderland, or if the writers just happen to LOVE the place so much and want to hopefully use it again. :)

I think there are other lands that the writers want to explore as they made hints to it when Regina and Jefferson went into the hat. (all the doors that I so eagerly want to open!)

I only know of three:
* "mirror mirror on the wall..."
* Alice in Wonderland
* a Mayan deity named Smoking Mirror

either option would be good. (or, in a twist, whomever protected that corner of Regina's world, also now rules Wonderland - post-Queen of Hearts or not)

i imagine the doors will be used...in fic even if the series doesn;t use them as much as we'd like.

Photography and mirrors have superstitions surrounding them of trapping your soul or being able to fall into them and become trapped.

I'm talking about long ago. It's not so much anymore (we're enlightened). When mirrors first came out 1000s of years ago people were superstitious of it and especially when photos came out people believed your soul could be trapped when the picture was taken.

This is totally off topic lol and I think i'm mostly talking smoke! ;)Haven't actually researched it.

As for the hall of doors... i'd like to make an official field trip there. And open all the doors sneak a peek in and say "oh okay. That's cool"

ah, okay.

not OT...after all, smoke and mirrors are recurring elements of the series.

I'd pay to be on that field trip.

I remember one of the Babylon 5 movies had a line... "But in our haste to leave {the universe}, we forgot that a door may swing both ways."
