Every Official source (Adam and ABC) has claimed that Smash The Mirror are Two Episodes. The question is whether or not you want to represent those two episodes in one article (and one row in episodes list) or two articles for each part.

The episodes count for each actor appearing in Smash the Mirror should be adjusted to the fact that its two episodes. I'm talking about this article: Once Upon a Time. They were in production for both episodes and got paid double. It would be disrespecful not to credit them with that episode.

Lady Junky, I am not talking about the numbering. This is not what the argument is about. People here are still claiming that Smash the Mirror is one episode when it was confirmed to be two - the argument was about that. I don't care whether its 8A/8B or 8/9 as long as it's clear that we are stating the fact that Smash the Mirror is Two Episodes. That's all. I think that's what is going on though, we have decided to treat it as a two hour episode because we are going with the 8A and 8B and each number we are counting as an episode. It's like in a video game where there is a side quest. You are still in the same chapter, even though the side quest plays like it's own chapter. As far as how that should translate to the actors and how many episodes the've appeared in, I don't know. Because your right, technically it was two episodes worth of work for them, but it still gets messy as we're keeping it as one two hour episode, due to both halves being 408. lol, why did ABC have to give Once an extra hour. It wasn't worth making the fans crazy. It's not ABC's fault. It's Adam's fault for not adjusting the production code accordingly. I don't think you can blame Adam, seeing as they already had the season planned out (and probably numbered). Everything that still needed to happen in 408 still happened in 408, it just took 2 hours instead of 1 to get there. Basically, everybodies scenes got extended, but no new plot was added.
