I just watched the video. There's definitely something odd about the reflection. I zoomed in on my phone and her movements don't coincide with the mirror, IMO. 

THAT's the problem, you're watching it on a "A FUCKING PHONE!"

I'm not really seeing a difference.  I think it's a little disorienting because of the camera angle to the mirror and the fact that it's reflecting only part of the back of her head.  So far I think this shot was only about the static sound, the looping television (she could have been watching that nature program from earlier in the season over and over too) and how Sarah either doesn't seem to notice or care.

Does anyone else notice the difference between the table of framed pictures, and its reflection in the central mirror? There appears to be four objects on the table; two rectangular framed images in portrait, one in landscape and a fourth oval object/framed image. In the reflection, I can't make out the oval image - it appears to be missing (or rather, does not appear!). Furthermore, zooming in on the images on the table in JeffreyGWillett's .bmp makes it look like the lefthand portrait frame (that picture of Laura?) is in front of the oval, but I can work out how it is resting on the table, as the oval seems to be both above and below it.

(I'm not watching on particularly good hardware, so this may be my picture quality rather than something observed in the scene.)

The irony here is, of course, that we keep watching this scene over and over just like Sarah is watching the same footage repeated over and over on her TV...

Ha! Indeed. Well, I've put my time in on watching this over and over on a loop, and in the dimension where I live, there's nothing out of sync or peculiar about her reflection. Mirrors can be confusing though - I've had my own bouts of being like Alice disoriented in a Looking Glass world.

If you want some real fun with mirrors, get two, identically sized mirrors, without frames, placed at 90 degrees to each other, the look at the place where they intersect.  Now move closer in.

Good, huh?

It feels off! the same feeling on Nadine and Dr Amp reflections!

Yep, I agree with you and also think the Dr. Amp and Nadine reflections are off.

The Sarah reflections ain't off.  Really.  I haven't looked at the Jacoby and Nadine ones, though.

Audrey's reflection sits like a statue while she is agitated and moving every time we see her directly. 

Ed's reflection is clearly out of synch. 

Some people perceive differences with Sarah and Jacoby. 

What I take from this is that the out of synch reflections affect several people - it's probably not just an Ed phenomenon.

I watched this again and the reflections all look normal to me. Same with Big Ed at the end. I didn't see any unusual reflections at all.

Audrey's reflection is still but she isn't exactly hopping about most of the time when she's in shot.  Some of the time she moves, others, not.  So, nothing conclusive there.

I can't see anything wrong with Jacoby and Nadine's scene.

Ed is definitely out.  A blind man on a galloping horse would see that one.

The glitch that Ed noticed in gas station is the confirmation that all the reflections where quite off in this episode. The only way to be sure of this is to watch the scenes again, and again, falling into a loop. Different or not, they will not change. I`d like to think that they are both. Different, and the same.

And in all of these did anyone notice the dialogue that is looping.....
"Oh, the right hand catches the big guy by the ear! And he finally goes down, hangs onto the ropes. Oh, the gentleman asks him if he's okay. Looks like, uh, round number one or two under way. Now it's a boxing match again."

This is not how announcer's talk about boxing.
Having no clue what round it is.
The gentleman instead of ref.
Calling the boxer the big guy instead of his name

It did occur to me that the commentary was pretty odd.  I thought maybe it could be out of sequence, like his sentences were mixed out of order

Concur with complete confidence. I played Sarah's scene on a loop the other day, and there's just nothing off. I think the studio lights coming down at all angles caused some confusion perhaps. Jacoby and Nadine scene - same, it's all normal. Audrey - normal. But the Ed reflection remains glitched either by design or by necessity. - I think there's some group hypnosis happening here about reflections!
