Favorite Mirror Universe Episode?

[Ketrick]

My favorite MU episodes are In A Mirror Darkly, Parts 1 and 2. A close second are Through The Looking Glass and Shattered Mirror for their emotional depth. Don't get me wrong, Mirror, Mirror is a great episode, but it lacks the depth of TTLG and SM.

I didn't care too much for DS9's bastardization of the mirror universe with throwing the DS9 elements into the forefront of being on control of it.

You mentioned Yesterday's Enterprise in the OP, do alternate timelines count as mirror universes?

I'm not a huge fan of DS9's mirror universe episodes, I would have to say the original TOS ones. I mean, he puts Chekov in the 'Excruciation chamber'. Thanks to that episode, I forever get to say the words 'Excruciation chamber'!

I actually liked "In a Mirror, Darkly" better than the original "Mirror, Mirror".

Agreed

"In A Mirror, Darkly" from the mirror/alternative intro, to the ending with the hot evil Hoshi taking command is quality.

"Mirror, Mirror" for me, after all these years, just seems a bit tame, a bit tired.

I was going to make this a poll but goofed up somewhere, as I didn't get its input screen even though poll was checked (maybe because I didn't preview first).

And the more I watch Mirror, Mirror the more I toy with the idea that the Halkans were somehow controlling the whole thing as a test.

Its always puzzled me why the Halkans arent evil in the mirror universe, maybe your speculation is in fact the reason.
They were controlling it from the beginning

Actually, humanity is pretty much the only species that is actually different in the mirror universe. Other species, such as the Klingons, Cardassians, etc. are the same.

Mirror, Mirror and In a Mirror Darkly. Both are excellent representations of the Mirror Universe.

DS9 is too much of a niche style setting o do an effective Mirror Universe story. Crossover was ok because it showed consequences of Mirror, Mirror. However after that it just got stupid and silly. Try to contort the Mirror U's premise to fit the tiny niche of DS9 didn't amount to anything.
