I don't really buy everyone in the Mirror Universe being shocked that the Terran Empire glassed a planet seeing as Mirror Mirror treated that as a normal thing they do.
^ I don't think it was that the I.S.S. Enterprise attacked the Halkans that would be shocking to them. It's the notion that mirror-Kirk could have used the ship's phasers to simply level the Halkan cities (apparently "standard procedure") but instead chose to nuke the planet with the photon torpedoes instead. That's a pretty spectacular difference.
If Kirk had simply used phasers to level the cities, the Halkans may have survived, but would have been helpless to stop the Empire's forced mining of the dilithium.

Not seeing much of a big difference an orbital bombardment is an orbital bombardment, atomizing them with torpedoes doesn't leave them less atomized than with phasers, especially since photon torpedoes aren't nukes they're anti-matter bombs and as such (from a quick google search on the hypothetical) probably shouldn't irradiate anything.
Plus its not like anti-matter explosions have ever had a radiation concern any other time they come up.
Their shock was designed to humanize those not on Mirror Kirk's side, and justify key officers hanging around to run the ship with Mirror Spock, who would not be able to get away with his scheme alone. But yeah, what active crew member of the Mirror 1701 would be shocked by mass murder?
If I understand correctly a matter/antimatter explosion releases gamma radiation.
It doesn't seem tactically sound to convert your enemies into super-powered green hulks.
A 25-year reunion of Assignment Earth would have made for a great TNG episode with Lansing and Garr.
I do believe that NV is doing a McCoy & Natira episode.

No, but it does sound rather awesome.
I doubt there was ever much chance of that happening. Teri Garr didn't have kind words about Star Trek when she was interviewed by Starlog back in the day.
Maybe, but in the 1980s TV paid a lot better than SAG scale. I'm sure they could have coaxed her into it if the script was good, the money was right, and GR wasn't there to shorten her skirt.
By the 1980's, she'd worked with Spielberg in one of the biggest movies ever made. To make up for the shit that happened in TOS, they'd probably need to offer her a bit more than the raise and the quality script that should have been a given.
Going by what she has said, I don't blame her for leaving the whole thing well behind.

Probably right, but by the '90s, Gene was gone, so there may have been a way to get her to do A TNG without bankrupting the studio. Robert Lansing died in '94, so there would have been only a small window to get them both.
I can't imagine how aggravating the experience of working on only one episode must have been, for Teri Garr to have such animosity toward Trek for so long.
She even acted in the mediocre "The Sting II," but she wouldn't do Trek again.

I have heard of this generically before, but I've never known what experience she has actually cited as being so toxic. I'm guessing from the comment above about Roddenberry's passing, that it likely was some sort of supercharged come on, or worse, of his?

She's never identified who it was, but she and others have alluded to it being some other executive from the studio. If so, she may have blamed GR for not defending her from the advance.
they could of done a two parter on mirror mirror.
Charlie x could of came back a few times.
Could 'HAVE', could 'HAVE'.
