    I thought mentioning the concept of a MU babysitter was pretty obvious as a joke. ;)

    Look further back in this very thread. Someone posted a comparison.

    My sense of humor isn't what it should be.

    Sonequa Martin-Green Was great in this, I didn’t realise she was such a good actress.

    The "interior" of the TARDIS could exist in the space of the door frame.

    Yes, but not the Mirror Universe.

    I think you are both right. I didn't think of this while watching the episode, but in retrospect that is what they are going for here.

    Pre Cyborg Airiam/Airiam 2.0 was played by Hannah Cheeseman who also played "Mirror Airiam" so it's a good chance it's her.

    So the entire Mirror Universe exists inside a TARDIS? That gives a lot more meaning to "Bigger on the inside". :lol:

    I never noticed a Mirror Airiam. In which episode did she appear?

    "Mirror Airiam'" appeared in the one we saw on Thursday.

    The most recent one - she was in the crowd during the Charon christening.

    Screencap from TrekCore, along with a ton of analysis on the visuals, including the snow walk, which was almost perfectly duplicated from the original sand walk in the pilot and Carl's newspaper articles: airiam.jpg

    This could still be some kind of delusion besides it contradicts a lot of this that had been established. Like the fact that without mirror Lorca there would have been no Spore Jump... How do you reconcile that with a Lorca living a completely different life?

    Sounds liek circular reasoning. How do you know it's mirror Airiam?

    See my post above. TrekCore did a good comparison. It's definitely her.

    Update: Well, it's definitely the same actress, at least. We can probably safely assume that this is a MU Easter Egg, implying that it's the same character.

    And, while admittedly not 100% official, the IMDB record for that episode lists the actress as playing "Lt. Cmdr. Ariam".
