Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x05 - "Mirrors"

[Mr. Laser Beam]

We tend to go a bit overboard on taking every single line super literal.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

srsly, I am a literalist. It's just what I do.

Just thinking this was a missed opportunity to have the ISS Enterprise-D in live-action, and maybe one or a few of the TNG Mirror characters.

There can't be an ISS Enterprise-D, since the Empire collapsed long before that ship would have been built.

If any Mirror TNG characters appear, they would be slaves. Like Smiley O'Brien.

 

[The Wormhole]

The Discovery crew are all temporally displaced, yet nothing's happening to them...so it must be BOTH temporal and universal.

Yes, this was covered in a conversation between Kovich and Culber at the start of Terra Firma Part 1.

Kovich: Consider yourself lucky to have skipped the Temporal Wars. Amongst the many horrible things we discovered when weaponizing time: temporal travel can make you pretty sick. Turns out our molecules are designed to function in the time in which they’re created.
Culber: But everyone on Discovery traveled through time.
Kovich: Yes, but only one of you is also from a parallel universe.

There can't be an ISS Enterprise-D, since the Empire collapsed long before that ship would have been built.

Spoiler: Prodigy Season 2

Season 2 of Prodigy has a trip to the Mirror Universe which is consistent with IDW's comics, in which the idea that the Terran Empire fell is only propaganda spread by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance and that the Terran Empire has in fact shrunk in size to the point that it now consists only of the Sol System. Although we don't see an ISS Enterprise D on Prodigy, there is an ISS Voyager, which is itself the same design as USS Voyager A in the Prime Universe.

Didn't stop IDW from making their own ISS Enterprise-D in the comics recently even after DS9 revealed the Terran Empire quickly collapsed after TOS

Can you send me a link via direct message (not sure if it's allowed to be posted on a forum) on where I can find all the Prodigy Season 2 spoilers that presumably our French friends have put somewhere on the internet for us by now?

Voyager had several very good races--the Krenim, Species 4872, Hirogen among them. I felt that was one of the show's strong suits, probably better than any other iteration in that specific regard.

Fluidic space was also considered for a hiding place for the clue. Though the writer admitted that would have been too much of a reference

 

[Fateor]

People who like history would bother.

No they wouldn't.

People who like history would restore the ship to factory standards and then stick it in a fleet museum.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Looks like one man did indeed summon the future. Mirror Spock was a beast when it came to imposing his will after our Kirk returned home.

 

[cooleddie74]

Spock, not Wesley.

 

[UssGlenn]

My question - and I apologize if this has already been discussed - how could the ISS Enterprise's crew survive in this universe? Wasn't MU Georgiou kind of close to a dirt nap herself?

The Discovery crew are all temporally displaced, yet nothing's happening to them...so it must be BOTH temporal and universal

Correct. Your atoms are being pulled towards their origin point. You can handle one or the other, but both will eventually pull you apart.

 

[fireproof78]

No they wouldn't.

I mean...maybe? Why factory specs?

[Tuskin38]

.so it must be BOTH temporal and universal.

Kovich says exactly that.

 

[Tuskin38]

I suppose it could be possible that the High Chancellor was Spock

The writer of the episode confirmed it was meant to be Spock

We'll see.

I was suspecting that. Nice to have it confirmed.

 

[Nerys Myk]

We'll see.

In SFA?

 

[cooleddie74]

I'm cool with it being Mirror Spock. He probably tried to seize power fairly soon after he started using the Tantalus Field. I wouldn't expect him to take a decade or longer to rise through the ranks of the Imperial government with access to that kind of technology.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

INice to have it confirmed.

Not yet...

 

[Fateor]

I mean...maybe? Why factory specs?

Because history buff's always want things to be as close to the original specs as possible.

 

[Mr Awe]

Not yet...

Having the writer confirm that it was the intention is good enough for me!

 

[Tuskin38]

Ready Room last week had a segment on The Breen

Not yet...

The person who write the episode said it’s Spock, so it’s Spock

It lines up with what we know from DS9
