Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x05 - "Mirrors"

[fireproof78]

No, it wasn’t.

Definitely looks different to me...

 

[Fateor]

Out of all of those you listed, the blinking hologram is pretty tame. All the rest were massively stupid, particularly the one I bolded.

For me, that was THE stupidest one.

Given the fact it was a 32nd century hologram working on technological principles that should have been completely unknown to someone from the 23rd century, I'd say it's about the same level of stupid.

This assumes that this was a 32nd century hologram base programming, rather than Kovick using something older to test Georgiou.

There were holograms in the 22nd century

 

[Farscape One]

No, it wasn’t.

Actually, the lighting for "MIRROR, MIRROR" and both parts of "IN A MIRROR, DARKLY" on Terran ships was much darker than their Prime counterparts.

 

[Fateor]

There were holograms in the 22nd century

Which had nothing in common with the holomatter based technology that was introduced in the 24th century outside of the name.

 

[Shawnster]

i also wish they'd cut it out with this "Terran" crap. They're humans in BOTH universes.]

Terran is also the name of the political entity. Like Federation or Confederation. So, identifying something as Terran is equivalent to identifying something as Federation.

 

[Lakenheath 72]

Terran has become shorthand for mirror universe Humans in modern Trek. In older Trek, the writers didn't need to resort these techniques as much as they had an expectation that their audience was intelligent enough and perceptive enough to know the difference between mu humans and pu humans.

 

[Mr Awe]

I never found terrible to be worse than abysmal. So qualifiers are very helpful.

Important question here. How do appalling and dreadful fit in here? I need to know!

 

[Mr Awe]

The Terran Empire warp-capable escape shuttle in greater detail.

I'm glad you got a photograph of the suspects. Now, quick, give it to the authorities so they can track them down!

 

[jackoverfull]

Until it's not.

I mean, did "Mirror, Mirror" strike you as taking place in a universe where humans are over-sensitive to light? It was exactly the same.

Yes, this is why that detail made no sense…I have no idea why they introduced it with the eye spray, unless it originally was due to lorca’s battle injuries and he wasn’t supposed to be from the mirror universe.

The lighting was darker, both in Mirror, Mirror, and Into a Mirror Darkly.

was it? I never noticed that at all. Also, mirror Kirk and co didn’t seem to have any eye issue on our enterprise.

According to.....?

 

[The Wormhole]

Mirror Kirk does stick his face right next to the lights that power the brig's force field. Which I guess we can rationalize as Mirror Kirk is quite the masochist.

 

[Fateor]

According to.....?

According to the episodes showing how differently they work.

 

[Nerys Myk]

According to the episodes showing how differently they work.

Anything specific?

 

[Fateor]

Anything specific?

The fact that holomatter holograms have tactile interaction and stick around for a few seconds even after the emitter has been disabled/destroyed.

The fact that holomatter holograms have tactile interaction and stick around for a few seconds even after the emitter has been disabled/destroyed.

Seems like supposition

Terrible.
Appalling.
Dreadful.
Abysmal.

Yeah, their reaction doesn't make much sense, But, it appears darker to me, looking at it.

Untrue. The Mirror Universe Humans were referred to as "Terrans" in DS9.

I'm going with:
Old Trek = 1966-2005
New Trek = 2009-Present

 

[The Wormhole]

Terrible.
Appalling.
Dreadful.
Abysmal.
