"In A Mirror, Darkly" Discussion Thread...

[Mr. Fergy]

I really liked the episodes. Wish we had gotten to see the planned follow-up for Season 5...

Agreed.

The whole Alliance idea was result of Wolfe´s reasoning of Terran brutality by having powerful enemies. I don´t buy it becouse it makes Mirror Spock brainless.

Unless, of course, he intended for the Terran Empire to be conquered by its enemies.....

(For more, see The Sorrows of Empire by David Mack in the volume Star Trek: Mirror Universe: Glass Empires, just published last year.)

My problem with the Alliance is twofold. The first problem is that the Terran Empire was obviously a major power in its day, yet it's implied that it just sort of disappeared with only a small revolution.

Mmmmmmm, no. Again, read The Sorrows of Empire.

That might be good attempt to rationalize but it ´s not any more canonical than any other literature.

I never claimed it was canonical. I don't care if it's canonical or not. It's just a damn good story.

Agreed.

Well, considering that only season 5 idea that I didn´t like was the Borg queen one, I can only mourn how many kick-ass stories we´ve lost because of cancellation.

Yeah, a complete waste of time. or a 2 hour TATV instead.

Oh the pain, the pain of it all......
