Is there a Kelvin mirror universe?

[Voth commando1]

To be a bit more mystical I'd say in the deep elemental forces in the multiverse-the more manicheanean prevailed in the mirror or their stronger at least.

Or heck the mirror universe needs to be balanced

Prime Universe Spock: Your were supposed to bring balance to the force not leave in darkness
Mirror Universe Spock: I hate you! Weaklings!

 

[cultcross]

If the crew configure their transporters or take a path through the bajorian wormhole accordingly then travel into the mirror parallel universe from the Kelvin universe, will this mirror universe be a different one from the one they traveled to from the prime universe? Or does the one mirror universe act as a common place available to both the Kelvin and prime universe?

We have already seen the Kelvinverse MU - ENT is still canon, so the events of In A Mirror Darkly are still canon, which raises interesting questions about the presence of the prime timeline Defiant - if that still happened then it suggests you are quite correct in thinking the MU remains a shared property of both timelines. But possibly the Defiant was replaced by a new design Connie, or indeed never got caught in the Tholian Web at all in the Kelvin timeline, making IAMD a rather less eventful episode.


The scientific answer if there can be such a thing, when taking about evil counterpart universes, is that there would be an infinity of possible mirror universes and we may never have seen the same one twice (even episode to episode, there's a handy way to explain away continuity errors...). The original prime timeline is a 'mirror universe' to the Kelvin timeline as well.

Since IAMD predates the divergence in timelines, the TOS Defiant is still a possible future.

Hmm, I did read the IDW comics take on it (well, the post Into Darkness one) which I thought was handled well. You can say its a tad over the top with the whole murder your superiors to get ahead sort of deal (Mirror Chekov is ruthless, nuff said) but this is the charm of the MU I say.

...My avatar has nothing to do with this.

I thought the Mirror Universe in the comics was pretty well done, including Singh, who was a pacifist Augment rather than a dictator. I found it quite interesting and enjoyable.

Yeah I liked the peace loving Klingon hippies lol

There is a Mirror universe where the Vulcans have an empire and took over Earth. (I still find the idea of primitive Terrans taking over Vulcan and running things i.e canon Mirror universe entertaining but laughable)

 

[Balok's Decoy]

I think we might see it in ST4.

Is this a myriad novel or something.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

A universe with poor production values but good writing?

Only in my head

In your head, and in one of the Last Unicorn Star Trek Role-Playing Game sourcebooks, All Our Yesterdays.

In that one, there's a kind of Vulcan-Romulan Co-empire thing going on (like the Eastern and Western Roman Empires,) and Vulcan controls the space that includes Earth.

Vulcan-Romulan co-empire that's interesting. I wonder how oppressive or not Vulcans would be to a subjugated human population.

The NuTrek? How would you do a mirror universe episode within the framework of those movies?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ However the writers would want to.

I guess it would be the easiest way to have George Kirk again, although it's unlikely since everything I have heard about ST4 is that it actually gives Jim the chance to get to know his father, which would be hard to do if it's the mirror version (who would surely be nothing like his regular universe counterpart).

I've absolutely no idea, but since we're talking about ST4, now I want to see Mirror Universe versions of the Kelvin Timeline whales. Maybe George has an evil goatee!

 

[DonIago]

MU Gillian kills the whales rather than letting the crew abscond with them.

 

[Ithekro]

Spock comes up with the whale equivalent of "go die in a fire filthy xeno scum", which the probe takes literally and destroys itself in Earth's sun.
