"Mirror, Mirror" Line-by-Line!

[Vanyel]

Bones: I’m sure.

 

[LeadHead]

A Marlena Moreau for this Universe steps out of the turbolift, raising eyes from all who spent time through the looking glass.

Marlena walks to Kirk with a Padd.

Marlena: Captain Kirk.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Lt.? Lt.?

 

[LeadHead]

Marlena: Marlena Moreau. I was just assigned last week.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Alright Lt. Carry on.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: You've met her before, Captain?

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Uh, Why do you ask?

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: Your reaction, one of recognition.

 

[Vanyel]

Kirk: Oh no. No. No. We haven’t met before. Exactly. She just seemed a nice likable girl. I think we could become friends. It’s possible.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk walks over to Marlena and speaks with her.

 

[LeadHead]

Just in the nick of time! Gotta run!

 

[Vanyel]

The End.

 

[Vanyel]

Later LeadHead. It's always a pleasure.

 

[LeadHead]

Same to you Vanyel!

No matter what anyone thinks of TOS, or of the merits of "Mirror, Mirror" it has some of the most memorable lines in SciFi TV.


Best lines in this ep:

Tharn: Twelve years, Captain Kirk... or twelve-thousand. We are ethically compelled to deny your demands!



...and you've gotta love Sulu...

Sulu: Any time's a good time!

(too bad Takei was never paired with Loretta Swit)




Kirk: The illogic of waste, Mister Spock. The waste of lives, potential, resources, time. I submit to you that your Empire is illogical because it cannot endure! I submit that you are illogical to be a part of it!

...and just a little later...

Kirk: If change is inevitable, predictable, beneficial, doesn't logic demand that you be part of it?




...and some of the very best in TOS:

Spock: One man cannot summon the future.

Kirk: But one man can change the present. Be Captain of the Enterprise, Mister Spock. Find a logical reason for sparing the Halkans and make it stick. Push till it gives. You can defend yourself better than any man in the fleet.



...and the cherry on top...

Kirk: In every revolution... there's one man with a vision!

That took 4,394 minutes.

Damn, we were only about half-way through the episode just fourteen hours ago. You guys must have hit it HARD today.

Damn, we were only about half-way through the episode just fourteen hours ago. You guys must have hit it HARD today.

That was mere 840 minutes, or about 19% of the total thread time.

I'm not really doing a good job of defending myself, so here's Conway Twitty:

Okay, where's CoveTom? And speaking of him I want to hear the story behind the name.
