Honestly I wonder if we even see a real difference between the universes.
Multiple mirror episodes this season!
- Thread starter eschaton
- Start date
I agree. Hopefully, since this is the first season the writers aren't yet bored writing for these characters and will have something to say in the episode.
Interestingly Voyager got better when Seven of Nine was added, because in addition to Jeri Ryan being a great actor, the writers were like "Ooh, a new character! I don't have to not-write for Chakotay anymore!"
No disrespect to anyone who wants to do a mirror universe episode, but screw that. Make me interested in THIS universe, in these characters, before showing me a MIRROR universe. What the hell is an alternate <plug in character name> without knowing who and what they are in this universe? Throwing a mirror episode in before establishing the characters better than they are now, say next season or further, seems to me to be just fan wank.

In the Mirror Universe, Landry conducts classes in basket weaving and mindfulness meditation.
A shark skull would have been the badassedest.
In the Mirror Universe, Landry has a pet Tardigrade, the go to the dog park together.
No, Mirror Discovery is just as evil as any other mirror-ship, they're just chaffed under the leadership of peacenik Captain Lorca.
In the Mirror Universe, Tom Hanks plays Kirk and commands the enterprise. There will be an episode where the new Kirk is reduced in age, forced to find a way back to his adult self, and an episode where Kirk is stranded on a deserted planet with a soccer ball.
They did it for Picard in all the movies after Generations...
Are you referring to Dark Mirror? In that continuity, Spock wasn't killed, he just decided not to reform the Empire.
In the current novelverse, Spock did institute democratic reforms, and that led to the fall of the Empire and its conquering and enslavement by the Klingon/Cardassian Alliance.
The snag is, Spock did that on purpose. He knew exactly what would happen. He planned the fall of the Empire so humans would know what it's like to be enslaved, and thus the Empire would never rise again.
Oh I'm thinking of the Shatner Mirror Universe I think.
^ No, Spock survived there too. The only MU continuity (that I'm aware of) where he dies, is Dark Passions.

Why, despite a point of departure starting way back in the 20th century, are there "evil" versions of characters from the 24th century running around? The average man has 100 million sperm per ejaculate, so even the slightest alteration to history (like a woman sleeping on her right versus left side) would lead to another individual being born.
The Mirror universe has absolutely no logic to it, but it was never supposed to - any more than the "Roman planet," "Nazi planet," or "Gangster planet." It's just that DS9 took a one-off goofy (but well-executed) episode and drove it into the ground.
My headcannon is it's really some sort of weird simulation being run by advanced energy beings, but YMMV.
Yeah, but the name just doesn't seem to fit something commissioned by an evil empire.
In an infinite multiverse, the chance that the mirror universe turns out the way it does, is no more or less likely than any other.
Because you have to discover new worlds before conquering them.

Discover new ways to kill your enemies?
Mirror Lorca probably is using the shroom drive as a weapon.
Haha damn it.
