Multiple mirror episodes this season!

[Tuskin38]

Fact: the producers continue to urge fans to be patient, that 1) apparent canon contradictions will be explained; and 2) we will end up with the "optimistic Trek" of TOS.

For both of these to happen, it would have involve significant change over the remaining 9 episodes. In fact I don't see how you can get there without something like multiple universes, time travel etc. Including the MU involves a significant change and an alternate unuverse, especially if we are talking multiple MU episodes. It's seems reasonable that the MU would play an important role in the story, not just a couple of side episodes.

Or maybe my thinking is completely off.

Or the producers are lying.

Just get rid of the shroom drive, and bam. fixed.

Not that hard.

We're still 10 years away from TOS, they have plenty of time.

It shouldn't be too hard to get rid of the shroom drive, because said drive will not function without Ripper. And Ripper won't live forever.

Maybe when they said 'Mirror episodes' they meant episodes focusing on the holographic mirror, which it turns out is powered by subspace cheese which turns out to be eaten by a subspace mouse. Lorca demands that the subspace mouse be forced to run on a wheel to power the mirror. There will be a six episode arc dealing with the ethical complications of this.

Subspace cheese? Shroom drive?

Sounds like they're building up to one HELL of a pizza.

as long as they leave out the subspace pineapple and subspace anchovies I'm in.

Well, we already know they have the perfect pizza cutter.

I'm on pins and needles waiting to order mine when ThinkGeek puts it up for sale.

I just read your signature and almost bloody screamed in laughter. Well done, you!

They also have to fabricate all the new uniforms. That's going to take at least two years.

, it would have involve significant change over the remaining 9 episodes

I'd imagine they're banking on a season 2. It doesn't have to feed seamlessly into TOS this year.

At this point in the MU, I'd expect we'd see Emperor Robau ruling with an iron fist....

Did we just see mirror universe Stamets? LOL
