Surely not a mirror universe episode in a kids show? Spoilers.
That rarest thing (lately) – a Mirror Universe episode where the mirror universe ends up being threatening and more than just a joke. And I think on balance resisting the temptation to show us an ‘evil’ one of the main cast was a good call. I did wonder if they were setting up for evil Rok or Zero, given they were separated, but it wasn’t that way. Overall a fun romp of an episode, if not one that moved things forward much.
But the pedant inside me says – it was set up that the universes they were going through related to different decisions they had made in the past. So how do they get to the Mirror Universe from there?
(Very) quick hits:
-
I kinda wish Chakotay had kept the beard, it looked good.
-
I’d think in Star Trek you’d go to ‘parallel universe’ quicker than ‘psychosis’.
-
Captain Tuvix?!!
-
Great transporter effects.
-
I think the first Mirror Universe of the Voyager crew?
