Reflections on the Mirror Universe

[Tricky]

Great! now I have to hurry up and finish the new book to find out!

The 2-part Mirror Univ. story from ENT is on tonite on Sci-Fi Channel. I hope to finally watch these episodes which I missed when it first aired.

The ENT MU episodes are probably the best of the entire series! imho

They have a lil something for everyone. Tholians, Gorn, big ship to ship battles, sex kitten women in tiny outfits, bad boys being realllly bad, soap opera drama and even some attempts to put the whole thing into continuity (you do find out where the Defiant went to, and this might be how the Terran empire became so powerful, as well as a peek at how the first cracks in the Empire started)!

I still say that if they set a show in the MU, they might be able to run with it for a while.

Finally saw "In the Mirror, Darkly", the 2 part ENT MU episode. IMHO it's the best ENT ep or at least one of the best. I love the Mirror Universe theme credits & music.

The MU is just crazy but I love it. Characters are just so much cooler when nearly everyone is bad, sexy & murderously deceitful. I can see the actors enjoyed playing evil characters.

I still don't understand how the Terran Empire could have lasted so long when everyone is plotting against everyone else & becoming emperor by assassination is acceptable, assuming you succeed.

I would have preferred we didn't actually see a Tholian. I liked it better when we were kept guessing what they really looked like.

I wonder how the capture of the 23rd century Defiant affected the Empire? Obviously, they got a very powerful ship w/ which to crush the rebellion & expand the Empire. I also assume they used the technology to advance their own society, but that would mean the MU advanced faster than the Federation.

You could never have an MU series b/c the main characters would be getting killed & killing each other all the time.

Except good acting. Everyone's just like, "GRRR!"

OUch! (i stand corrected )

A friend said that a MU show would be a lot like Firefly, but with Vulcans, Klingons and transporters. So, if done like that, a MU show or game could be fun.
