[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Oh my goodness, is there a lot of stuff in THIS one! Not the best story plot-wise, but so much fan-friendly eye candy (and I'm not just referring to the special uniforms) that it's more than worth it (at least as far as I'm concerned). -- A live Tholian! How cool is that? -- A tactically useful Tholian Web! My jaw was left drooping with what I expect was a very wide and silly grin for a full thirty seconds after that popped onto the screen. -- So Phlox and Reed invented the Agony Booth? Kinda appropriate, seeing how "our" Phlox and Reed have been making progress of their own... -- That new opening theme was pretty damn cool, too. My favorite moment was the reuse of the footage of that ship flying over Copernicus City on the Moon... and launching torpedoes at the surface! (Very clever, if you ask me.) -- I loved the touch of that extra "war paint" on the ISS Enterprise's hull. Looks like the CGI artists have been taking some hints from [URL=http://www.starfleet-museum.org/archer-curran-side.jpg]Masao's work[/URL], if you ask me. :D -- So the mirror-Tholians were the ones to first create a connection between "our" universe and the "mirror" universe, eh? Awesome... it's kinda appropriate how it ties in with "The Tholian Web", and a very cool thought to explain that episode, in a way. -- I loved the touch of making the mirror-NX-01's warp reactor a lot more dangerous to work next to, kinda like working next to a nuclear reactor. And Tucker's makeup is obviously a subtle homage to "The Menagerie"... very nice thinking there! -- So the Vulcans in the Mirror Universe were sending an "invasion" to Earth back in 2063? Based on later episodes, I somehow doubt that it's JUST the Humans in the MU that are different, so it certainly seems possible. And my fears based on the spoilers, that First Contact was the initial divergence between the universes, proved groundless. Obviously, since it was Cochrane himself who killed Solkar -- Spock's great-grandfather! -- then the event of First Contact couldn't possibly have been the point of divergence. Overall, I've gotta say this episode was incredibly cool. Lotsa fun, even if it wasn't the greatest storywise! [/QB][/QUOTE]
