[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb] -- 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. [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, First Contact does seem to be the point of divergence. There's no trace of an invasion force in the opening scenes of this episode. But, if we're going to assume that the history of the Terran Empire is at least partially accurate in its claim of an invasion force, then we'd have to believe that Vulcans came in force after their first contact team got shotgunned. Otherwise, it was mere propaganda. ========== The only counterargument to this idea is the shot of the Terran Empire's flag being placed on the moon. Coming as it does before the shot of the Phoenix, it may suggest that an evil planetary government was already in place by 2063. On the other hand: 1. The moon guy was in a 2150's EV suit. 2. The First Contact scenes suggest that WW3 had indeed occurred, which we might not expect if a planetary government capable of moonshots was in place. (Of course, the United Terra government might not've been completely planetary, leading to a WW3 in which the UT won and the others lost.) In any event, the Vulcan landing would've thus been (a) a bad idea on the Vulcan's part, and (b) the cause of the Terran Empire. [/QB][/QUOTE]
