Just off the top of my head, he could have barged into a genetic enhancement lab and demanded that they fix him up. He could have been a member of a rich family that sympathised with the Klingons/Cardassians (and perhaps dobbed in dissenters), and so received special treatment.

Certainly, there's enough possibilities that we can't blindly say "he was never genetically enhanced".

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

That would be like holding a hospital hostage and expecting them to do a bone marrow transplant on your kid.
It'd never work.
The treatments are described as "taking weeks".

Gene re-sequencing might be somehow availavle in that universe, it's just exceedingly unlikely that a "Terran slave" would have had acess to it.


On the other hand, they refered to him as Julian, not Jules so I guess it's possible (somehow).

Well, if people who are nice in the regular universe can be evil in the Mirror Universe, why can't people who are slow in the regular universe be normal in the Mirror Universe?

"That would be like holding a hospital hostage and expecting them to do a bone marrow transplant on your kid."

Wasn't that a Denzel Washington movie, or something?

His parents might have forced the doctors to do it, somehow.

Or his entire family could be rebels, and they got it done on the Vulcan black-market.

Come on, if Jadzia can get her symbiote, then I'm sure Julian can get his gene resequencing.

Was she ever called Dax in the Mirror Universe? If not, there's no suggestion she got the slug in her. Ezri, I don't think was ever called Dax so I don't think she ever had it either.

did the Prophets manipulate the union of Joseph and Sarah Sisko in order to ensure that the Emissary, Ben Sisko would be born?

anywho, the reason the mirror universe is more complicated than an ordinary alternate timeline is because to use the original dramatic intention, there is a scientific property of that universe, its resonant frequency in relation to ours, that has caused it to become 'linked' to ours. dramatically, this means that the two universes will offer the same storylines as juxtapositions of each other. scientifically it is a property of probability.. in all the probabilities of the untold multitudes of alternate creations that have been caused by probability-splitting, this is the one universe that has a relationship of probability with our own..

I think that Jadzia was Dax, but Ezri wasn't

Jadzia was definitely called Dax. I can't remember about Ezri, though.

Of course, this is the same universe where Vic was human. Anything is possible.

Anything?
Even the dax symbiote bursting out and singing "Hello my baby! Hello my honey, hello my ragtime gaaaalll....!"

'Cause I love that scene and I think it'd work in the mirror universe.

Well, I think fandom has the Mirror Universe sprouting off because Khan won the Eugenics Wars... So maybe genetically enhanced humans aren't that rare.

Ezri, I don't think was ever called Dax so I don't think she ever had it either.

I have a vague recollection of her objecting to being called Dax. But mirror Ezri was only in one incredibly bad episode, anyway, so I may be misremembering.

Ezri wasn't a Dax. (ref. "The Emperor's New Cloak" [DS9])

And no, it was never called "the Mirror Universe" in dialogue. Not sure where the Okudas got that. After they popularized that term, it was used in one script for DS9, but not in the dialogue.

I don't reckon that Bashir has had his genetic enhancement... he's just matured naturally albeit probably delayed... something that his parents feared wasn't going to happen. Again it's a nice tie in to the 5th season idea fitting in nicely with Bashir things from earlier seasons.

"Not sure where the Okudas got that."

Probably because the TOS episode that introduced it was called "Mirror, Mirror".
