Look forward to gobs of TOS Constitution action including a probable battle with a Mirror-NX, a Gorn, and plenty of other goodies. I wonder if there'll be some explanation as to why Mirror-Kira from "Crossover" (DS9) said that the first knowledge of the other universe came after the incident depicted in "Mirror, Mirror" (TOS)?
There're only 3 episodes left after this one. The bastards.

I'd expect the Defiant to go down (so to speak) with all hands at the end of the episode. I mean, it gives them a chance to do lots of fun death scenes, plus blow up their pretty model (which is the whole point of building pretty models, I would think, physical or virtual).
And there appears to be a metaphysical law in place in the mirror universe responsible for ensuring the whole mirror concept. So the ship is destined to be destroyed to preserve good/evil technological parity.
I'd be surly too if I came to realize that my life wasn't authentic, but tied to some other universe of jerks who get to make all the "real" decisions.
The solution is obvious, of course. Get those missiles ready to destroy the (other) universe!

I always thought that DS9 would do an episode like that. Of course, the writers there liked to fuck with audience expectations, and they'd already done "big battle" mirror universe story (to go with "dark and creepy" MU story and "run around like pirates" MU story), so instead they went with "Madcap Ferengi antics" MU story. Woo!

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.

There was even a hint of gayness of Worf the Regeant... where he tells Garak after Garak was going to give himself to the regeant (Worf)... Worf says after a pause - "You're Not My Type".

Either that, or the ship eventually becomes the 100 year-old twin of Kirk's Enterprise by TOS time. I can so see Archer rechristening the ship as the new I.S.S. Enterprise, although there'd be a problem with the registry.

Which is why I asked in one of the earlier threads if we ever saw the 1701 registry on the Mirror Enterprise in "Mirror, Mirror". If we never see the registry, it's possible that Mirror Kirk's ship is actually "our" Defiant.
Though, at some point, the uniform insignias would have had to have changed from the Defiant's to the ones they have that are exactly the same as "our" TOS Enterprise crew's.
I'm still willing to believe that Archer renames the Defiant in honour of the ship he always wanted to command. That solves how the Empire manages to have a ship IDENTICAL to our Connie, but doen'st really explain why Bones spilled acid there a year ago.

How come the mirror universe has agonizers only on the male duty uniforms?

Because there are intra-uterine devices for the women, of course. It's also how they can afford to be so loose without getting knocked up left and right.
