The time loop variety are my favourite. The one from TNG where the enterprise keeps getting blown up is great. I also love the Discovery episode. It was like fighting an evil groundhogs day guy.
Honestly, I would put those above mirror universe episodes any day of the week.
Hot Take: the only truly good mirror universe episode was Mirror, Mirror.
I stand with you on this one.
I like how they make someone dress sexy whenever they want to show that they're evil.
Sexy and lesbian. "gay coded villains" are a whole thing.
Fucking love Vic Fontaine
I generally like him, but mirror universe Vic Fontaine was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.
Oh, 100%
DS9 mirror universe episodes were just the writers being down bad. But I'm here for it.
I wonder if it's awkward to write stuff like that once you know the cast.
Awkwardness is probably a variable that is greatly diminished by the writers own horny-on-main.
I might be in the minority,, but I hated the mirror universe episodes. Every single one of them felt like consequence free filler with bad low stakes plot points. I mean, yeah people died, but not the characters I actually cared about.
Mirror universe, time travel and holodeck episodes, the holy trinity of filler episodes in Star Trek.
Oh look we have all these sets and costumes from a different show next door and we're low on budget this season. Welp looks like we're doing a Pirate episode! The question is, time travel, Holodeck or mirror universe? 🤔
I can count on one hand the number of mirror universe episodes I've enjoyed in trek. But I don't even need that one hand to count the mirror episodes I liked in DS9...
Someone's been watching season 4 😂
Ferengi: cool
All others: aw hell naw!
But... holodeck episodes!
Who the hell was responsible for the shoddy lumps of code they call safety protocols? And how the fuck can they "fail"? Any halfway responsible programming would assume the default to be safety on hard coded. So if those protocols were to "fail" they wouldengage safety!
Ok but the baseball episode
Death to the opposition!
In Star Trek, all the software is built by prompting some AI, so nobody knows what the fuck the code is actually doing. 😅
The mirror universe episodes were alright at first but they got old really quick.
Yep.
I’m mostly just against the holodeck episodes. Every time my wif watched ds9 with me, it ended up being a holodeck episode. She doesn’t like Star Trek.
I'm trying not to be offended here, but it's hard.
