If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I hope it's TOS-style, only replace all the tasselled baldrics with serapes and make the moustaches luxuriantly oiled. The Klingons just keep trying to sneak into the Federation, those lazy bastards! With their warrior hats which are vividly decorated and made of straw!

Perhaps we can finally meet that historic figure, Konza'leHs, the quick.

Data can't exist in the mirror universe, he would either get blown up for being a pussy rear end bitch when the discover him or he would learn, then go full Terminator and conquer the whole Terran Empire since he is by all measurable statistics, better and more suited to rule.

Having no emotions, he doesn't have any desire to rule. He's also practically unkillable, making him the ideal second-in-command.


Lore, on the other hand, is the only hippy pacifist who can survive the mirror federation.

There is a zero percent chance we'll see TOS style Klingots, even though that IS canon for the era, which is a shame. But if by some miracle they DID, I"ll be willing to give this show a major, major pass on just about anything else.

I'm just noticing there must be a huge fan under the tactical console blowing Troi's hair and outfit. Also I thought there was no mirror universe TNG because the Terran Empire fell shortly after the classic series due to Spock going soft. In DS9 humans have been enslaved for like a century.

I want this so bad.

Have Bryan Cranston guest star as an obnoxious conteporary of Kor, just give him the same makeup as Breaking Bad covered with a brown spray tan.

Probably impossible, considering they're blowing their monetary wad on the effects.

It WOULD make Trek cosplay affordable again, too.. those foreheads cost money!

Maybe this is the mirror universe of an alternate timeline. Or an alternate timeline of the mirror universe, which sounds like it'd be a subtly different thing somehow.

Let's unpack this a bit. Does someone having sex with a holo character qualify as the holodeck getting laid?

Also, since costumes, when worn, are brought in from the outside, it would stand to reason anything people bring has to come back out. Soooo... who wipes down the loads?

Technically it's the computer getting laid if anything.

Also the ship is self cleaning. Like your oven.

In Federation holodecks I imagine your surplus sex juices are broken down the same way that you apparently get rid of dishes and table scraps by putting them back in the replicator. Seems like it'd be pretty easy for the forcefield and illusion room to have a self-cleaning mode.

The answer for the holosuites in DS9 is much easier: Rom

A mirror universe episode of TNG would just be a guns-and-tits retread of "Yesterday's Enterprise." The Enterprise is one of the last ships that stands between the Alliance and Earth!

But you know with how the Federation handles automation that they have self-aware Emergency Janitorial Hologram who is only activated to clean up messes then plunged back into the ether.
