What if there's a mirror universe in the other direction too? A universe where everyone is milquetoast and bland and good-natured to the point of simpering, where the most popular hobby is collecting different colors of dryer lint, and even something like a court martial feels more like an episode of Barney and Friends. Where they'd be politely aghast to discover that in the prime universe, people sometimes compete against each other, and can even consider that a friendly thing to do. O'Brien and Bashir from the Wimpazoid universe just can't believe that their counterparts enjoy hurling spiked projectiles at a target, and keeping close track of who is hurling more accurately so that one can be aggrandized over the other. (Let's not even TALK about their holodeck recreations of the prime universe's truly twisted version of the great British and German Aerobatics Fun Festivals of the 1910s.

Maybe it was this universe

Michael's kind of an odd name for a woman?

It just feels like they did it just to draw attention to it.

Main characters should have memorable names, and in 30 years when Michael is probably a unisex or feminine name it'll not be weird anymore.

In 30 years I'd hope people will have better things to watch.

Rhyno is king of bad takes, but the point is moot because Bryan Fuller usually gives his female leads names or nicknames that are traditionally male.

Chuck on Pushing Daisies
George on Dead Like Me
Jaye on Wonderfalls
Michael on Discovery

I'm more of a prince and I haven't watched any of those shows!
