Enterprise: Episode 94 - IN A MIRROR DARKLY pt. 1

"In the Mirror Universe, Commander Archer mutinies against Captain Forrest in order to capture a future Earth ship found in Tholian space."

I honestly hate these mirror universe episodes. They add nothing to Star Trek universe and are just confusing. This was no exception. It's similar to all of the other mirror universe episodes (TOS,DS9), except this one takes place entirely in this universe. I like how they use the Tholian plot, including the Tholian Web. Like always, the crew is totally evil. At the end of this episode we see Archer overthrowing Forrest as ISS Enterprise Captain. Also, in this episode T'Pol is looking insanely sexy. She's been looking a bit run down in season 4, the short hair has begun to annoy me. But in this episode, wow. The best part of "In A Mirror" was the alternate theme song, it was dark and the clips were down right bad ass.

The Mirror Mirror concept probably should've stayed as a one-off episode, because it really made no sense. These two separate universes existed parallel to each other, and yet everything was pretty identical except for one or two differences? Whatever.

But... they're always fun, and they give the actors and writers something new and fresh to do. The original Mirror Mirror episode was awesome, and it was a lot of fun when the revisited the universe on DS9, but this one fell flat, but at least Hoshi and T'Pol looked hot, and seeing the crew in the old school uniforms was neat.
